DESCRIPTION
With IP multicast, the Switch delivers IP packets to a group of hosts on
the network-not everybody. In addition, the Switch can send packets to
Ethernet devices that are not VLAN-aware by untagging (removing the
VLAN tags) IP multicast packets.
(M)(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links
between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a Switch to interact with
other (M)(R)STP-compliant switches in your network to ensure that
only one path exists between any two stations on the network.
Use the loop guard feature to protect against network loops on the
edge of your network.
Use IP source guard to filter unauthorized DHCP and ARP packets in
your network.
Link aggregation (trunking) is the grouping of physical ports into one
logical higher-capacity link. You may want to trunk ports if for example,
it is cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to under-utilize a
high-speed, but more costly, single-port link.
For security, the Switch allows authentication using IEEE 802.1x with
an external RADIUS server and port security that allows only packets
with dynamically learned MAC addresses and/or configured static MAC
addresses to pass through a port on the Switch.
The Switch supports authentication and accounting services via
RADIUS and TACACS+ Authentication servers.
Use the Web Configurator or commands to easily configure the rich
range of features on the Switch.
Use the port cloning feature to copy the settings you configure on one
port to another port or ports.
The Switch can generate syslog messages and send it to a syslog
server.
Download new firmware (when available) from the ZyXEL web site and
use the Web Configurator, CLI or an FTP/TFTP tool to put it on the
Switch.
Note: Only upload firmware for your specific model!
Make a copy of the Switch's configuration and put it back on the Switch
later if you decide you want to revert back to an earlier configuration.
At the time of writing, you can configure one VDSL line profile and
VDSL channel profile in one VDSL template on the Switch.
