The following lists, which are not exhaustive, illustrate the standards supported in
the Switch.
Port Mirroring Port mirroring allows you to copy traffic going from one or all
ports to another or all ports in order that you can examine the
traffic from the mirror port (the port you copy the traffic to)
without interference.
Link Aggregation 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.
STP (Spanning Tree
Protocol)
STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup
links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a Switch to
interact with other STP-compliant switches in your network to
ensure that only one path exists between any two stations on
the network.
Loop Guard Use the loop guard feature to protect against network loops on
the edge of your network.
IP Source Guard Use IP source guard to filter unauthorized DHCP and ARP
packets in your network.
Authentication The Switch supports authentication services via RADIUS
servers.
Device Management Use the Web Configurator to easily configure the rich range of
features on the Switch.
Firmware Upgrade Download new firmware (when available) from the ZyXEL web
site and use the Web Configurator to put it on the Switch.
Note: Only upload firmware for your specific model!
Configuration Backup &
Restoration
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.
Logging The Switch allows you to specify what information should be
logged and where it should be stored. It supports internal
logging as well as external logging via a syslog server.
