Port Authentication and
Security
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.
Authenticatio and
Authorization
The Switch supports authentication and authorization services via RADIUS and
TACACS+ AAA servers.
Device Management Use the web configurator or commands to easily configure the rich range of
features on the Switch.
Port Cloning Use the port cloning feature to copy the settings you configure on one port to
another port or ports.
Syslog The Switch can generate syslog messages and send it to a syslog server.
Firmware Upgrade 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!
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.
Cluster Management Cluster management (also known as iStacking) allows you to manage switches
through one switch, called the cluster manager. The switches must be directly
connected and be in the same VLAN group so as to be able to communicate with
one another.
PPPoE IA With the PPPoE Intermediate Agent enabled, the Switch can give a PPPoE
termination server additional subscriber information that the server can use to
identify and authenticate a PPPoE client.
CPU Protection You can limit the rate of protocol control packets (such as ARP, BPDU and/or
IGMP) to be delivered to the CPU on a port.
Error Disable You can set the Switch to take an action (such as to shut down a port or stop
sending packets) on a port when the Switch detects a pre-configured error. You
can also configure the Switch to automatically undo the action after the error is
gone.
ARP Learning You can configure the Switch to update the ARP table with with an ARP reply or
a gratuitous ARP request and/or an APR request.
