Benefits:
Powerful Compact Design for Small Workgroup
Environment
The ES-2108 Managed Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Switch series is designed
for small workgroup environment. Thanks to its compact 8-port design
and selections of uplink options (1000Base-T, SFP, 100FX), the ES-2108
series offers functionality and connectivity that best fit your
network needs. In addition, the wall-mountable design adds flexibility
of deployment.
The ES-2108 series comes in four models: ES-2108, ES-2108-G,
ES-2108-LC and ES-2108PWR. All switches come with a non-blocking
5.6 Gbps switching architecture for wire-speed transmission. The
ES-2108 has 8 10/100Base-T ports without the uplink interface. The
ES-2108-G comes with one dual personality Gigabit uplink port. Designed
for current 100FX deployment, the ES-2108-LC comes with one independent
1 100FX port and one SFP slot to offer network bridging over the
fiber connection with future hardware upgrade. In addition to having
all the features in ES-2108-G, ES-2108PWR includes the PoE (Power
over Ethernet) feature to supply power to devices connected to the
8 PoE ports simultaneously.
Excellent Network Management Capability
The ZyXEL ES-2108 series includes various management tools
to streamline your management effort. With ZyXEL's exclusive iStacking™
technology, you can manage up to 24 ZyXEL switches through one IP
address.. In addition, through iManage™ that includes Web-GUI, CLI
(Command Line Interface) and text-based configuration, network managers
can select the one management interface they are most comfortable
with and get the job done efficiently. Moreover, you can protect
your management session with SSHv1/v2 authentication and SSL encryption
features. You can also use ZyXEL's NetAtlas Enterprise, (an SNMP-based
network management software) to remotely manage your ES-2108 series
from a central location(*). With its comprehensive features, ZyXEL's
ES-2108 series is your first choice for cost-effective networking.
Security on the Network Edge
Support of IEEE 802.1x authentication allows centralized
user management and added security protection. The ES-2108 series
comes with complete VLAN functions (IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging and
port-based VLAN) secure your network. With 4K PVID, you have complete
freedom in VLAN management. The ES-2108 series also includes device-aware
security features (MAC address, like MAC filtering, MAC freezing
and MAC forwarding) to effectively prevent access of unidentified
devices. All these features offer extra protection on the network
edge.
Traffic Prioritization for Multi-Services
With 4 priority queues and WRR scheduling mechanism, ZyXEL's
ES-2108 series is able to perform traffic prioritizing for multi-service
applications. You can also customize DSCP settings to provide an
end-to-end QoS environment. In addition, you can enable IGMP snooping
to optimize service quality for IP multicasting applications. For
bandwidth management, the ES-2108 series supports bandwidth increment
of 64Kbps to give different bandwidth allocations
