Benefits:
Multi-layer Ethernet Switch - ZyXEL ES-4024A an intelligent
Ethernet switch is a multilayer switch that provides enterprise-class
availability, complete security, bandwidth management to improve
the operation of the network. With 24 ports Fast Ethernet and 4
Gigabit Ethernet uplink configurations, the ES-4024A can be deployed
as both an intelligent access layer switch for enterprise wiring
closets and as a Layer 3 backbone switch for small networks.
High Performance Wire-speed Switching and IP Routing -
With hardware-based IP routing engine and the sophisticated multilayer
operating software, the ES-4024A delivers high performance dynamic
IP routing, like OSPF,RIP. In addition to dynamic IP unicast or
multicast, the ES-4024A supports Distance Vector Multicast Routing
Protocol (DVMRP) and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping
to handle variety of datagrams perfectly which made the ES-4024A
ideal for today's multi-service network environment.
Advanced QoS for Significant Service - The ES-4024A works
with advanced QoS mechanism to insure significant service well-operation
via a series of QoS process to prevent customers' network be impacted
by network congestion. With intelligent multilayer capability, the
ES-4024A can classify, police, and prioritize the incoming packets
according to well-predefined QoS policies. In classification, Differentiated
Services Code Point field (DSCP) and the 802.1p class of service
(CoS) field are be identified the priority of the incoming packets.
Classification and reclassification can be based on criteria as
specific as rule-based on both IP and MAC addresses, on the other
hand, for the bandwidth management, the ES-4024A has been loaded
with powerful traffic management. For instance, the ES-4024A provides
4 priority queues per port for different types of traffics, allowing
administrators to set rule-based shaping and rate limiting based
on UDP/TCP, IP address or MAC addresses which takes full advantages
of the limited network resources and guarantees the best performance.
High-Security for Business-Critical Application - The
ES-4024A offers complete data security in data and management plane
via a wide range of security features to protect users'data and
administrative traffic, secure the network from unauthorized users.
Remote Access Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) authentication enables
centralized access control of switches and restricts unauthorized
users.
802.1x authentication and Port security provide the ability to
deny unauthorized users from accessing the network. Limited MAC
Number by Port limits the total number of devices connected into
a switch port, therefore highly reducing the risk of unknown access
from mass deployed wireless network or Hubs. To cooperate with RADIUS,
802.1x is useful to prevent unauthorized access based on username
and password (or other credentials) that is powerful access control
for convergence network mixed wired and wireless.
The ES-4024A multi-layer (L2/L3/L4) ACLs is a suite of sophisticated
rule-based control mechanisms that can be easy deployed based on
realistic network environment via Web GUI or command line to prevent
abnormal and illegal access in advance. The rules can be defined
to deny packets based on source and destination MAC addresses, IP
addresses, or TCP/UDP ports.
Enterprise-class Network Management - To compare with
conventional bounded network management, ZyXEL ES-4024A demonstrates
its power with advanced management capabilities; such as the ZyXEL-exclusive
iStacking(™) clustering management technology that can across different
floors and routing domain to locate other iStacking-capable switches
in the same management cluster, and it allows administrators to
manage 24 switches with one single IP. That high reduces operation
cost and more flexible to maintain ZyXEL Switches. IT staff can
opt for Web or command line interface to suit their convenience,
and even encrypt their instructions with SSHv1/v2 and SSL/TLS. With
these sophisticated functionalities, the IT staff is empowered to
build a highly secure and efficient corporate network with minimum
effort.
