Overview:
The ZyXEL Gigabit Switch 4500 Series consists of two switches: the ZyXEL XGS-4528F and XGS-4526. These are intelligent multilayer (L2/L3/L4) Ethernet switches that provide four flexible performance choices — 10/100/1000Mbps and 10 Gbps speeds, along with enterprise-class availability, resiliency and a redundant architecture. The XGS-4526 offers complete Layer-3 features to make it the preferred choice for real routing networks in the enterprise.
The XGS-4526 provides 20 1000Base-T ports, 4 Gigabit dual-personalities, and 1 open slot for the optional 10-Gigabit uplink port module, the XGS-4526 is ideal for small and medium enterprises seeking to build a high performance network.
- L3 advanced routing protocols, OSPF, VRRP
- Multilayer-aware (L2/L3/L4) ACL for security protection and traffic optimization
- IGMPv3, DVMRP, MVR
- Port security and enhanced 802.1x port authentication
- VLAN stacking (QinQ) for network-based VPN or campus VPN
- 802.1x authentication
- ZyXEL iStackingTM technology clustering network management
- SNMP & RMON support
- IEEE 802.1p 8 hardware priority queue
- WFQ, WRR and SPQ queuing algorithms
- Backup power system support
Features & Benefits:
Managed L2 and L3 Gigabit connectivity for lower future expansion and upgrading costs - The ZyXEL XGS-4526 provides wirespeed Layer-2 Gigabit switching of up to 144Gpbs, along with advanced Layer-3 switching, multicasting, resiliency including OSPF, DVMRP and VRRP for connectivity requirements. Its four flexible speeds — 10/100/1000Mbps and 10Gbps performance — also provide greater flexibility to the core networks or high-performance servers.
Intelligent QoS for mission critical applications ensure best network status - With more applications integrated into IP-based networks, traffic flows become more complicated and diverse than ever. To ensure the quality of multiple services on a converged network, adopting advanced traffic control technologies to manage different types of traffic flows is critical and necessary to enterprises.
The ZyXEL XGS-4526 supports Intelligent QoS features to regulate network traffics for the best performance. Taking advantage of Class of Service (CoS) and Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) supports, administrators can easily classify and perform traffic prioritizing for critical business applications such as VoIP and video conferencing. In addition, the 4500 Series provides advanced bandwidth control with granularity of 64kbps and 8 hardware priority queues that bring better bandwidth administration to network operators.
Robust and high-availability system design guarantee non-stop operations - The ZyXEL XGS-4526 supports the VRRP routing protocol for failover transmissions. The second DC power source, called BPS, protects the device from internal AC power supply failures, while the IEEE802.3ad Link aggregation reduces network downtime by providing more packet paths and bandwidth aggregation to critical paths. The Gigabit connectivity not only gives superb transmission bandwidth, but also allows users to set up Gigabit aggregation for securing critical transmission paths. The IEEE802.1w Rapid spanning tree (RSTP) also allows immediate recovery from failed links by sending packets via a backup link path.
Hassle-free network management and stacking capability of up to 24 units - The ZyXEL XGS-4526 provides various network management options for administrators to choose to manage the switch using friendly Web-based configuration or convenient text-based CLI (Command Line Interface), and it also supports SNMP-based, centralized management software for switch maintenance to be done remotely. On the other hand, the XGS-4526 supports the ZyXEL-exclusive iStacking™ clustering management technology that works across different floors and routing domains to locate other iStacking-capable switches in the same management cluster, allowing administrators to manage 24 switches with one single IP. This not only greatly reduces operating costs, but also offers more flexible maintenance to ZyXEL Switches.
