[. . . ] High performance switching - IPv4/IPv6 routing - L3 advanced routing protocols, OSPF, DVMRP, VRRP and ECMP - Optional modular 10 Gigabit Ethernet support Build a High Availability, Robust and Reliable Network -- Meet the Challenge of Virtualization The ZyXEL XGS Series of L3 switches enable enterprise and SMB businesses to deploy high availability networks to meet the need to migrate to a virtualized and consolidated solution. The evolution to the virtualized network meets the increasing demands in server utilization and availability within the business today. [. . . ] Packets can be delivered to the same device through different routing paths by designating the equal costs. Businesses can adopt basic static routing technology XGS4700 Series XGS4500 Series 24/48-port GbE L3 Switch with 10 GbE Uplink such as RIP and RIPv2 for small network routing applications or advanced routing protocols such as OSPF and ECMP for load balancing. These protocols are a critical part in the creation of fully resilient scalable networks. XGS4700 Series XGS4500 Series 24/48-port GbE L3 Switch with 10 GbE Uplink Optional 10G Gigabit uplink capability The ZyXEL XGS4700/XGS4500 Series offers wire speed 10G Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports for campus networks or service providers to deliver high-bandwidth applications for congestion relief and smooth data delivery. With the 10 optional 10G Gigabit modules (CX4 and XFP interfaces), customers can easily integrate new elements into the existing networks and increase bandwidth at critical points of the network without having to go to the additional cost of purchasing whole new network switches. Intelligent QoS for mission critical applications In order 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 businesses. The ZyXEL XGS4700/XGS4500 Series supports intelligent QoS features to regulate network traffic for the best performance. Taking advantage of Class of Service (CoS) and Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) support, network designers and administrators can easily classify and enable traffic prioritization for critical business applications such as VoIP and video conferencing. In addition, the XGS4700/XGS4500 Series also provides advanced bandwidth control with 64 kbps granularity and 8 hardware priority queues to bring better bandwidth administration to network operators. High-level security for ultimate network protection The ZyXEL XGS4700/XGS4500 Series works with an intelligent 3-tier security mechanism that offers complete data and management protection via a wide range of security features to protect subscriber data and deter unauthorized users through effective traffic administration. The 802. 1X Authentication and Port Security features provide the ability to stop unauthorized users from accessing the network, while Limited MAC Number by Port limits the total number of devices connected to a switch port, and thus significantly reducing the risk of unknown access from massively deployed wireless networks or hubs. To serve specific users such as guests or visitors to the business, the 802. 1X Guest VLAN feature allows them to access the Internet via the Guest VLAN without entering the business's internal network. The multilayer (L2/L3/L4) ACL suite of the XGS4700/XGS4500 Series has sophisticated rule-based control mechanisms that can be easily deployed based on actual network environments via a Web GUI or command-line interface to prevent illegitimate access. The rules can be defined to deny packets according to source and destination of MAC addresses, IP addresses or TCP/UDP ports. Robust and high-availability system design guarantees non-stop operations The ZyXEL XGS4700/XGS4500 Series supports the VRRP routing protocol for resilience within the network to avoid the failure of transmission. The optional DC power source, called BPS, protects the device from internal AC power supply failures, while the IEEE 802. 3ad Link Aggregation reduces network downtime by providing more packet paths and bandwidth aggregation to critical devices.
