Link Aggregation Link aggregation (trunking) is the grouping of physical ports into one
logical higher-capacity link. You may want to trunk ports if for example, it
is cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to under-utilize a high-
speed, but more costly, single-port link.
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. For redundancy, multiple
RADIUS servers can be configured.
Device Management Use the web configurator to easily configure the rich range of features on
the MS-7206.
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 MS-
7206.
Note: Only upload firmware for your specific model!
Configuration Backup &
Restoration
Make a copy of the MS-7206’s configuration and put it back on the MS-
7206 later if you decide you want to revert back to an earl i er
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.
