Getting to Know Your Switch
1.1 Introduction
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Switch. The XS1920 Series
consist of the following models at the time of writing:
• XS1920-12
The Switch is a 10G Ethernet web-managed switch with layer-2, layer-3, and layer-4 features.
With its built-in web configurator, including the ZyXEL One Network (ZON) Neighbor Management
feature (
Section 7.3 on page 56 ), viewing, managing and configuring the Switch and its
neighboring devices is easy. The Switch can also be managed via third-party SNMP management.
ZyXEL One Network (ZON) Utility is a tool that lets set up and maintain network devices in a simple
and efficient way. You can download the ZON Utility at www.zyxel.com and install it on a computer.
For more information on the ZON Utility see
Section 7.3 on page 56 .
The following table describes the port features of the 10G Switch. 100Mbps connections are not
guaranteed.
The next section shows a few examples of using the Switch in various network environments.
1.1.1 Backbone Application
The Switch is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be expected in the near
future. The Switch can be used standalone for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect
computers and servers directly to the Switch’s port or connect other switches to the Switch.
In this example, all computers can share high-speed applications on the server. To expand the
network, simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, computers, print servers
etc.
