Benefits

Intelligent Multilayer Gigabit Ethernet Switch

The ZyXEL GS-4000 series is an intelligent Gigabit multilayer (L2/L3/L4) Ethernet switch that provides enterprise-class availability, resilient and redundant architecture with OSPF, VRRP, RSTP and port trunking.

The ZyXEL GS-4000 series offers many advanced features to make it the preferred choice for real routing network in the enterprise. Advanced functionalities like QoS, rate-limiting, rule-based access control lists, multicasting support, wire-speed, high-performance IP routing and simplified management software (iStacking) highly improve network operation.

High-Performance Wire-speed Switching and IP Routing

The ZyXEL GS-4000 series consists of two switches: the GS-4024 with 20-port 100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 and four dual-personality GbE interface (RJ-45 or SFP), and the GS-4012F with 8-port SFP open slots and four dual-personality GbE interface (RJ-45 or SFP).

Base on non-blocking switching architecture, the ZYXEL GS-4000 series can be deployed as both an intelligent access layer switch for enterprise wiring closets and as a Layer 3 backbone switch for SMB networks. The GS-4000 series delivers wire-speed full-dynamic IP routing with OSPF and RIP, using a hardware-based IP routing engine and sophisticated multilayer operating software.

The ZyXEL GS-4000 series supports dynamic IP multicast, Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping to perfectly handle a variety of datagrams making the ZyXEL GS-4000 series ideal for today's multi-service network environment.

iFlow - Advanced QoS for Significant Service

The ZyXEL GS-4000 series works with ZyXEL exclusive iFlow technology, a set of advanced QoS mechanisms that insures reliable and smooth operation in face of network congestion.

With intelligent multilayer capability, the ZyXEL GS-4000 series offers wire-speed flow control which can classify, police, and prioritize the incoming packets according to predefined QoS policies. Differentiated Services Code Point field (DSCP) and 802.1p class of service (CoS) fields are used to assess the priority of incoming packets. Classification and reclassification can be based on criteria as specific as IP and MAC addresses, VLAN ID or TCP/UDP port number.

For bandwidth management, the ZyXEL GS-4000 series is loaded with powerful traffic management tools. For instance, the ZyXEL GS-4000 series provides eight priority queues per port for different types of traffic, allowing administrators to set rule-based rate limiting.

iSafe - High-Security for Business-Critical Applications

The ZyXEL GS-4000 series offers iSafe intelligent 3-tier security, which protects both user's data and administrative traffic, while securing the network from unauthorized users.

802.1x authentication and port security prevent unauthorized users from accessing the network. MAC Number by Port limits the total number of devices connected, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. RADIUS-based 802.1x enforces access based on username and password (or other credentials) and acts as powerful access control for convergent networks with mixed wired and wireless access.

The ZyXEL GS-4000 series multilayer (L2/L3/L4) ACLs suite of sophisticated rule-based control mechanisms is easily deployed, based on realistic network environments via a Web GUI or command line to prevent abnormal and illegal access. The rules can be defined to deny packets based on source and destination MAC addresses, IP addresses, or TCP/UDP ports.

iManage - Enterprise-class Network Management

Compared with conventional network management, the ZyXEL GS-4000 series demonstrates its power with advanced management capabilities.

The ZyXEL GS-4000 series offers the exclusive iStacking™: clustering management technology that can cross different floors and routing domains to locate other iStacking-capable switches in the same management cluster. This allows administrators to manage 24 switches with a single IP, using a Web or command line interface, including encryption via SSHv1/v2 and SSL/TLS.
