This handbook is a series of tutorials that guides you through various applications of the Zyxel. The
purpose of the handbook is to show you how to proceed through an application rather than
explain the meaning of GUI features. For the latter, see the Related Information section.
Note: IP addresses, port numbers, and object names are just examples used in these tutorials, so
you must replace them with the corresponding information from your own network
environment when implementing a tutorial.
Bold text indicates the name of a GUI menu, field or field choice.
The handbook is for Zyxel Enterprise Switch series products. Not all products support all firmware
features. Screenshots and graphics in this handbook may differ slightly from your product due to
differences in your product firmware or your computer operating system. Every effort has been
made to ensure that the information in this handbook is accurate at the time of writing.
