ZyXEL Communications GS2210-48 User manual

Incorporating data, video and voice communications into a single IP network provides more
eective communications, centralized IT management, and lower overall deployment cost for the
entire organization. This is why an increasing amount of businesses, educational institutions, and
hotels are adopting such IP-based services as VoIP, video conferencing, IP surveillance, and IPTV.
Yet such converged deployments pose many challenges to the IP network. IT sta need to ensure
consistent performance for critical applications, provide sucient isolation and network security,
and shape network trac to meet the demands of diverse deployments.
The ZyXEL GS2210 Series are fully featured Layer 2 Gigabit access switches designed to meet
these converged data, video and voice networking challenges. The 48-port models have a exible
port conguration of forty-four (44) GbE RJ-45 ports, two (2) GbE SFP ports, and four (4) GbE
combo (RJ-45/SFP) ports. The PoE models comply with the IEEE 802.3af PoE and 802.3at PoE Plus
standards and provide a high PoE power budget of 375 watts. The complete GS2210 Series has a
rich Layer 2 feature set with advanced trac shaping, network isolation, and security features—
making it the perfect L2 access switch solution for converged data, video and voice networking.
Benets
Agile trac control for converged networking applications
Designed for access layer converged data, video and voice applications, the ZyXEL GS2210 Series
has a rich Layer 2 feature set that can shape the trac for diverse VoIP, video conference, IPTV and
IP surveillance deployments. Supporting L2 multicast and IGMP snooping, the GS2210 Series can
support large IPTV deployments, while using bandwidth eciently by directing multicast trac to
the subscribers only. The Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) function ensures better network security
by allowing a single multicast VLAN to be shared in the network while subscribers remain in separate
VLANs. These advanced trac control features of the GS2210 Series provide hotels, businesses and
educational institutions greater agility and more eective trac management for the converged
applications of today.
Intelligent and high-powered Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The ZyXEL GS2210 Series PoE switches feature advanced and intelligent PoE functions that simplify and
lower the cost of PoE deployments such as IP telephony, WLAN and IP surveillance. This Series of L2 PoE
switches support the IEEE 802.3af PoE and 802.3at PoE Plus standards, which provide up to 30 watts of
power per port for advanced Powered Devices (PD) like 802.11ac wireless APs and video IP phones. The
high power budget of 375 watts enables the GS2210 PoE switches to comfortably accommodate the PDs
required in a modern network edge.

The intelligent PoE technology used in the GS2210 PoE switches enables more ecient use of power
resources that delivers better ROI for businesses. Setting the PoE switch to Consumption Mode, it
can automatically detect the power consumption status of each Powered Device and supply only
the amount of power required. This intelligent power allocation function minimizes the waste of
unused power, helps businesses save money, and enables the PoE switch to power more PDs.
High level network and access security
Equipped with an extensive array of access security, trac security and network storm protection
features, the ZyXEL GS2210 Series oers enhanced control and isolation for improved convergence
of video, voice and data. Such advanced defense mechanisms as IP source guard, DHCP snooping,
and ARP inspection can detect and block intentional network attacks. The CPU protection function
ensures normal switch operation by preventing malicious trac from trying to shut down the
switch. Combining multiple L2, L3 and L4 ltering mechanisms with such education- and hospitality-
friendly features as MAC freeze, port isolation and guest VLAN, the ZyXEL GS2210 Series oers a high
level of security, exibility and control for diverse access layer deployments.
Future-proof connectivity for evolving networks
The ZyXEL GS2210 Series helps businesses and organizations stay ahead and get ready for future
IPv6 networks. It supports dual stack (IPv4 and IPv6) and IPv6 host that allows businesses and
organizations to deploy the GS2210 switch at the network edge today, and easily migrate to the
next-generation Internet Protocol in the future. With support for IPv6 ACL packet ltering, the
GS2210 L2 Gigabit switch can create secured IPv6 networks that are protected from illegal IPv6
clients. The GS2210 Series is designed with a comprehensive set of IPv6 management features that
include ICMPv6, neighbor discovery and DHCPv6 relay, which facilitate the migration to next-
generation networking applications without an extensive equipment upgrade.
• Each guest room can be assigned a dedicated
data VLAN to provide better isolation and
security to the Internet users
• The MVR function allows a single IPTV multicast
VLAN to be shared with all the set-top boxes
while the subscribers remain in separate data
VLANs
• Enabling the IGMP snooping function allows
IPTV trac to be directed to the subscribers
only, which reduces the waste of bandwidth
caused by multicasting IPTV trac to all ports
• The rich QoS feature set provides eective
bandwidth prioritization and control to ensure
optimal IPTV quality and prevent bandwidth
abuse from P2P applications
