We’re taking a closer look at the licensing mechanisms of Zyxel Nebula.
Nebula Control Center is a Zyxel cloud platform for managing network infrastructure, combining access points, switches, and firewalls under a single panel, regardless of where the offices or facilities are physically located. The administrator configures and monitors devices via a web interface or mobile app, and the management logic itself — from applying settings to collecting statistics — is executed in the Zyxel cloud, not on a local controller.

Zyxel CX4800-56f review: 100G Switch with high redundancy
The Zyxel CX4800-56F is a high-density L3 aggregation optical switch in which the company pioneered the use of 100G ports: 8 QSFP28 100GbE uplinks complement 48 SFP+/SFP28 slots with 10/25gbe support, forming a single 56-port stack for traffic aggregation in campus and data centers factories. With a pass-through switching matrix of up to 4 Tbit/s and forwarding speeds of up to 2 billion packets per second, this switch confidently closes scenarios of highly loaded highways, where not only ...

The differences between expensive Ethernet switches and cheap ones using the example of Zyxel
We will take two switches: the Taiwanese brand Zyxel and the Chinese counterpart from a little-known manufacturer and look at the design differences and what they affect in order to answer the question - does it make sense to overpay for design features?
It's no secret that almost all modern electronics are manufactured in China, even if they are developed in the USA, Europe, Japan or Taiwan – the Chinese have not only learned how to do things efficiently, but have also grown such IT giants ...
Huawei NetEngine 8000 review: Exploring the features of SRv6
Let's talk about the advantages of IPv6-based segment routing technology, which displaces LDP tag allocation and network resource reservation protocols, RSVP on the example of a 10-gigabit router for small businesses and consider how FlexE technology helps to maintain a guaranteed bandwidth level for customers.
.
In recent years, more equipment for routing network traffic has been supplied under the Huawei brand than under other brands, and part of the merit of the company is that it was at ...
Testing the features of the L3 PoE switch IP-Com G5328P-24-410w
This is a 28-port switch, in which 4 ports are gigabit optics for Uplink, and the remaining 24 ports are 1-gigabit RJ45 PoE with a total power budget of 370 watts, and each of these ports can work both in 802.3af mode (up to 15.4 watts) and and in the mode 802.at (up to 30 watts). When integrating into the project, some features of this switch should be taken into account.
Level 3 switches with PoE support are usually used to build enterprise Wi-Fi networks and video surveillance systems. And ...

We explore Zyxel Connect & Protect and answer the main questions: is it possible to do without a security gateway?
From the point of view of the network, a modern facility can be just one access point connected directly to the WAN from the provider, and there are enough resources on this access point to raise the VPN tunnel to the headquarters, and for NAT, and to configure restrictions for customers and for basic protection of customers and employees.
No, but really, why should an expensive security gateway be built on a small facility where the network infrastructure is completely wireless? Modern ...
