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 ...

Exploring the features of the Zyxel XMG1915-18EP, a 2.5-Gigabit PoE switch with a basic L3

We have a rather interesting class of L3 switches in front of us: multi-gigabit PoE models with a relatively small number of ports, an average PoE budget by modern standards, but 10-gigabit uplinks. They are interesting because the manufacturer has placed 2.5G PoE + 10G in a compact 9-inch rack housing with a silent fan, and such a switch can be installed at home, in a 1-room office, under a false ceiling or in narrow telecommunication cabinets. We have a rather interesting class of L3 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Testing smart antenna and beamforming at Zyxel Wi-Fi 6 access points

Does beamforming technology replace expensive Smart antennas with switchable diagram or adaptive array? Let's answer this question by testing various Zyxel Wi-Fi 6 access points. How does Beamforming work in general Beamforming technology is the most frequently used function in the new generation of intelligent antennas at Wi-Fi access points 6. The essence of Beamforming technology is that an array of antennas is used to “control” or transmit radio signals in a certain direction, and not ...

Review of the Zyxel WAX630S access point and the XGS1250-12 switch: an inexpensive tandem for Wi-Fi 6 and a multi-gigabit LAN

If you choose an access point for rooms with high traffic, for example, for restaurants, halls of business centers or for conference halls, then you most likely need a model with Wi-Fi 6 support and a total bandwidth above 2Gbps. As a rule, such devices have a price of about $1000, and their characteristics exceed the requirements of a typical customer. If you choose an access point for rooms with high traffic, for example, for restaurants, halls of business centers or for conference halls, ...

Quick setup of a wireless network via Zyxel Nebula when deployed in branches

Let's consider a typical case: a large retail chain opens hundreds of new stores, each of which plans to use IoT infrastructure using Wi-Fi 6. In order to facilitate the setup and commissioning of equipment, in other words, so that the sysadmin does not hang around all 100 stores, you can turn the deployment process upside down: first set up the network, and then lay the cables and mount the devices. Today ZyXEL provides you with such an opportunity when using the Nebula service. Let's ...
