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 ...

VPN orchestration from Zyxel: we configure any tunnel scenarios, even without knowing the gateway addresses

The Nebula cloud Controller from Zyxel allows you to create VPN scenarios with Multi-WAN, in which you do not even need to specify gateway addresses and connection parameters. Lazily clicking the mouse, everything is configured and monitored by itself. We are considering how it works. Until now, for many network administrators, VPN tunnels present difficulties, especially when you simultaneously implement both client access to the node and communication between offices. It's not easy enough ...

Zyxel MG-108 review, 2.5GBase-T unmanaged switch for home/office

Zyxel has a series of simple unmanaged switches for 2.5-Gigabit networks, with 5 and 8 ports. Both have a non-blocking switching matrix for full bandwidth: 25 and 40 Gbit/s, respectively, that is, they can be used in the most loaded networks. We will review and test the 8-port model. That's how you live and don't think that the 1GBaseT standard has been exchanged for the third decade. Introduced back in 1999, it managed to acquire a lot of faster options, but it is still not going to give up ...

Impregnable NAS: hardening and protecting Synology

A modern NAS is quite capable of protecting itself from most attacks and guaranteeing not only the continuity of the service, but also the inviolability of the stored data. Even with minimal settings and following the manufacturer's recommendations, the NAS can become an impregnable fortress for an attacker, so reliable that you can connect the device directly to the Internet without a Firewall, leave it literally in an unguarded place (which is important for peripheral installations), being ...

Zyxel WAX650S review and test: flagship access point with Secure Wi-Fi technology

The flagship access point with Smart Antenna technology allows you to install a VPN tunnel directly between yourself and the office gateway, so that all working resources in your own VLAN are available to the user. It is also now possible to configure authentication via Google Auth for even greater network protection. Today we are considering the top Wi-Fi 6 access point made by Zyxel. This is a truly "omnivorous" access point, designed for installation both in rooms with a large ...
