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 ...
Setting up protection against IT attacks in the enterprise using Zyxel equipment
A typical IoT attack looks like this: the device connects to a malicious Internet resource directly or through its own VPN, downloads and installs malicious code on itself, after which it begins to be either part of a large bot farm for attacks on third-party resources and use as a resident proxy, or simply spies on your network, trying to intercept anythat data, pull information from open resources or harm in any other way. It is not difficult to protect your network from possible IoT attacks. ...
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 ...
Bulletin on IoT security. Is your network ready for Internet of Things exploits?
Not so long ago, Human Security revealed an entire shadow network associated with infected devices and malicious applications. Infected were not only Android TV set-top boxes, but also tablet PCs, wearable devices and even cars. Some IoT devices may even be infected with viruses or Trojans already at the stage of their production or sale, and since it is impossible to imagine a modern company without IoT today, it is important to properly protect your network.
Today's world is completely ...
Let's explore the features of Zyxel XMG1930-30HP, a switch with 2.5G/10G PoE ports and licensed L3 functions
Zyxel reasoned this way: if the L3 functionality is already determined only by the firmware, 99% choose an access switch for the sake of port density, PoE, VLAN, Multicast, and less often for static routing, then here's the base model XMG1930, which is generally L2, but slightly L3. And if your network requires advanced L3 functions, then all this is also there, just buy the appropriate license and get the core-level functionality. You can do this at any time, even when buying a device, even ...
How Zyxel Secureporter facilitates corporate network security monitoring
Zyxel SecuReporter is a single assembly point for reports, dashboards and statistics on the operation of your network's security gateway. Naturally, only Zyxel gateways of the USG Flex and ATP series for small and medium-sized businesses are supported. According to the developers, Secureporter will allow sysadmins to better investigate and predict traffic anomalies, block unwanted connections and configure security policies more effectively.
Large modern IT vendors strive to earn not only on ...
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 ...
