ES-3124PWR

Managed L2+ Fast Ethernet Switch

Power over Ethernet (PoE) Support
ZyXEL ES-3124PWR, an intelligent L2+ managed Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch designed for enterprises and campuses need to deploy powered networking devices on remote locations. The ES-3124PWR conforms to IEEE 802.3af standard supporting all the different kinds of PoE network infrastructures in the corporate. The PoE technology adopted by ES-3124PWR allows enterprises to transmit both data and electrical power to remote powered devices, such as IP camera, IP phone, and wireless AP or routers through existing CAT-5 UTP cabling. This provides several advantages like single cabling, centralized remote power monitoring, as well as plug-and-play convenience and flexibility. These advantages will result in to lower deployment cost, higher management efficiency, and future reconfiguration flexibility.

Flexibility and Extensibility
With twenty-four 10/100Mbps RJ-45 ports, two GbE copper ports and two dual-personality SFP / copper GbE interface, ZyXEL ES-3124PWR boasts a high performance switch architecture that is capable of providing non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed throughput as high as 12.8Gbps. Its four built-in GbE uplink ports offer incredible extensibility, flexibility, and connectivity to the Core switch or Servers. ZyXEL ES-3124PWR adds a built-in DC power receptacle on its rear panel for external Backup Power System connection for even higher reliability; and the system can switch to the alternative power source automatically in response to different situations.

Triple Play and QoS Management
ZyXEL ES-3124PWR is loaded with powerful traffic management and QoS features. For instance, the ES-3124PWR provides 8 priority queues per port for different types of traffics, allowing administrators to set policies for class based filtering and rule-based rate limitation. The ES-3124PWR prioritizes applications with WFQ (Weighted Fair Queuing) scheduling algorithm allocating appropriate bandwidth to important voice and video applications and empowering the enterprise to take full advantage of the limited network resources while guaranteeing the best performance. Additionally, the ES-3124PWR also supports a variety of ways to categorize and prioritize network packets. Multilayer information from L2 to L4 can be used to classify packet priorities for alignment with ACL features to construct a platform for Multi-Service Networks.

Advanced Security Features
ZyXEL ES-3124PWR offers comprehensive Access Control List (ACL) for enforcing security to the edge. Its protection mechanisms include per-port MAC filtering, limited per-port MAC number, port-based 802.1x user and device authentication, as well as TCP/UDP Socket filtering to control the network services accessible to employees. With these solid mechanisms, the administrators can now construct highly secured corporate networks with considerably less time and effort then before.

Seamless Network Management
With supports for advanced features like iStacking? SNMP, Web, telnet, RS-232 and RJ-45 MGMT ports, the ES-3124PWR is very easy to deploy and manage. Better yet, its underlying ZyXEL iStacking?technology allows up to 24 clustered switches to be managed by just one IP management, enabling users to benefit from significantly reduced operation and maintenance cost.
