How can I migrate configurations from XGS1930 to XGS1935 switches?
```htmlThe XGS1930 and XGS1935 switches are part of different model series, meaning they have distinct hardware and firmware designs. As per the current firmware design, configuration settings cannot be directly transferred across different switch models. However, we recommend the following approaches to ease the migration…

Why is the port status not updating after my device connected to the port?
Question: I just connected a device to my switch port, but the port status on Nebula Control Center (NCC) has not updated. Why is this happening? Answer: This behavior is expected. The port status displayed on NCC is not updated in real-time. Instead, it relies on periodic synchronization between the switch and NCC. The…

Is there anything that needs to be confirmed when connecting a third-party GBIC to a Zyxel switch?
Is there anything that needs to be confirmed when connecting a third-party GBIC to a Zyxel switch? Ensure the fiber cable type matches the GBIC module type: Use multi-mode fiber cables for SR (short-range) GBIC modules. Use single-mode fiber cables for LR (long-range) GBIC modules. Monitor the DDMI (Digital Diagnostics…

What is the proper setting for the port type: trunk or access, on a switch?
If the peer device is connected to another switch or access point, it is recommended to set the port type to trunk. However, if the peer device is an end device or VLAN-unaware such as like IP phone, set the port type to access and assign the appropriate PVID.

Why can't my switches connect using a DAC cable?
Zyxel XGS/XMG/XS series switches support SFP+ and DAC-10G on fiber ports. To maintain network stability, the port's media type must match the cable in use. If the media type and cable are mismatched, the ports may fail to link, repeatedly link up and down, or experience high CRC error counts. This guide explains how to…

Why my wireless guest VLAN cannot get the IP?
When configuring the guest VLAN, it is also necessary to configure L2 isolation. Typically, the gateway's MAC address should be added to the whitelist. If the issue is that the end client fails to obtain a VLAN IP address, please access the gateway and use the CLI commandshow interface VLANxxx. This will display the VLAN…

Why am I unable to set up LACP/static trunk on my switch?
the inability to configure LACP/static trunk on your switch may be due to Nebula's restrictions designed to prevent connection issues. Here are the rules: Normal ports can only form a trunk with other normal ports, not with combo ports. Offline combo ports can only form a trunk with other offline combo ports. Online combo…

Why does traffic from the management VLAN always appear when a PC is connected to switch ports?
Nebula Switches (in cloud mode) have a built-in mechanism to prevent them from going offline when uplink ports are changed. By default, the management VLAN is applied to all switch ports. To adjust this behavior, navigate to Configure > Switches > Switch ports on the NCC. Check the settings to see if the switch ports are…
