Is the EEE function enabled by default on the GS1100 series switches?
Yes, EEE is typically enabled by default on GS1100 series switches. It is designed to operate efficiently and reduce power consumption when the network traffic load is light.
-
What is EEE (Energy-Efficient Ethernet)?
Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) is a networking standard that reduces power consumption during periods of low network activity. It allows network devices like switches to enter a low-power state when not actively transmitting data, thereby saving energy.

Why Does My Network Still Run at 1Gbps After Configuring LAG?
First, let's see how LAG Works. LAG (Link Aggregation) is a method of combining multiple physical ports into a single logical link. This setup is primarily used to increase the network's capacity to handle data traffic and improve reliability. A common misconception is that LAG increases the transmission speed of…

Selecting Ports for Mirroring on Zyxel GS1200 Switches
Q: Which ports can I use for mirroring on a Zyxel GS1200 series switch? A: On Zyxel GS1200 series switches, any port can be set as a mirrored port or a monitor port. You can select multiple Mirrored Ports, but only one Monitor Port. For more detailed information, see the full guide here.

How to Enable Port Mirroring on a Zyxel GS1200 Series Switch
Q: How do I enable port mirroring on a Zyxel GS1200 series switch? A: To enable port mirroring on a Zyxel GS1200 series switch, access the web management interface of the switch. Navigate to the 'Mirroring' page. Here, select the Monitor Port and the Mirrored Port(s). Save the configuration to activate port mirroring. For…

How to Configure Port Mirroring on Zyxel GS1200 Series Web Managed Switch
Feature Introduction: Port Mirroring is a feature on network switches that enables the duplication of network packets seen on one port to another port, where the packets can be analyzed. This is beneficial for network troubleshooting and monitoring, allowing network administrators to use a network analyzer to monitor…

Tutorial of Switch Link Aggregation (V4.80)
Introduction Link Aggregation is a feature that aggregates physical ports of a switch into a logical link, allowing it to accommodate more transmission traffic. Despite bundling multiple physical ports, the upper limit of transmission speed remains unchanged, as packets are still transmitted through a single route. A…

Should I enable VLAN trunking and ingress check on a port at the same time?
Ingress check is used to allow the packets from the VLAN that the port belongs to only. It is normally enabled on the access ports rather than the ports connecting with switches and router/firewall. And since VLAN trunking is normally enabled on the ports connecting with switches and router/firewall, VLAN trunking and…
-
What will happen if a port enable ingress checking and VLAN trunking?
When a port enables ingress checking and VLAN trunking, the ingress checking will not work. This is because the VLAN trunking has a higher priority. Blew is an example. The port 1 enables ingress check and VLAN trunking, and the switch does not have VLAN 100. However, the switch can still forward the packets from unknown…
-
why didn't link aggregation reach a 2g transmit speed when combining two 1g ports?
Setting up link aggregation on the switch such as combining ports 3 and 4, does increase overall bandwidth between devices. besides, the LAG (Link Aggregation Group) algorithm plays a key role in how this bandwidth is utilized. This algorithm distributes data flows across the aggregated links based on criteria like source…

Setting up a scheduled PoE function
This guide provides instructions on how to program a schedule for enabling or disabling the PoE (Power over Ethernet) function on specific ports of your GS1900 HP switch. Step-by-Step Guide: Creating a Time Schedule: Access the Switch's Web GUI. Navigate to SYSTEM > Time Range > Add/Edit. Set up the desired schedule for…

Understanding VLAN Trunking
VLAN Trunking, conforming to the 802.1q standard, allows a switch to handle and pass through frames from VLANs that are not configured on it. Normally, a switch discards frames from unknown VLANs, but VLAN Trunking overcomes this limitation, enabling easier configuration and better network flexibility. Setting Up VLAN…

How to configure the switch to separate traffic between departments using VLAN? (V4.80 version)
The example shows administrators how to set up the switch to make separate traffic between departments. Using Static VLAN, hosts accessing the same VLAN will only be able to communicate with hosts accessing the same VLAN. Note: All network IP addresses and subnet masks are used as examples in this article. Please replace…

If I want BPDU flooding to other ports, which BPDU Ctrl option should I use?
Please use the “tunnel” option. The switch will not process the BPDU packets and will forward/flood to other ports.
-
Which BPDU Ctrl option should I use?
Please reference the behavior explanation below Peer: The switch will process the BPDU when received on this port, and it won't be forwarded/flooded to other ports. Tunnel: The switch won't process the BPDU when received on this port. It will be forwarded/flooded to other ports. Discard: The switch will drop any BPDU when…

Why BPDU Ctrl seems like not working?
Please make sure you have enabled Bridge Control Protocol Transparency in SYSTEM > Switch Setup.

Do I need to set up static route rule for VLAN routing?
No, you don’t need to set up a static route rule. Zyxel layer 3 switches will create a static route rule automatically when you set up an IP address for your VLAN interface. For the VLAN routing configuration, please reference: How to configure the switch to route traffic across VLANs — Zyxel Community

How should I configure for BPDU flooding? I need this function for my Sonos Network
Scenario Sonos network is recommended that the management switch needs to set BPDU flooding. This FAQ will guide you to set BPDU flooding on the Zyxel switch. Before setup, please check if your Zyxel switch supports Bridge Control Protocol Transparency. Topology Assume the Sonos speakers are connected to switch ports 1, 3,…
