Do our switches support this? #justwondering

Kinshuk_Tech

Hi there,
Recently, I faced this issue with one of my clients, who is a large ISP here in India.
They claimed that their Huawei switches have more features than others.

Putting two and two together, it became to large debate, and I was the chosen one to lead an investigation over the features offered by zyxel switches.
I was surprised upon this one feature offered by Huawei. [e-Trunk in Ethernet Switching] 
I know, LACP feature is widely supported by our switches, but do we offer anything around this?

Another feature, was about ERPS G.8032 support, i guess it is ethernet ring protection. but couldn't find any specifics in multiple datasheets.
 
Can someone guide me on this? which zyxel switch models offer these feature?

Regards

Hi @Kinshuk_Tech,

Zyxel switch does not support these two features.

Could you share which Huawei switch and Zyxel switch were you comparing?

And what's your goal? Is it for redundancy?

Hi @Kinshuk_Tech,

It's been a while do not receive your feedback. Is there still a problem?
I want to point out that these two features (e-trunk & ERPS G.8032) are typically utilized in the data center network. 
Since the Zyxel switches are normally used in business networks, we can use VRRP and RSTP instead.
