Do GS2220 series manage static routing?

Feco

I'd like to set up intervlan routings on my home network. GS2220 series labeled as "L2+" switch but I'm not capable to recognise this feature on the long feature list published on:

https://www.zyxel.com/hu/hu/products/switch/10-28-50-port-gbe-l2-managed-switch-gs2220-series/features.

Browsing through several articles L2+ usually contains this feature. What about GS2220?

Thank you!

Hi @Feco ,

The GS2220 series is an L2 switch and does not support L3 routing features.

The GS2220 switch just has the Static Routing feature that allows for IP static routing by Layer-2 switches. This ensures the switch can respond to management stations not reachable via the default gateway and proactively send traffic, such as SNMP traps or during IP connectivity tests using ping. This feature on the GS2220 switch is different from Layer-3 switches, which use static routes to forward traffic via gateways other than the default gateway.

To enable communication between your VLANs, you'll need to set up routing on an L3 switch or configure a security policy rule on your router within your network.

You can explore our L3 switch options here:  https://www.zyxel.com/global/en/products/switch , or check out our firewall offerings here:

Some switches I know support static routing as L2+ but I have never been sure with Zyxel about this I know I have a L2 GS2210 switch that does not support what your looking for.

Setup would be like
192.168.1.2 > 1.1.1.1 gateway 192.168.1.254 to switch gateway on switch to 192.168.1.1 to forward 1.1.1.1 to USG
