Hello team,

We have 6 Zyxel GS1915 and GS1920 switches that need to be connected to a new xgs1935-28hp. Since we will probably use static routing and since we use Traffic Inspector as our Default Gateway, do we need a real physical router on our network or

xgs1935-28hp would be sufficient?

Thank you.

    Hi @Stevimir,

    The XGS1935 is a light Layer 3 switch that supports routing functions. The switch will automatically create default route rules when you assign an IP address to each VLAN. You can also configure static route rules on it.

    But please note that it is just a switch, it doesn't support any routing protocol or NAT function. If your network is not a closed network, you will still need a router or firewall to route your traffics.
