Alrighty. . . let's see. . . If you only have a handful of IP Phones, then perhapsthe static IP method that you mentioned might be easierthan trying to mess with DHCP options, etc. Let's assume that you're NOT going to use DHCP;that you're going to keep your static IP settings on your NEC phones for the moment. We haven't…

Let's see. . . 3.) Voice signalling policy - This was needed for Mitel IP phones. I don't know if your IP phones need that functionality or not. In layman's terms, Mitel uses DSCP 46 / PRI 6 to prioritize voice data across the network, and uses DSCP 26 / PRI 3 for lower-priority traffic across the network, such as chatter…

Here's exactly how I have our switch set up - Our router handles both of our VLANS - Let's say VLAN1 is 192.168.1.1/24 for computers.And VLAN2 is 192.168.2.1/24 for phones. We have TWO DCHP servers set up on the router,one for the 192.168.1.x subnet the other for the 192.168.2.x subnet We have our LAN port on the router…

With this type of setup, don't mess with your PVID settings. ************************************************** Keep VLAN1 as Untagged, and PVID1for all of your ports on your Zywall, GS1920,and your Access Point.************************************************** What this will do is essentially cause (most) anythingplugged…

Which LAN port on the VR2800 are you using with the Zyxel switches?If you're using LAN4, try moving the Zyxel switch over to LAN2 or LAN3, and see if the problem still persists.

The GS1900 series lets you have TWO copies of firmwareuploaded to the switch at any given time. An "Active" copy of the firmware,and a "Backup" copy of the firmware. By default, the firmware upload pagesaves newly updated firmware as the "Backup" copy. You have to go to the firmware management tabto make the newly uploaded…

Yes. Log into the web interface of your GS1900 switch. On the menu of the left, click on CONFIGURATIONThen click on PORTThen click on POE This will take you to the POE Global View page. Make sure that "Consumption" is selected, and then, up and to the right, click on the word "Port". You will then be able to see how many…

Just for grins. . . go back into your router, and try using ports OTHER than 80 / 443for your trigger ports. . . For example, try using Port 8080 as your trigger port,while keeping port 80 as your destination port. Then try accessing your server remotely using http://<address>:8080

In my opinion, the GS1200 series of switches are essentially SOHO devices,as evidenced by the $25 price tag for the GS1200-5 on Amazon and other sites. If you have reason to be concerned about the default VLAN, or the management VLAN on your switches, then it's probablynot a good idea to invest in switches that are on the…

It looks like the GS1200-5 and the older GS1200-5HPhaven't been updated to support custom management VLANS. The GS1200 series is, in my opinion, a SOHO switch.I would be surprised if Zyxel added additional functionalityto a switch that currently sells for $25 USD. If you're in an SMB environment, the 1900 series (or…

10gbe SFP adapters aren't all that expensive. . . I've seen some in the $40 range. I tend to shy away from unmanaged switches, even at home,so to me, the XGS1210-10 is the better value. It would be nice if Zyxel offered a straight copper version of these switches. As much as I despise Netgear these days,they also offer an…

The C1100z offers 802.11n wifi, which uses only the 2.4 Ghz bandfor sending / receiving data. It supports two streams of 150 Mbpsfor a (theoretical) data rate of up to 300 Mbps. The C3000z offers 802.11ac, which has both the slower 2.4 Ghz bandfor compatibility with older devices, as well as the faster 5.0 Ghz band for…

I forgot to mention - Make sure you try each of the methods - http://192.168.1.1- and -https://192.168.1.1 (I have two different Zyxel switches at home, and, by default, one responds only via http:, and the other responds only via https:)

The XGS series is a business-class switch,so you might want to create future postingsin the Zyxel business forums. Everything you should need can be foundin the user guide, but I can give you the basics. 1.) Power down the switch. 2.) Disconnect any/all network cables from the switch. 3.) Power up the switch, and wait a…

Let's just deal with port 1 and port 8 . . . Port 8 VLAN3 PVID 3 (Untagged) Port 1 VLAN1 PVID 1 (Untagged) VLAN3 Tagged That should work. If you're not getting internet, I'd suspect the router settings. The port on your router must have similar settings as your Port 1 settings. i.e., your router must be set for VLAN1…
