Business-class Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Switch with Access Control List (ACL) Advanced access control features for user data protection Avoiding subscribers from affecting each other on a shared network or device is a major concern for SMB networks. The ZyXEL ES3500 Series offers a complete set of security features to protect user data while administrating network traffic. It features port security, 802.1X authentication and RADIUS accounting to prevent unauthorized access and provide powerful access control for converged networks. The ES3500 Series features a multilayer (L2/L3/L4) ACL suite of sophisticated policy-based control mechanisms, which can be used to help SMBs prevent abnormal or illegal access. Policies can be defined via a GUI or CLI to deny packets based on source and destination MAC addresses, IP addresses or TCP/UDP ports. Dual-speed SFP uplinks for reliable connections in distributed deployments The ES3500 Series is an ideal solution for SMBs that need to establish a converged network across long distances or multiple floors. It supports dual-speed (100/1000 Mbps) SFP uplinks, providing more options in establishing fast and reliable connections in distributed and long distance deployments. Supporting Digital Diagnostics Monitoring Interface (DDMI), the ES3500 Series allows administrators to easily detect packet loss from transceivers and aging cables to avoid unstable network service, lower maintenance overhead and boost business productivity.
