Simply Reliable, Just No Downtime
With business rolling every minute, a business network cannot afford any unexpected stops. ZyXEL’s XS3700-24 is born to deliver “no single point of failure” (NSPOF), a user experience that is based on built-in redundancy features. The power and fan modules are hot-swappable and interchangeable with other 3700 Series switch models. In addition, it has back-to-front air flow holes for better heat dissipation, and it also supports Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) software function and dual image feature, thereby ensuring your network is always on, even during maintenance or troubleshooting.
Hassle-Free Network Management
While delivering unmatched resilience and non-blocking performance, ZyXEL’s XS3700-24 gives users more simplicity in use. The command line interface of the XS3700-24 allows it to configure multiple switches and is consistent with ZyXEL’s managed switches. Coupling it with ZyXEL One Network, users can utilize ZyXEL’s ZON Utility to check locations, assign IPs, reboot, and perform firmware upgrades on multiple switches, all from a single platform.
Plus the Smart Connect function of ZyXEL One Network which enables XS3700-24 to auto-discover all ZyXEL devices on the network and most devices that supporting Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), users can see and manage all the devices on the network through a simple click on the displayed devices, alleviating users from manning network devices one after another and simplifying the network management process.
