Powerful Compact Design for Small Workgroup Environment
The ES-2108 Managed Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Switch series is designed for small workgroup environment. Thanks to its compact 8-port design and selections of uplink options (1000Base-T, SFP, 100FX), the ES-2108 series offers functionality and connectivity that best fit your network needs. In addition, the wall-mountable design adds flexibility of deployment.

The ES-2108 series comes in four models: ES-2108, ES-2108-G, ES-2108-LC and ES-2108PWR. All switches come with a non-blocking 5.6 Gbps switching architecture for wire-speed transmission. The ES-2108 has 8 10/100Base-T ports without the uplink interface. The ES-2108-G comes with one dual personality Gigabit uplink port. Designed for current 100FX deployment, the ES-2108-LC comes with one independent 1 100FX port and one SFP slot to offer network bridging over the fiber connection with future hardware upgrade. In addition to having all the features in ES-2108-G, ES-2108PWR includes the PoE (Power over Ethernet) feature to supply power to devices connected to the 8 PoE ports simultaneously.

Excellent Network Management Capability
The ZyXEL ES-2108 series includes various management tools to streamline your management effort. With ZyXEL's exclusive iStacking™ technology, you can manage up to 24 ZyXEL switches through one IP address..

The ES-2108 series also includes device-aware security features (MAC address, like MAC filtering, MAC freezing and MAC forwarding) to effectively prevent access of unidentified devices. All these features offer extra protection on the network edge.

Traffic Prioritization for Multi-Services
With 4 priority queues and WRR scheduling mechanism, ZyXEL's ES-2108 series is able to perform traffic prioritizing for multi-service applications. You can also customize DSCP settings to provide an end-to-end QoS environment. In addition, you can enable IGMP snooping to optimize service quality for IP multicasting applications. For bandwidth management, the ES-2108 series supports bandwidth increment of 64Kbps to give different bandwidth allocations.
