ES-4024A Series Switch Support Notes

Step 1. Configure a PC’s IP as same subnet of switchA (by default, it’s

192.168.1.1). Login switch’s GUI by

http://switch’s_IP

. Please refer to quick

start quick if you got problem at this step.

Step 2. Setup the switch A’s VLAN info to apply the environment.

By default, ZyXEL switch has all ports with VLAN=1 setting already. We need

to create another VLAN2 for uplink interface. In addition, please notice the “Tx

tagging” setting to be unchecked if uplink device might be VLAN-unaware.

In this example, we assume

1. the ZyWALL which is VLAN-unaware is the uplink gateway, so here we

configure VLAN1 and VLAN2 groups are with Tx tagging “untagged”.

2. the network is very simple and we configure all ports are the member of

both VLAN1 & VLAN2 groups

Note1. Please notice that two IPs in switch A and switch B should be in

different vlan groups. For example:

Switch A: 192.168.1.6 in vlan 1; 192.168.254.2 in vlan 2

Switch B: 192.168.1.5 in vlan 1; 192.168.254.3 in vlan 2

Note2. For VRRP application, you must configure two different VLAN groups for

downlink network and uplink network. Otherwise, it’s not secure that the

authentication will be forwarded under same VLAN group.
