1.1.1 Ma na g e me nt Me tho d
With its built-in Web Configurator, managing and configuring the Switch is easy. In addition, the Switch
can also be managed through Telnet, any terminal emulator program using the Command Line
Interface (CLI), or third-party SNMP management.
1.1.2 Ma na g e me nt Mode s
NebulaFlex means you can set the Switch to operate in either standalone or cloud mode (but not both
at the same time).
Use the Web Configurator to configure and manage the Switch directly in standalone mode or use
Nebula Control Center (NCC) to configure and manage the Switch in cloud mode. The Nebula Control
Center (NCC) is an alternative cloud-based network management system that allows you to remotely
manage and monitor the Switch. You may also access a minimized version of the Web Configurator in
cloud mode.
Ne bula C lo ud Ma na g e m e nt
To have Nebula manage the Switch, you must first register it at the Nebula web portal at https://
nebula.zyxel.com, and ensure that Ne bula C ontro l C e nte r Disc o ve ry is enabled in Ba sic Se tting > Clo ud
Ma na g e m e nt > Ne bula Co ntro l C e nte r Disc ove ry in the Switch Web Configurator.
Note: See the Switch’s datasheet for the feature differences between standalone and
Nebula cloud management modes. You can find the Switch’s datasheet at the Zyxel
website.
See the NCC (Nebula Control Center) User’s Guide for how to configure the Switch using Nebula.
