The Switch is a smart managed switch supporting Multi-Gigabit ports. The Switch provides SFP+ slots for
uplink. By integrating static route functions, the Switch performs wire-speed layer-3 routing in addition to
layer-2 switching.
The Switch supports NebulaFlex for hybrid mode which can set the Switch to operate in either
standalone or Nebula cloud management mode. When the Switch is in standalone mode, it can be
configured and managed by the Web Configurator. When the Switch is in Nebula cloud management
mode, it can be managed and provisioned by the Zyxel Nebula Control Center (NCC).
