Ruckus ZoneSwitch 4000 Series

Ruckus ZoneSwitch 4000 Overview:

Fully Managed Power over Ethernet Layer 2 Gigabit Smart Switches

Enterprises can easily and affordably build high-speed Ruckus ZoneFlex 802.11n wireless networks that deliver wire-like reliability and consistent performance at range, which drives the need for fully-managed, rack-mountable, Layer 2, 24-port 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet POE switches. The ZoneSwitch 4000 series are cost effective solutions ideal for enterprise deployment at the edge of the network. Completely interoperable with Ruckus ZoneFlex APs, the 4224 supports 24 concurrent IEEE 802.3at connections across all ports. The ZoneSwitch 4124 supports 24 concurrent IEEE 802.3af connections.

The Ruckus Wireless ZoneSwitch 4000 series is a family of fully managed, Power over Ethernet (POE), 24-port Gigabit Layer 2 LAN switches specifically designed for the packet processing needs of connecting ZoneFlex Smart Wi-Fi access points to the enterprise network infrastructure. The ZoneSwitch 4000s feature advanced scalability, wire-speed Layer 2 switching, mobility, quality of service (QoS), security, and ease of management.

The ZoneSwitch 4224 supports 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports of 802.3at POE providing up to 30W per port (375W total budget). The ZoneSwitch 4124 supports 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports of 802.af POE providing up to 15W per port (180W total budget). Of the 24 Gigabit LAN ports, four ports are dual personality supporting 1000BASE-SX and LX Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) fi ber transceivers for easy and fl exible uplinks.

Enterprises can easily and affordably build high-speed Ruckus ZoneFlex 802.11n wireless networks that deliver wire-like reliability and consistent performance at range, which drives the need for fully managed POE Gigabit Layer 2 LAN Switches. The ZoneSwitch 4000 series are cost effective solutions ideal for enterprise deployment at the edge of the network.

The ZoneFlex Smart Wi-Fi 802.11n access points are purposebuilt for hotels, schools and enterprises by enabling highdefi nition IPTV, video-on-demand and other video applications while supporting data applications for guests and employees.

The ZoneSwitch 4000 supports up to 256 VLANs and dynamic VLANs with GVRP for separating type of traffi c for seamless mobility.

Built-in support for advanced QoS capabilities including 802.1p base priority, port based priority, DSCP (Diffserv), TOS (IP Precedence) and IGMP snooping provide real-time voice and video functions.

The ZoneSwitch 4000 easily integrates with existing 802.1X and RADIUS security and authentication infrastructure, and combines network management with SNMP, Telnet, and TACACS + within a low-cost solution.
