Supports ZyXEL iStacking^TM (datasheet) technology reduce management effort

ZyXEL iStacking^TM is a Web-based management software, which allows an administrator to remotely manage multiple switches located in different areas. With ZyXEL iStacking^TM technology already embedded in a Dimension switch, an administrator can configure, monitor, troubleshoot and manage up to 24 Dimension switches at once with only one single IP, regardless of the physical location.

Compared to traditional stacking technology, ZyXEL iStacking^TM is more efficient and flexible, and saves cost as well as administrator effort. Traditional stacking requires switches to be in the same closet and requires additional stacking module hardware, thus taking lots of time and effort to configure and manage. ZyXEL iStacking^TM is not limited to a single stack of switches and expands the traditional cluster domain beyond a single location. Administrators can remotely and centrally manage Dimension switches with minimal effort.
