The ZyXEL LAN Switch MS-7206 is an intelligent, multilayer modular LAN switch designed for
enterprise environments that require always-on availability for mission critical applications
with the highest degree of performance, QoS, strict security and granular bandwidth control.
The ZyXEL MS-7206 comes with a 6-slot chassis in which two slots are reserved for
redundant managed switch fabrics and four are available for intelligent switching I/O
modules to support up to 192 Gigabit ports. With dual active-active switch fabrics, hot
swappable I/O modules and redundant power supplies the ZyXEL MS-7206 provides a robust
architecture that fulfills the needs of businesses for zero tolerance networking.
Key Benefits
Flexible Architecture for Easy Network Deployment & Expansion
To match the growth expectation of an enterprise a network infrastructure needs more flexibility to
fulfill possible expansion requirements and new applications in the future. To upgrade or replace this
critical core of enterprise network the cost is considerably higher than other system elements.
ZyXEL MS-7206 Switch provides 6 open slots, including two redundant managed slots and four I/O
slots that give enterprise sufficient flexibility to deploy their network. With a maximum of 384G non-
blocking switching capacity and up to 192 full-power GbE PoE ports, ZyXEL MS-7206 Switch can
easily satisfy any bandwidth-hungry needs and tomorrow’s next-generation multi-service
applications.
10 Gigabit Backplane Interface
Driven by high-bandwidth converged services such as teleconferencing, video, surveillance, storage
and system backup enterprises need non blocking architecture to deal with the increasing demands
of traffic on the network. The ZyXEL MS-7206 Switch supports up to four 10G interface I/O modules
(MI-7526F) providing up to 8 10G interfaces. This means that enterprises can easily connect the
network core to high-bandwidth applications such as servers in the data center or directly distribute
10G connectivity as uplinks to other switches in the enterprise network.
Extremely Low Latency and Zero-Loss Performance Ensure Network Efficiency
ZyXEL MS-7206 Switch offers proven performance on delivering 100% zero-loss
throughput with extremely low latency. According to independent tests conducted by
The Tolly Group, the MS-7206 shows extremely low latency 5.6 to 15 microseconds
while conducting 99% load across
192 GbE ports on Layer-2 or Layer-3
traffics. These astounding outcomes
show that the MS-7206 has
outstanding performance for
enterprises to perform real-time
applications such as voice and video
without any noticeable delay.
