rtl83xx-switch switch@1b000000 lan10 (uninitialized): PHY [mdio-bus:19] driver [Aquantia AQR113C] (irq=POLL)

https://www.zyxel.com/products_services/12-Port-Web-Managed-Multi-Gigabit-Switch-includes-3-Port-10G-and-1-Port-10G-SFP--XGS1250-12/rtl83xx-switch switch@1b000000 lan7 (uninitialized): PHY [mdio-bus:07] driver [REALTEK RTL8218D] (irq=POLL) Sure, it's still much more expensive than Gigabit switches of the same amount of ports, which go for as low as one-tenth of the cost. But that's the price you pay to get ahead of the curve right now. Or you can wait another decade or so, and this type of switch will be a dime a dozen. The Zyxel XGS1250-12 is a 12-port switch and looks like a typical switch, though you'll be surprised how compact it is. First, it delivers up to 10Gbps. This is the current top Multi-Gig ceiling speed -- there's no point in lingering with incremental upgrades via 2.5Gbps or 5Gbps options. Since no motherboard comes with a 10Gbps port, I upgraded each machine with a 10Gbps Base-T adapter card. I used two TP-Link TX401 cads, one ASUS XG-C100C, and one Gigabyte GC-AQC107, which I've been using for general router testing.

Good hour! Help configure two VLAN 1 / VLAN2 on Zyxel XGS1250-12 I have iMac 10G and Synology 5G - connect in VLAN2. The same two devices are connected on the switch (ibid.) And by 1G - VLAN1! If I drive everything into VLAN 1. - the connection goes strange on all ports from 10G to 1G! I would like to divide there are two vertical grids! Keep in mind that some of the features might create conflicts with your router, so unless you know what you're doing, it's a good idea to use the Zyxel XGS1250-12 the way it's pre-programmed and skip the web interface at all. In other words, use it as an unmanaged switch. Zyxel XGS1250-12: Excellent performance If you truly want to enjoy Gigabit Internet (or faster broadband), upgrading your local wired network to Multi-Gig is a must -- there's no way out of it. And in that context, the Zyxel XGS1250-12 Multi-Gigabit Switch is right up to your alley. For two reasons. rtl83xx-switch switch@1b000000 lan5 (uninitialized): PHY [mdio-bus:05] driver [REALTEK RTL8218D] (irq=POLL) By the way, the Zyxel XGS1250-12 is a managed switch. It comes with a web interface where you can manage its features. However, right out of the box, it's pre-programmed to work as an unmanaged. Just plug it in, and it'll work as it's supposed to.rtl83xx-switch switch@1b000000 lan2 (uninitialized): PHY [mdio-bus:02] driver [REALTEK RTL8218D] (irq=POLL) For most home networks, you won't need to use any of these features. However, those who want to customize their network to the max will find them useful, especially the QoS, Virtual LAN, and Link Aggregation.

rtl83xx-switch switch@1b000000 lan8 (uninitialized): PHY [mdio-bus:08] driver [REALTEK RTL8218D] (irq=POLL)On the Zyxel XGS1250-12, like the case of most switches, each network port comes with a color-changing indicator light to show its link status and speed grade. Specifically: Linux version 5.10.92 (1800x@crunchbot) (mips-openwrt-linux-musl-gcc (OpenWrt GCC 11.2.0 r18681+56-5d110c0161) 11.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.37) #0 Mon Jan 31 12:58:24 2022 Again, since this is my first 10Gbps switch review, there's no comparison chart in this part. All I can say is overall I was happy with its performance. Memory: 113356K/131072K available (5146K kernel code, 616K rwdata, 492K rodata, 9928K init, 203K bss, 17716K reserved, 0K cma-reserved)

rtl83xx-switch switch@1b000000 lan6 (uninitialized): PHY [mdio-bus:06] driver [REALTEK RTL8218D] (irq=POLL) This fan doesn't run all the time, by the way, and during my week-long testing, the switch never got hot enough to trigger it -- it did get a little warm.

rtl83xx-switch switch@1b000000 lan1 (uninitialized): PHY [mdio-bus:01] driver [REALTEK RTL8218D] (irq=POLL) Still, fans are never good since they will break at some points. Most Multi-Gig switches of 10 or more ports have a fan, however. And this is where Zyxel's included 5-year warranty for the Zyxel XGS1250-12 really counts.

In the former case, the sustained speed was slightly slower with slightly more fluctuations than the latter. Here are the switch's sustained real-world speeds:
