I would be surprised if this device had any firmware at all. It's an unmanaged switch; most of the device's behavior is embedded in the switch IC.

- pabs3 4y agoSo the backdoor is in the switch IC? :)
- oliv3r 4y agoYes they do. I have an ZyXEL XGS1010-12 (unmanaged) and it also runs Linux. The switch chip must be initialized, and the realtek SDK is based on Linux. You could do it with just an eeprom afaik, but seems to be actually more effort (and not possible on all of realtek's switch chips).
