MODEL- GS108T100NAS VENDOR- NETGEAR

FEATURES- 8-Port Gigabit Smart Switch
Joining NETGEAR's family of Gigabit Smart Switches with web-based
management, this 8-port Gigabit switch is high on value and
capability. With 8 10/100/1000 Mbps ports and support for Jumbo
frames, capable of powering 2000 Mbps of data throughput in full-
duplex mode, it is ideal for small offices or extensions and
connects high speed servers or power users. Ideal for combining 10,
100, and 1000 Mbps devices it delivers automatic speed and
full/half-duplex sensing plus Auto Uplink on every port. In
addition, an intuitive web-browser interface offers the simple
Smart Switch management, making it easy to configure ports and set
up port trunks, VLANs and traffic prioritization or monitor switch
performance. Alternatively, use SNMP-based software to manage your
Smart Switch.
The GS108T is equipped with highly advanced features such as Access
Control Lists (ACL), 802.1x port authentication, enhanced QoS, rate
limiting and IGMP Snooping among others to provide a small and
medium-sized business with a network that is geared for growth
while providing scalability and reliability.
Includes 8-port Gigabit Smart Switch (GS108T), Rubber footpads, Power
cord, Wallmount kit, Resource CD, Installation guide,
Warranty/support information card, Category 5 cable.
* Enhanced Security
These switches also provide advanced features that provide more robust
security to the SMBs. These include:
- 802.1x for authentication, with Guest VLAN
- MAC-based port security
* Enhanced Quality of Service
Priority queuing ensures high-priority traffic gets delivered
efficiently, even during congestion from high traffic bursts. Companies
implementing network telephony or video conferencing, for example, need
to be able to prioritize such voice and video traffic and other real-
time applications over less latency-sensitive traffic to ensure
reliability and quality. The ability to prioritize traffic ensures
quality of latency-sensitive services and applications despite
increasing traffic loads. The ProSafe GS108T provides several advanced
QoS features:
- 802.1p based prioritization
- Layer 3-based (DSCP) prioritization
- Rate-limiting
* "Smart" Management Features
Manage all ProSafe Smart Switches as from an easy-to-use Web console
that can be used to configure all features, as well as monitor and
trouble-shoot. These switches also have SNMP (v1, 2c) to collect and
track data to monitor the network health, as well as manage devices, and
more easily enforce critical IT controls and policies. SNMP v2c is most
commonly deployed, as it provides better reporting capabilities than
SNMP v1. In addition, the GS108T also supports standards based 802.1ab:
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP). This feature enables discovery of
other devices in the network that support LLDP. The switch also features
Link Aggregation Group (LAG) which allows trunk groups to be created.
Finally, the GS108T also features 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP)
which is backward compatible with 802.1d Spanning Tree Protocol.
These ProSafe Smart Switches provide world-class reliability with a
Limited Lifetime warranty and optional ProSupport Maintenance Packages.
These switches are optimized for ProSafe Network Management Software
(NMS100) and works with other SNMP-based management software.

"I'm a network engineer used to dealing with datacenter class equipment, so maybe my expectations are skewed...



The switch itself works ok. But this is supposed to be a "managed" switch with SNMP support. I expected to be able to graph the traffic of my switch ports. To my amazement, this switch …"  Read Full Review »
