NETGEAR GS108T 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch
The NETGEAR® family of Gigabit Smart Switches is purposely designed for SMB customers with high performance, SMB oriented features and easy management. With 8 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, each capable of powering 2000 Mbps of data throughput in full-duplex mode per port, the GS108T is an ideal solution for extending network connections into conference room, labs, lobbies and department workgroups. It enables SMB networks to support Voice over IP (VoIP), streaming media, multicasting, security, and many other bandwidth-intensive applications like ERP and large file transfers.
The GS108T comes with a comprehensive set of L2 features, such as access control lists (ACL), 802.1x port authentication (MD5), enhanced QoS, rate limiting and IGMP snooping among others to provide a small or medium-sized business with a network that is geared for growth while ensuring performance and reliability. In addition, the Port 1 of GS108T is a PD port. It can not only obtain its power from an external AC power adapter as any other switch does, but also from a PoE source to pass the power through. This gives an SMB flexibility when installing the switch in places where a power outlet is not present.
The GS108T comes with both an intuitive Web-browser GUI interface and Smart Control Center (Windows PC required), which offer simple Smart Switch management, making it a snap to monitor switch performance, configure ports, even set up port trunks, VLANs, and traffic prioritization. Alternatively, you can use SNMP-based software to manage your Smart Switch. NETGEAR Smart Switches are ideal for adding basic management to your unmanaged networks or extending your managed networks.
