Highlights
Power up Your Small Network with Gigabit Speeds
The NETGEAR® family of ProSAFE® Gigabit Smart Managed 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 GS108T supports IEEE 802.3af standard for Power over Ethernet
(PoE). It can obtain its power from either a PoE source or from an external AC
power adapter. 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 oer simple Smart Managed
Switch management, making it a snap to monitor switch performance, configure
ports, even set up port trunks, VLANs, and trac prioritization. Alternatively,
you can use SNMP-based soware to manage your Smart Managed Switch.
NETGEAR ProSafe Smart Managed Switches are ideal for adding basic
management to your unmanaged networks or extending your managed networks.
