Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between this unmanaged switch and a managed switch?
An unmanaged switch like the GS108-400NAS is plug-and-play and requires no configuration, making it simple to deploy. A managed switch offers advanced features like VLANs, QoS configuration, and port mirroring for greater network control, but requires IT expertise to set up and maintain.
Can this switch be mounted on a wall?
Yes, the Netgear ProSafe GS108-400NAS is designed with a wall-mountable metal case, offering flexible deployment options in business environments.
Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, the Netgear ProSafe GS108-400NAS does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE). It requires a separate power adapter for each connected device that needs power.
What is the switching capacity of this device?
The Netgear ProSafe GS108-400NAS has a switching capacity of 16 Gbps, which is the maximum data rate it can handle across all its ports simultaneously.
