Highlights
Power up Your Small Network with Gigabit Speeds
The NETGEAR® family of ProSAFE® 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 features, such as access control
lists (ACL), 802.1x port authentication, 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 an intuitive, Web-browser interface which oer simple
Smart 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 Switch.
NETGEAR ProSafe Smart Switches are ideal for adding basic management to your
unmanaged networks or extending your managed networks.
