Hardware Overview of the Switch

The NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switch with 2-Port 10G/Multi-Gig Uplinks Model

GS110EMX, in this manual referred to as the switch, is intended for small and medium-sized business networks

and home offices that require high-speed uplinks. In addition to the eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, the switch

provides two uplink 10-Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit (5-speed) ports that provide either 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps,

5 Gbps or 10 Gbps connectivity.

You can manage the switch over the local browser–based management interface that you can access from a

computer or from a smartphone on which the NETGEAR Insight app is installed.

You can optimize Quality of Service (QoS) and set up prioritization and rate limiting for individual ports. The

switch supports port-based or 802.1Q-based VLANs, IGMP snooping for multicast operation, and link aggregation

for a connection of up to 20 Gbps to link aggregation–enabled devices such as ReadyNAS.
