Hardware Overview of the Switch
The NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet 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.
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.
