Features and Benets: Hardware Features
Click Mounting System
The innovative 1-2-3-4 mounting system gives you the exibility to place the Gigabit Ethernet Click Switch
in locations where other switches will not go. Whether it’s directly on a wall, strapped to a pole, under the
meeting table in a conference room or in a server closet, vertical or horizontal, at or perpendicular, the
Gigabit Ethernet Click Switch’s unique mounting system allow you to control exactly how and where your
ports and cables are deployed.
Easy Cable Management
Multi-directional power cable can be routed outwards or to suit most any mounting needs. Ethernet
cables can be strapped to the bracket or mounting surface using the provided retaining strap.
PoE/PoE+ support (GSS108EPP only)
Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE) option available for powering IP Security Cameras, VOIP phones, wireless
access points, and other PD-powered devices.
4 PoE+ ports (47W total) ) allows connection of up to 4 PoE/PoE+ (802.3af and 802.3at) devices and
4 additional non-PoE devices.
USB Charging ports (GSS108E only) The GSS108E features two conveniently placed USB ports for users to charge their smartphones and tablets.
Features and Benets: Software Features
Port-based and 802.1Q-based VLANs Segment network into smaller groups for more secure and efcient use of network resources.
Comprehensive QoS features:
• Port-based or 802.1p-based prioritization
• Layer 3-based (DSCP) prioritization
• Port-based ingress and egress rate limiting
Advanced controls for optimized network performance and better delivery of mission-critical trafc such
as voice and video. Ingress and egress rate limiting allows for bandwidth shaping for mitigating network
resources constraints or for optimizing guest access bandwidth on the network.
IGMP Snooping
For improved network efciency on delivering multicast trafc. Save cost and improve network efciency by
ensuring multicast trafc only reaches designated receivers without the need of an extra multicast router.
Port trunking/Link Aggregation (Static
Manual LAGs) (GSS116E/GSS108EPP only)
Build up bigger bandwidth to support aggregated uplink/downlink trafc or to provide redundant link(s)
using Static Manual LAGs.
Advanced per-port PoE Controls
(GSS108EPP Only)
Advanced per-port PoE controls for remote power management of PoE connected devices (eg. Wireless
AP, IP security cameras, LED lighting, door locks, IoT devices...)
Voice VLAN (GSS108EPP Only)
The feature enables auto assignment of voice trafc (based on OUI) to a special VLAN (AKA Voice VLAN),
allowing the assignment of special QoS parameters to that trafc, and tagging the port automatically,
giving it high priority services. Voice VLAN must be enabled on a per port basis.
Loop detection and auto-DoS
prevention (GSS108EPP and GSS116E only)
Detect accidental network loops and protect against DoS attacks.
Port Mirroring For better and quicker network diagnostics and troubleshooting.
Energy Efcient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) For maximum power savings and reduced energy costs.
Cable Test Easily identify bad Ethernet cables.
Multiple Language GUI**
Product documentation and user interfaces are translated, giving you the ability to select your preferred
language.
Why Click Switches and Why from NETGEAR?
Why the NETGEAR Click Switch is the ideal upgrade from Unmanaged Switches for SMB networks:
1. “Virtually Anywhere” mounting system gets your PoE+ ports where you need them
2. 4-way placement of switch– vertical, horizontal, at or perpendicular
3. 4 PoE+ (802.3at or 802.3af) and 4 non-PoE ports for exible deployment (GSS108EPP only)
4. Fanless silent operation and Energy Efcient Ethernet
5. Limited lifetime* warranty and lifetime support chat
