network switch

These results show standard Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps), multi-gig support (2.5 Gbps / 2500 Mbps) on some ports, and 10-Gigabit uplinks on certain managed models.

PoE+ configurations in the results include 8, 24, and 48 PoE+ ports. Reported total PoE budgets include 65W (8-port compact PoE model), 193W (24-port), and 370W (48-port).

The selection includes unmanaged desktop switches, web-smart (smart-managed) models, and fully managed small-office switches. Common Layer 2 / Layer 2+ features among smart/managed devices are VLAN support, QoS, bandwidth control, port mirroring, link aggregation (LACP), spanning tree, IGMP snooping, static routing, IPv6 management, and port-based 802.1X/RADIUS authentication.

Managed and web-smart switches list security features such as Access Control Lists (ACLs), 802.1X port-based (RADIUS) authentication, ARP spoofing prevention, and DHCP server screening. Some also offer a surveillance mode with ONVIF support to detect and optimize IP video devices, plus vendor safeguards against traffic flooding.
