Review on NETGEAR GS108T-200NAS ProSAFE Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch, L2, Lifetime Protection (GS108Tv2), Black, Version 2 by Wayne Drakh

it is better to make the port either trunk or to address it.

I'm giving three stars because it's not Cisco. the configuration is a little strange and difficult to understand, especially if you know cisco ios. This switch allows you to tag a port with multiple VLANs, essentially making it a trunk. Setting up pvid is similar to setting up your own VLAN. but the controls are much more confusing. It's better to either make the port a trunk or access it with a native VLAN and not throw all those confusing variables. it looks like there is no cli but only a web interface. The only good thing about it is that it can be powered via port 1 with poe. so if you need a switch where there is no power, you can power it via poe.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • I'm not happy with everything
