8-port Gigabit Smart Switch
Power up Your Small Network with
Gigabit Speeds
The NETGEAR® family of Gigabit Smart
Switches is purposely designed for SMB
customers with high performance, SMBoriented features and easy management.
With 8 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, each
capable of powering 2000 Mbps of
data throughput in full-duplex mode
per port, the GS108T is an ideal solution
for extending network connections into
conference room, labs, lobbies and
department workgroups. It enables SMB
networks to support Voice over IP (VoIP),
streaming media, multicasting, security,
and many other bandwidth-intensive
applications like ERP and large le
transfers.
Highlights
Intelligent
• The GS108T provides cost-efcient
solutions that enable SMB customers
to better manage their network.
Included are performance monitoring,
port conguration, VLAN for trafc
control, link aggregation for increased
bandwidth, IGMP snooping for facilitating
multicast applications, and Class of
Service (CoS) for trafc prioritization.
The GS108T comes with a comprehensive
set of L2 features, such as access control
lists (ACL), 802.1x port authentication
(MD5), enhanced QoS, rate limiting and
IGMP snooping among others to provide
a small or medium-sized business with a
network that is geared for growth while
ensuring performance and reliability.
In addition, the Port 1 of GS108T is a PD
port. It can not only obtain its power from
an external AC power adapter as any other
switch does, but also from a PoE source
to pass the power through. This gives an
SMB exibility when installing the switch in
places where a power outlet is not present.
Ideal Advanced Security
• These Gigabit Smart Switches have
advanced features that provide more
robust security to SMBs. These include:
802.1x for authentication (MD5), ACL
ltering to permit or deny trafc based
on MAC or IP addresses single pane-of glass view
Advanced Quality of Service
• Priority queuing ensures that high priority trafc gets delivered
efciently, even during congestion
from high-trafc bursts. Companies
The GS108T comes with both an intuitive
Web-browser GUI interface and Smart
Control Center (Windows PC required),
which offer simple Smart Switch
management, making it a snap to monitor
switch performance, congure ports,
even set up port trunks, VLANs, and trafc
prioritization. Alternatively, you can use
SNMP-based software to manage your
Smart Switch. NETGEAR Smart Switches
are ideal for adding basic management to
your unmanaged networks or extending
your managed networks.
implementing network telephony or
video conferencing, for example, need
to be able to prioritize such voice
and video trafc and other real-time
applications over less latency-sensitive
trafc to ensure reliability and quality.
The ability to prioritize trafc ensures
quality of latency-sensitive services
and applications despite increasing
trafc loads. The Gigabit Smart Switch
provides an extensive set of QoS
features: 802.1p-based prioritization,
Layer 3-based prioritization, Rate
