NETGEAR 10 Port 10 GB Switch, Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Switch (GS110MX) with 8 x 1G, 2 x 10G, Desktop/Rackmount, and ProSAFE Lifetime Protection, Black, Grey

Product Information

These include adding more users. Even basic server BMCs with IPMI one has multiple directory services integrations and can minimally add new users. Netgear GS110EMX Management Dashboard And here's the side of the Netgear GS110EMX switch. There's nothing of note here other than the mounting holes. It is unclear what the problem is, perhaps the switching tables are getting full and causing the switch to crash. Or maybe it does not have enough ram. Either way I do not trust this switch as part of critical infrastructure anymore. The point is you will need a new power adapter if you want to use this switch in the EU or Asia and other parts of the world -- or you will fry the hardware. Since I travel a lot, I find Netgear's decision on this front is quite bothersome. FullName Advanced QoS (Quality of Service) for traffic prioritisation including port-based and 802.1p/DSCP-based

System: Host: nas Kernel: 4.15.0-42-generic x86_64 (64 bit) Console: tty 3 Distro: Ubuntu 16.04 xenial Mind you, this isn't the first time they closed the case. The first time I opened a case for this switch, the person asked me to do some troubleshooting steps. I did. They closed that case without responding. So then I opened a new case which then led to the above. Cons: Gets very hot. This is the hottest switch I've ever owned. I have a 5 port 2.5Gbe Unmanaged switch which stays much cooler than this one. The side with the 10Gbe ports gets very hot. I actually have a small case fan pointed at the switch. It's under a desk so I was able to do that. I don't know if it's fine and all within normal operating spec. Advanced QoS (Quality of Service) for traffic prioritization including port-based and 802.1p/DSCP-basedThe network card in the desktop is Asus XG-C100C. All tests were run from the nas with the desktop acting as an iperf server. For the test the 10G interface is .239, the 1G interface is .198. If the 10G interface was being tested the 1G interface was disabled and vice versa. I used 6FT cat 6 cables into the uplink ports Inside the switch, we find two big heatsinks. A smaller heatsink is located next to the 1GbE ports while the larger heatsink is found next to the 10Gbase-T ports. The switch itself has no moving parts and is passively cooled. That makes the switch silent as well as increasing reliability and lowering power consumption. Netgear GS110MX Internal As such, it's a well-made device. It's compact, and quiet with excellent Gigabit performance in my testing. There's also a great set of networking features, and the lifetime hardware guarantee is hard to beat. Each port automatically detects which speed is needed by the connected device and provides the adequate speed. As opposed to regular 10-Gigabit switches that will only provide 1-Gigabit connectivity to any device that require less than 10-Gigabit, the XS505M or XS508M give the exact speed required, no downgrade. Also, the new NETGEAR 5-speed switch ports can be connected with regular Cat5E Ethernet cables, without the need to upgrade to Cat6 wiring, therefore reducing wiring costs and hassle Why the NETGEAR 10-Gig/Multi-Gig Switches are ideal for SMB?

I used the Netgear GS110EMS for more than a week, and the switch worked well. I had no issue with it at all. It was silent though it did get a bit warm during heavy loads -- not to the point I'd be concerned. As for a genuine 10Gbps connection, the GS110EMX was fast, but it was farther south of 10,000Mbps than most other switches I've tested -- so far, none could deliver real 10,000Mbps.

Netgear GS110MX Overview

The switch certainly has more features than its unmanaged counterpart. A big one here is the ability to set port-based VLANs. Still, this is a far cry from some of the more feature-rich options that we see in this space including the similarly priced, and higher-port count MikroTik CRS326-24G-2S+RM Switch. Netgear GS110EMX Performance

It's worth noting that the switch comes with a 110V-only power adapter. Specifically, the adapter can take power input of up to 120V. This is the first time I've seen an electronic that doesn't support world power output, ranging from 110V to 240V. The Netgear GS110EMX's included power adapter can handle power up to 120V, making it unusable outside America. Cat 5/ Cat 5e are supported for Gigabit speeds and Multi-Gigabit (2.5G, 5G) speeds up to 100 metres

Netgear GS110MX Performance and Management

This switch absolutely sips power. Even at the maximum power consumption on the datasheet, it is still only 1.56W/ port or 3.59Gbps per Watt under maximum load. Adding the management function did hurt these numbers, however only slightly so.
