MS108EUP

This switch has been steadily adding another layer of security for my home network for months(?), maybe a year. Works with my Firewalla Gold Pro ecosystem for port-based-segmentation easily.

Excellent product—reliable, stable, high-quality, and highly recommended.

Gets warm when under full load but nice piece of gear.

Upgraded a segment of my LAN to 2.5GB speed and needed a managed switch.. Switch works fine, is PoE but I'm not using it for PoE currently. Just for a couple of VLAN's I run. I have a GS108PEv3 that I use for PoE cameras in my attic. The only reason I mention the GS108 switch is that it is also managed and VLAN's are a snap to set up and fairly intuitive if you've worked around them. This MS108EUP management console has an attractive interface but the VLAN setup is just not intuitive at all and PVID settings are in a weird place. Ultimately I got it set up and it didn't take too long but it is a real head scratcher. Also mine needed a firmware update out of the box as well. Actually seemed to be a couple versions or more behind. Netgear makes decent managed switches but the cost for PoE, Managed, and 2.5GB is kind of crazy for an 8 port switch and of course one port gets lost just hooking it to the network, so I call it a 7 port switch. It works, and it works fine but for the cost there should be a couple more ports. Last thing.....you get 4 60 watt PoE ports. That = 240 watts. You get 4 30 watt ports. That = 120 watts. That is 360 watts total. The actual budget for the switch is 230 watts total so you certainly can't max the switch out. If using for PoE just crunch your numbers first before buying. I'm happy with the switch but in my mind it is a $180 switch, not a $250 switch.

Arrived undamaged and as described

I had trouble with this switch initially but now works great after firmware update. POE, VLAN work perfectly with multigig support. Switch is small but power pack is big (needed for poe feature so be aware of sizing)

Bought two of these and they powered POE cameras and within the first week of using them the power supplies failed. I was not overloading the output of the ports by any means. Move on to something else if you can.

Others have mentioned that the power supply is almost as big as the switch itself (and weighs more also). That is the literal situation here. Also the power supply is very sensitive to heat. I keep the house at 73F. If you unplug it, and it feels at all warm, the blue light on the power supply will not turn on. You have to put it in front of a fan to cool it down (and probably keep it cool). Also there's no SNMP, which is disappointing. It does do VLANs, but having worked with dell and cisco switches, I just had to go for the most advanced mode (Advanced 802.1Q VLAN), then I was able to make it work.

Works great for my home network. I just need a switch that can configure vlan and support 2.5gbe this works perfectly. Plus, it has POE and POE+. There are not many cheap options on the market but I got it with heavy discount from Amazon Warehouse. Really nice

I instralled and configured it in no time despite never setting a managed switch before. It was quite easy.
