Never again will you want a switch with fewer options

  • Advanced 802.1Q VLAN
  • 9198 MTU
  • LAG link aggregation Switch to switch & switch to PC (X times speed over X connections)

The big difference between this switch and its smaller brothers lies in the LAG capabilities. If you have multiple switches with LAG and computers with Network interfaces that support link aggregation ( intel network cards (internal and external) e.g. or any working card in Vsphere ( ESxi ) or Linux ) you can double your bandwidth, triple and more through multiple cables to connect.

The smallest gs105e is the only model that does not support flow control, the 8 ports and others do. Make sure to disable flow control on ports that have 100mbit cards attached and cards/switches that don't support flow control. At first sight it will work, but after some time you will see performance drops. If you buy new, opt for these 16 ports or at least 8 ports.

The VLAN capabilities of this entire family of switches are fantastic. gs105e gs108e gs116e and the various poe models.. Also full featured standard 802.1Q VLAN, no custom build.
Suppose you have internet with a VDSL provider, you use the interactive services of Telenet, you have a guest network for when visitors come, then you use a separate vlan for each of these. You can then connect your switches with trunks, these switches have access to each of these vlans. You can then set port per port on which network you end up when you connect a device to it. With the necessary OS support, you can also connect a trunk to your device, which then has individual access to the different vlans. You see these as individual network connections. (in linux interfaces eth0.2 eth0.3 eth0.4 etc..)

If 10GBE networks are still a bit too expensive for you, but you still want to create 2 and 3 gigabit networks, this switch is ideal. Due to the fact that you connect your computers and switches with multiple cables at the same time, 16 ports are certainly not too much. Mix & match is no problem either. You can safely connect your file server with 3 cables and the rest of your devices with 1 or 2.

The price is phenomenal for what this switch can do.

In the latest iterations of the firmware (now installed by default with purchase) everything is also configurable via web interface. Linux / BSD / Apple users can now configure everything without needing a Windows computer (although for some troubleshooting scenarios the windows tool can do a little more with detecting the switch)

Images are the configuration screens via prosafe tool and via web.

Connection lost

Bought this switch based on the many positive reviews. Unfortunately I had problems with my first exam sample. This switch installed between Smart TV and Nas, previously no problem with Black Box's 4-port gig switch. When streaming content from the NAS to the TV, I got 'connection lost' messages after hours with the new netgear. Have tested cable connections, tried other cables, after 15 minutes again 'connection lost' and 'could not find server'. Very frustrating! Then I brought out the old switch and the problem was solved. Coolblue gave me a new netgear (same type) very quickly (thanks) but to no avail... after 5 minutes of streaming again 'connection lost'... The problem is known on various forums. Could be due to the use of less friendly 'capacitors'. Prefer a different brand this time.
