The Netgear GS108 and GS308 as well as the TP-Link switch simply include the switch itself, power supply, and documentation. While no ethernet cables are included, keep in mind that most people installing a switch already have cables or prefer to make their own. Including one would be handy, though, because too many ethernet cables is never a bad thing. Something to note is that the Netgear GS308 already had the little rubber feet attached from the factory, the Netgear GS108 and TP-Link TL-SG108 don’t have them pre-installed – they come extra in a little baggy. If you’re a really, really lazy person you should probably buy the GS308. Any ideas on the reset switch not appearing to function? Is there another way to trigger the reset?
Random (non-PoE) Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet devices (for examplea LAN port on your router) should be able to establish a link on the PoE ports (Left Speed & Activity port LED) as well as on the non-PoE ports (Right Status Port LED) as per the NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switch with 4-Port PoE GS108PEv3 Installation Gui... . IGMP dynamic router port does not timeout exactly at 300 seconds. It could be anywhere from 300 to 600 seconds. While both Netgear switches use 12V power supplies @ 0.5A, the TP-Link is specced at 9V 0.6A. Personally I prefer the standard 12V setup since it’s easier to find a replacement adapter should the original one fail, and you don’t have to worry about an end user accidentally plugging in a 12V power supply into a 9V switch, which could damage it. If you do the math, 12V x 0.5A = 6W, and 9V x0.6A = 5.4W, so all three switches should be similar in power usage. We shall see later if this really is the case. V2.06.16 has 3 firmware images. Each supports a different language for the WEB GUI: English, German, and Japanese. The supported language is identified by the suffix of image filename: If you cannot ping the switch, your computer may be configured in a different IP network to the switch. Try setting your computer with a static IP in the same IP network as the switch.

A configuration that is obtained from the Plus Utility cannot be used by device UI, and the other way around. Fixes the issue where the settings for the 802.1Q VLAN Advanced function (in the device UI, select VLAN > 802.1Q > Advanced) are missing in the German version. Several weeks ago,I noticed, via my network monitoring software, that the web interface on one of my GS108PEv3 switches had dropped offline. However, the switch appeared to functioning normally otherwise. Ipower-cycled, and no dice. I decided to factory reset. V2.06.10 has 3 firmware images. Each supports a different language for the WEB GUI: English, German, and Japanese.
I opened up the GS108 expecting to see generic electrolytic capacitors like older versions of this switch I’ve opened up in the past, and the other two switches in this roundup. Instead, there weren’t any – at all! Let me reiterate that for you – the most likely component to fail in these switches simply isn’t present – which means that the switch should pretty much last forever.Added a control option to disable or enable file transfer via TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol), under System > Management > Switch Managed Mode). Default is Disable. The IGMP dynamic router port does not timeout exactly at 300 seconds; it varies from 300 to 600 seconds. The most common port of failure in most types of compact fanless network equipment that I’ve observed over the years is the electrolytic capacitors. While all caps will dry out eventually when they pass their rated lifespan, there are three main ways their lifespan is impacted: good design of the circuit, operating temperature, and quality of capacitors used.
The GS108PEv3 does supportIEEE 802.3af (== IEEE 802.3at Type 1) devices only. The max PoE budget is 53W, this allows at least three ports to guarantee the 15.4W Class 0 or Class 3 device. The time-out period of a dynamic IGMP router port is not exactly 300 seconds but could be anywhere between 300 and 600 seconds. The time-out period of an IGMP host is not exactly 260 seconds but could be anywhere between 260 and 520 seconds. I just replaced this switch with another of the same., even though I had a hard time justifying doing so with what I am experiencing.

If you can ping the switch, you may need to upgrade the firmware on the switch. For this you will need to use the ProSAFE Plus Utility on a Windows-based PC. See Method 2 here. Will this work as a "dumb" switch?I don't consider a "yes" answer as a solution, but only as an indication of whether I can use it in this capacity. I bought these particular switches for VLAN and POE functionality. I have them tied to a Cisco 4948, and I want the VLANs. Firmware version 2.06.24 includes three firmware images. Each image supports a different language for the device UI: English, German, or Japanese. The supported language is identified by the suffix of the image filename:
