QuickView: NETGEAR GS108 ProSafe 8 Port Gigabit Desktop Switch
Since the GS108 is an unmanaged switch, there's not much more to say about it, so I'll cut right to the testing. I tested using two systems running WinXP SP2 - one an Athlon 64 3000+ w/ 512 MB, the other a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 w/ 504 MB.
Pros:
- ? Gigabit Ethernet with Jumbo Frame support for not a lot of
Cons:
- ? Hard to tell if you're buying Jumbo Frame capable product

NETGEAR GS108PE, or a smart eight port gigabit ethernet switch with PoE
What if it's too expensive to buy a manageable switch but it's still necessary to separate telephony from other traffic in a small office? Usually it's typical to use smart switches that allow gaining control over the network with only a slight increase in the price of equipment.
Pros:
- Management simplicity
- The presence of a cable tester
- Protection against loops and broadcast storms
- Traffic QoS support
- Virtual networks support
- Moderate size
- Protection against simple DoS-attacks
- Affordable price
- Lifetime warranty from the vendor
Cons:
- The impossibility of connecting four PoE clients with maximum power consumption simultaneously
- The absence of the Russian language in the interface of the management utility
- The impossibility of turning the switch port on or off
- setting its speed and duplex manually and to disable protection
