Hmmm, so if there is anything at all that can be configured, then it is a 
managed switch.  I guess that makes sense.  I always presumed that it 
guaranteed VLAN abilities.

It’s a blurry line but I would say if the switch has a management interface 
it’s a managed switch.   From there it’s a crap shoot as to what features the 
switch has.

  A non managed switch is just a switch.  A step up from a hub in that each 
port has exclusive ability to connect to any of the other ports without 
interfering with traffic on uninvolved ports.  

  A managed switch can do VLANs and QOS and other fun things.  

  Right?

  But this morning I am running into an “unmanaged” switch that can do QOS and 
other things.  
  Where is the dividing line between managed and unmanaged.
