Re: [AFMUG] Managed switch

[Bill Prince]

To me an unmanaged switch is just a switch. There are all sorts of levels of managed switches with the really high end ones bordering on router functions. So when I think of managed vs unmanaged, the first question is whether it gets a management IP or not. If it gets an IP, then it's managed. If it doesn't then it's unmamaged. Then we can get into a debate of what level of management. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 3/11/2019 8:55 AM, ch...@wbmfg.com wrote: I thought I knew this but I guess not. 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.
