Or is it just an error on a spec sheet?
To me "managed" means you can log in and get statistics and change port
settings. VLAN's and QoS and other fun things probably come along too,
but that same stuff might fall under the category of "enterprise switch"
or "small business switch" or other marketing terms.
If it's unmanaged and does QoS that would mean what.....it honors 802.1p
priority values, but doesn't let you define their meanings? It's
possible, but I don't know if I'd want it.

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.
