Before anyone goes out and purchases one of the GS switches from netgear please look at these posts:
http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2016/Jan/77 http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2016/Mar/25 I was also very interested in those switches for the very same reason that Frans is. Honestly, if you are looking for an inexpensive gigabit switch with VLAN capability you want something used... For instance the Dell Powerconnect 5324 can be had on the US ebay for something like $55.00. This is a 24 The only effort you should do is to reflash any switch you purchase with the latest firmware. Which is why I avoid some Cisco products because some of the firmware is paywalled. The eight port variant is a Dell PowerConnect 2808. Just because it is half the size does not mean it is half the price but looking right now on ebay they are around $55. I have used both of these switches. The only limitation I could find on the 2808 is that you cannot change what VLAN the web interface is on, I ended up solving that with a short cable from port to port on the same switch one port the default vlan in Access and with the VLAN that I wanted it on in Access. I do not know if v3 has the same vulnerabilities that are talked about in the links that I provided. They look like serious issues that have not been fixed yet.
