Write a review for the NETGEAR ProSAFE 24-PORT 10/100 PoE Smart Switch with 4 Gigabit Ports here!
We just started using the Netgear FS728TP switch to run some wireless access points using power of ethernet (PoE). All of the 24 fast ethernet ports support PoE automatically to devices that request it all over standard CAT5 ethernet cabling. You can mix normal devices (PCs/Printers) with PoE devices. The switch supports VLANS so we can separate public and private traffic on the same switch. SNMP support allows remote monitoring of all the important statistics and switch status and the easy to use web interface makes administration really easy with no hard to remember command line stuff.
The switch also supports port trunking, QoS and provides a port monitoring facility for network debugging. A really advanced feature set, great price and easy to use. We love it.
Although this switch does have fan noise, I would have to say that a switch of this class is designed more for cabinet mounting, not desktop use.
This is a switch that is great value for money - it will work right out of the box, providing power over ethernet to devices such as VoIP phones, Webcams, etc whilst also offering a vast array of configuration items for the more advanced user such as SNMP, Qos & VLans.
The build quality is excellent as well - this feels solid and includes rack mounting fixings as well.
Overall, a highly recommended switch
High levels of fan noise with this switch which makes it unsuitable for an office environment.
