NETGEAR GS105E ProSAFE 5-Port Desktop Gigabit Switch meets the growing needs of small businesses by providing fundamental network features that will help optimize the performance their networks.

On top of the Plug-n-Play Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, this NETGEAR GS105PE switch also offer essential networking features such as VLAN, QoS, IGMP Snooping, Link Aggregation (LAG), rate limiting and traffic monitoring.

This NETGEAR GS105E ProSAFE Switch is an exceptional value for businesses looking to add intelligence to their network beyond what unmanaged switches can provide.

Desktop Gigabit Switch GS105E ProSAFE 5-Port

Key Features

• Use as a plug-and-play switch or use the configuration utility for simple setup
• 5 ports deliver up to 2000 Mbps bi-directional bandwidth on each port
• Quality of Service (QoS) for prioritizing network traffic
• Virtual LAN (VLAN) support for network segmentation and security
• Troubleshoot connection problems via cable test
• Port mirroring
• Bandwidth management to avoid network congestions
• Network traffic monitoring
• Broadcast storm control

Prioritize Voice/Video

With the ability to set up and configure QoS, this NETGEAR GS105E ProSAFE switch can detect different types of network traffic and assign the desired priority to latency-sensitive traffic, such as voice and video. This helps improve the delivery quality of related applications such as VoIP, multimedia broadcasting, and video conferencing.

Build Multiple Network Groups

The NETGEAR GS10PE ProSAFE switch can help divide big networks into smaller more manageable groups and have resources dedicated for one or several groups rather than making the same resources open to all. This feature improves overall network performance, adds security to network traffic, and makes more efficient use of network resources.

Troubleshoot Cable Problems

This NETGEAR GS105E ProSAFE switch comes with a cable diagnostic feature that enables users to easily find out the health status of their network cables. If there are any problems, this feature helps quickly locate the point where the cabling fails; allowing connectivity issues to be fixed much faster, potentially saving technicians hours of troubleshooting.

IGMP Snooping for Optimized Multimedia Traffic Delivery

By listening in on the IGMP conversation between hosts and routers, the NETGEAR GS105E ProSAFE switch can maintain a map as to which links need which IP multicast streams. The NETGEAR GS105E ProSAFE switch therefore will be able to forward multicast traffic only to the links that have asked for them and cut multicast traffic from links that do not contain a multicast listener.

Essentially, IGMP snooping helps optimize multicast performance at Layer 2 and is especially useful for bandwidth-intensive IP multicast applications such as IPTV.
