Netgear GS108T 8-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Switch ProSAFE VLAN QoS Business Wty

Netgear GS108T — 8-Port ProSAFE Gigabit Smart Managed Switch The Netgear ProSAFE GS108T is an 8-port Gigabit smart managed switch with a web browser management interface, supporting VLAN, QoS, IGMP snooping, port mirroring, and port-based rate limiting. Its 16 Gbps non-blocking switching fabric and fanless design make it an ideal choice for SMB environments needing managed network features without CLI complexity. This unit ships with a 12-month Reboot IT warranty and is professionally tested at our Melbourne facility. Key Benefits 8× Gigabit ports, 16 Gbps fabric: Full non-blocking wire-speed switching across all 8 ports simultaneously — no bottleneck even under heavy load. 802.1Q VLAN segmentation: Separate guest WiFi, staff network, IoT devices, and IP cameras onto isolated VLANs — up to 64 static VLANs via the web interface. 802.1p + DSCP QoS: Priority queuing keeps VoIP calls and video conferences smooth even when bulk file transfers are happening on the same switch. IGMP snooping: Multicast-aware forwarding prevents IP camera streams and video multicasts from flooding all ports — a significant benefit for camera-heavy environments. Fanless and silent: No fan — zero audible noise, making it suitable for desks, AV racks, and quiet office environments where a noisy switch is unacceptable. 12-month Reboot IT warranty: Professionally inspected, tested, and graded at our Melbourne facility — Australian warranty and support since 2001. Performance in Use The GS108T occupies the gap between dumb unmanaged switches and full CLI-managed enterprise switches. Its ProSAFE Smart browser interface exposes VLAN configuration, QoS rules, port mirroring, rate limiting, and status monitoring through a clean web GUI — no command-line knowledge required. For SMB networks serving 10–50 users, this is typically all the switch management needed: port-based VLANs to separate guest WiFi from staff traffic, 802.1p QoS to protect VoIP quality, and IGMP snooping to ensure IP camera multicast streams reach only the NVR rather than flooding every port. Port-based rate limiting caps individual port bandwidth, useful for guest or IoT ports where unrestricted throughput would waste capacity or create security risks. The built-in cable diagnostics function identifies wiring faults in installed cabling without specialist test equipment — a time-saver when troubleshooting a port that fails to link. Jumbo frame support (up to 9,216 bytes) improves throughput for NAS and iSCSI workloads on the same switch. The external AC adapter keeps the switch fanless, contributing to the silent operation that makes the GS108T particularly well-suited to shared office environments.

No cracks or structural damage. Fully tested. All ports and management functions verified operational. B — Good Light wear consistent with office use — minor scuffs on housing. No structural damage. Fully tested. All ports and management functions verified operational. Frequently Asked Questions Does the GS108T support PoE? No. The GS108T does not provide Power over Ethernet on any port. If you need to power WiFi APs, IP phones, or cameras via the switch, you will need a PoE-capable switch such as the Netgear GS108PE or GS310TP. Is this a managed or unmanaged switch? The GS108T is a "smart managed" switch — it provides a web browser GUI for VLAN, QoS, port mirroring, and monitoring, but does not offer a full CLI. For essential managed features without command-line complexity, it is an excellent fit. How many VLANs does it support? Up to 64 static 802.1Q VLANs. Port-based and tagged/untagged VLAN configurations are supported via the web interface, covering the needs of most SMB environments. Does it support link aggregation? No. The GS108T does not support LACP (802.3ad) link aggregation. If bonded uplinks are required, consider the Netgear GS110TP or a full managed switch. What shipping options are available?
