What is an Ethernet Switch?

An Ethernet switch is used in a wired network to connect to other devices using Ethernet cables. The switch allows each connected device to talk to the others. Switches offer a number of advantages: connect to dozens of devices, determine traffic priority, monitor usage, control network access to various parts of the network, and communicate within your network.;

Why move up to Smart/Smart Cloud?

Need a backbone for heavy traffic usage

Anticipating rapid growth with stacking, security

Remote management capabilities

Use cases:

Small hospital with PoE-powered beds and medical devices use GS105PE (&GS728TPP) Their challenges:
i. Power supply — Many appliances in medical devices require a 220V/110V to 48V/12V transformer adapter. Such adapters have no uniform standards in terms of size, model, and power, which can cause major problems in their installation, deployment, and maintenance. Cabling —Exposed power cords are unacceptable for mobile medical equipment, such as wheeled stretchers, trolleys, and mobile monitors.
The NETGEAR Solution

ii. For this type of system and requirement, NETGEAR specializes in providing unique PoE relay power supply technology and products. At one end, a high-power PoE switch of 15W or 30W connects from a data center to a medical device via a network cable. At the other end, a NETGEAR PoE relay switch is added to the medical device to re-distribute the PoE power supply to the various apparatus in the medical device, while also providing a data connection.

Use cases

An Elementary school was looking to purchase a system that would allow them to switch off the WiFi after hours to prevent people from accessing the network when everyone is gone. Also, they were willing to provide a secure guest access to the parents while they are in the school. Their IT Manager heard about NETGEAR Insight (with Insight Premium subscription) and its “PoE scheduling” feature as well as the Instant Captive Portal capability to provide a full-fledge guest portal for the parents. They purchased five WAC540s, connected to a GC108P and have now set-up a weekly schedule that automatically switches off the PoE ports after hours and during the week-ends and holidays.

Small business owner without IT staff or formal IT training uses NETGEAR Insight for its quick, user-friendly set up, configurations, and management. Chris, the owner of a small law firm, was looking for an IT solution that was affordable and easy to manage while still looking professional. He did his research and considered many brands, but chose NETGEAR Insight because it didn’t look too complex to set up. Chris not being an IT professional didn’t matter. Insight was easy to set up, has a user-friendly app for configurations, and best of all created a reliable network for his small business

Use cases

Network expansion with reliability, flexibility and modularity
Télédistribution Amos is a digital cable television and Internet service provider located in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region of Quebec. In addition to over 10,000 television subscribers and over 8000 home Internet subscribers, Télédistribution Amos also provides very high-speed fiber-optic Internet services to over 125 business customers. Jonathan Parrot is Network Administrator for Télédistribution Amos. Due to its growing success, Télédistribution Amos has sought to expand its Ethernet switching capacity for its fiber customers. Today, Amos uses 1-gigabit NETGEAR M4100 Series managed switches to directly connect its customers and uses a 10-gigabit M4300 Series switch as the gateway to aggregate flows and manage VLANs. This means that each customer has their own virtual network that is completely separate from other companies, guaranteeing the security of their data and enabling them to customize their service more easily. One of the challenges Amos faced was to simplify the management of these VLANs, which spanned multiple switches.
