Essentially, IGMP snooping helps optimize multicast performance at Layer 2 and is especially useful for bandwidth-intensive IP multicast applications such as IPTV. The switch forwards multicast traffic only to the links that requested them and cuts multicast traffic from links that do not contain a multicast listener. The switch maintains a map that shows which links need which IP multicast streams. This feature prevents the switch from broadcasting the traffic to all ports and possibly affecting network performance. The status also shows you whether the ports are connecting at 100/1000 speed and if they are connecting at Half or Full Duplex IGMP Sooping Port Statisticsįor each switch port, you can view the bytes received, bytes sent, and cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error packets. You can also change the switch device name for something more relevent on your network (e.g switch-01). Version, DHCP mode, and other network information.
You can view the switch product name (model), serial number, MAC address, firmware Netgear GS308E Managed Switch Pro's and Con's Pro's Following are some the pro's and con's we found in using this switch.
As well you are able to setup different VLAN's, essentially dividing the switch into different sections or networks. Some of the things we liked about the Netgear GS308E is that you can log into the web interface and see the status of the ports, such as are the ports connected at 100/1000 link status, are the connecting at Half or Full Duplex, and are their any CRC errors (collisions) on the network. The Netgear GS308E is a great swtich for your home or small business network as it gives you some of the good the basic features in a managed switch.
