- Is this a managed or unmanaged switch?
- It is an easy smart switch. It forwards traffic like an unmanaged switch but adds a web interface for VLANs, QoS and port monitoring. It is not a full managed switch.
- Does it support PoE?
- No. The DS108GE provides data only, so powered devices like access points and IP cameras need their own power injectors or a PoE switch.
- How many devices can I connect?
- Eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, all at full Gigabit speed. One port is typically used to uplink to your router, leaving seven for devices.
- Do I need an Omada controller to use it?
- No. You configure it through its own web interface. A controller is not required for the basic smart features.
- Is it rack-mountable?
- It is a compact desktop-style switch. Rack mounting would need a separate bracket, which is not part of the standard unit.
