riahc3 Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Hello, My understanding is the E is a somewhat smart switch with no interface to manage it built in, need to use their tool to setup stuff. You missed one feature it has that can come in real handy Port mirroring This allows you to sniff traffic if need be - for example you can mirror the port connected to your router - and via something connected to that mirror you can view all the traffic in and out of your network with a protocol analyzer - say wireshark, or use something like ntop to monitor and report on types of traffic flowing in and out of your network. For the small difference in price - yes I would go with that E model, even if you don't have any current plans of using those features. What about next week ;) I didnt know it had port mirroring. Must have overlooked it. Yup, going with the GS105E then. I hope I have no weird price difference changing tonight when I go to order it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praetor Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Hello, OK, what happened is that Google Shopping got confused. I put "gs108" and for some reason it shows me a GS208-100PES. Thats why where was such a small price difference. Going with a GS105. hello where are you gonna buy it from? I'm also interested on a gigabit switch.
