    Hi NetworkingFTW

     

    Thanks for your post and for looking at NETGEAR Switches.

     

    Both Smart Managed Plus, and Pro switches are designed for Small and Medium sized organizations, and offer cost-effective Fast Ethernet, Gigabit, Multi-Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet solutions.

     

    Smart Managed Plus switches make an ideal upgrade from Unmanaged switches, with easy-to-use web browser-based management GUI, and essential Layer 2 switching features including VLAN, QoS, Multicast and Link Aggregation.

     

    Smart Managed Pro switches provide even more features, with Access Control Lists, Spanning Tree and SNMP that you won't find on Plus versions. Often with IPv4/IPv6 Layer 3 Static Routing, the Pro versions bring more enterprise-class networking to budget-aware SMBs.

     

    I hope this helps and please let us know if you have a specific port count or model in mind.

     

    Regards,
