GS108E-300NAS vs GS108T-200NAS
So I'm looking to purchase an 8 port web managed switch that supports vlans and port mirroring, no PoE needed. Overall these two switches seem to be pretty similar. GS108Tv2 - GS108T-200NAS GS1...
As a summary, we learned that:
Similarities between the GS108Tv2 and GS108Ev3 switches:
a. Both switches will provide standard 802.1Q VLAN management per port, based on Untagged or Tagged modes, with or without PVID - which correspond to basic Access or Trunk port modes, with or without Native VLAN in other terminologies.
b. Both switches will provide standard Port Mirroring, ingress or egress or both, with multiple source ports and one destination port. When set in Mirroring mode, the destination port cannot work normally, i.e receive and send normal traffic - true for both switches.
Differences between the GS108Tv2 and GS108Ev3 switches:
a. The GS108Ev3 offers HTTP web interface and management, hence no encryption for restricting management access. On the other hand, the GS108Tv2 offers HTTPS web interface and management, which will be better fit for application outside of your firewall.
b. The GS108Tv2 can be powered by upstream PoE switch via its port 1 while the GS108Ev3 does not support this.
c. The GS108Tv2 provide more advance features such as Access Control for security (ACLs) and Differentiated Services (QoS) for packet prioritization will be done at Layer 2/ Layer 3/ Layer 4.

Are you sure it's GS108v1? GS108 is Unmanaged Switch hence no real support for 802.1Q VLANs.
If that's the case, I would advise you select GS108Tv2 instead: Product Page and Datasheet.
GS108Tv2 is a Smart Managed switch, consistent with your GS716Tv2 for VLAN configuration.
If you have GS108Tv1 instead (previous version of GS108T Smart Managed switch),no problem, it will support VLANs just fine with your GS716Tv2 as well.
My last comment about GS108Tv2 was about differences with Web Managed (Plus) GS108Ev3 switch:
- GS108Tv2 can be powered by upstream PoE switch via its port 1
- As a Smart Managed switch, Access Control for security (ACLs) and Differentiated Services (QoS) for packet prioritization will be done at Layer 2/ Layer 3/ Layer 4
I hope this helps!

Laurent,
I think mine is just a GS108 (non smart) version, not a T.
I will go ahead and order the GS108Tv2 , thanks for the clarification!
