FS108P — 8 Port 10/100 Unmanaged Switch a layer 2 switch?
Newbie question here. Is the (now EOL) FS108P — 8 Port 10/100 Unmanaged Switch a layer 2 switch? I ask as I want to attach 4 POE (NDI) cameras to this switch and use NDI tools.
Thank you

Sure it is L2 (unmanaged) unit...

...on a Fast Ethernet switch - seriously?
A gigabit networking infrastructure is recommended for use with NDI®. A single stream of video in High Definition can use between 100-200Mbps of bandwidth. For more resource-intensive production workflows, five or 10 gigabit networks may be required. For the best possible performance, NDI® should be used on a dedicated network. When this isn’t feasible, a managed network where NDI® data can be prioritized will still see better performance than operating on a shared, or unmanaged network
Hey. Thanks for your answer. Didn't care for the "seriously" part, but as I look at this old switch on my desk that clearly says 10/100mbps I realize you're right on the mark... Could you recommend a switch that could handle the kind of bandwidth I'm looking for?
