Looking for a managed switch bandwidth limiting capabilities...?
Hi guys and gals...
Looking for recommendations on a managed Netgear switch, 10-20 ports that has the ability to limit bandwidth?
Thanks In Advance....

Hi @csdnet,
Welcome to the community! 🙂
Kindly check the M4300 Series switches and the M5300 Series switches on the links below. You can configure QoS (Quality of Service) in order to set the bandwidth on every port.

Hi
Welcome to the Community!
Not sure what is your application, there are many ways of shaping traffic (limiting bandwidth) on a Managed Switch. I personnally prefer Access Control Lists, ingress and/or egress.
Any Fully Managed Switch platform will offer this possibility: ACLs (access control lists) with L2 (MAC), L3 (IP) and L4 (TCP/UDP) offer filtering and associated rate limiting at the ingress and/or the egress for each traffic pattern, including burst size. These ACL rules can be time-based (based on a schedule) and binded with physical ports, LAGs or with VLANs. This is advanced classifier-based hardware implementation for security and prioritization.
M4100 models are Fast Ethernet and Gigabit models, and M4200 is Multi-Gigabit Ethernet - all models are standalone with Static L3 routing. ACLs can work at ingress only with M4100 and M4200 models. The M4100-D12G (GSM5212-100NES ordering SKU) would be the first solution, if no other port count requirement.
M4300 models are Gigabit and 10 Gigabit models - all models are stackable and come with full Layer 3 routing. ACLs can work at ingress and egress with M4300 models.
Maybe you can consult this post in order to have more complete description of an ACL when it comes to limit bandwidth.
I hope this helps!
