Get Your How to Choose Between Managed, Unmanaged and Web-Smart Switches White Paper
Finding The Right Switch
The three most common typologies of Ethernet switches are unmanaged, managed and web smart. Choosing the right kind depends largely on the size of your network and how much control you need over it.
Managed switches provide configuration possibilities that can modify and manage their operation, which enables greater control and granularity into issue diagnosis. Unmanaged switches do not offer such features. They work on a plug-and-play basis with no interface or the option to modify their operation.
It’s important to select an adequate switch for a specific application. In an industrial setting with rugged environments, Industrial Ethernet Switches will give you the high reliability you need for mission-critical networks.
