Management switch or management fiber switch is a managed switch that allows access to one or more interface for the purpose of configuration or management of features such as Spanning Tree Protocol, port speed, VLANs, etc. which effectively break up different ports on a switch into different switches. It will automatically sense 10base and 100base links, with no manual intervention required. It will also automatically detect MDI and MDI-X which eliminates your need for cross-over cables. Managed switch is often used when you have a lot of ports but you'd like to, forinstance, separate direct connection to the Internet for a few computers, from the rest of your local area network. Before you manage your switch, you need to configure a management interface. Unlike the routers that allow for management on any configured interface, with switches you are not able to associate IP addresses to the physical ports or interface; rather, you associate the IP address to a virtual interface that is implicitly created with a Virtual LAN (VLAN). A managed switch can tell you about excessive usage on certain ports. It can be used to limit the number of IP addresses that one port can service. This is important if you want one computer for one port, forinstance. It makes sure nobody plugs a hub into a wall and shares off more connections without talking to the administrator first. A managed switch can also be used to enable or disable specific ports without unplugging a?cable. ?Take?1FX+4 TP Management fiber switch for example, next Iet's see the features of a management switch: Support 4 port 10/ 100M auto-detect Half/Full duplex RJ45 ports and 1 fiber port. Support MAC address auto-learning. Automatic detecting MDI/MDI-X configuration Support WEB-based network management Support port VLAN and Tag VLAN.(8Groups) Support data packet length up to 1552 bytes.
