Zyxel 5-Port Network Switch | Web Managed Gigabit Ethernet Splitter| 5X GbE Ports | QoS, Link Aggregation, VLAN, IGMP Snooping | Fanless | Desktop [GS1200-5v3]

Only have had this product for a few days and I love it so far. It does exactly what I need it to do for my personal home ESXi Media Server and File server management. Supports IPv4 & IPv6, port LAGs (to link the file server to the Media Server with a 2Gbps LAG group), limited to 32 Vlans, which is plenty enough (not that one would need more than half a dozen for a simple home network) which allows for the traffic from the file server to the media server to never leave the switch and kept separated from other traffic. I still have to play with the Vlan tagging features more to figure out if there is a way to support more than one Vlan ID per switchport as the WebGUI is not very explicit as to how the Vlan tagging feature works. Now for the bad. A lesser concern I found is that here seems to be no feature to force the link to be at a 1000 full. It can be set to auto, 10 or 100 full but there is no 1000 full option available (granted, any device capable of 1000 full will auto-negotiate such a speed, but this seems like a bit of an oversight). The Management interface seems to also only accept simple AlphaNumeric characters (A through Z, lower and upper case and 0 to 9) but no special characters whatsoever. My greatest concern is that the management WebGUI seems to only be accessible through http and does not seem to support https or network traffic encryption in any shape or form natively. I have not yet found any firmware version (though it may very well exist) that supports https (I'd be plenty happy even with a self-signed certificate). This would be the sole reason for my rating this a 4 Star item (I would honestly rate it 4.5 if such an option existed) instead of giving it a 5 star stellar review. Overall, none of those relatively small issues, would be deal breakers or cause any major security concerns for a small home network. The switch does what it advertises to do and does it well. A definite excellent buy.

Dispositivo muy eficiente. Cero ruido, creo emisión de calor. Necesito otro!
