The difference between manageable and unmanageable switches

Introduction to Managed and Unmanaged Switches:
A manageable switch refers to a switch that can be configured (debugged) through a computer's web interface, command line (Telnet, SSH, control line), and can enable related functions to meet different business needs of users (such as subnetting, controlling access to the Internet, MAC address binding, port isolation, loop prevention, etc.). Although a managed switch can flexibly adapt to customers' diverse business needs, the cost is also higher.

An unmanaged switch refers to a switch that cannot be configured (debugged) through a computer's web interface, command line (Telnet, SSH, control line). It can be used by simply connecting the power and network cable, but it cannot perform functions such as subnetting and MAC binding. An unmanaged switch cannot flexibly adapt to customer needs, but the cost is lower.

Application scenarios and problems solved:
Manageable switches are suitable for scenarios with large scale, complex networks, diverse business types, and sufficient budget (such as chain and three-star hotels, large enterprises, government agencies, commercial complexes, 3A and above scenic spots), to solve the needs and issues of dividing the network into segments with the largest number of terminals, reducing the scope of network failure, loop avoidance, and setting internet access permissions.

The un-manageable switch is suitable for simple scenarios with low budget, no network segmentation requirements, such as small hotels, security monitoring, small and micro enterprises, catering, KTV, small hotels, etc.

Currently, our company's network switch supports easy-to-use web interface configuration, which can be enabled for relevant functions according to user business needs.

Our company supports network management switch products:
Smart network management switches, NBS200 series, NBS2000 series, S2600 series, NBS5500 series, NBS5600 series, NBS5816XG, S5510series, NBS5710 series, NBS5750 series, S5750 series, S2929G-S, S2528G-24P, S5750Cseries, S6200 series, S6220 series, S7500 series, S7805E, and other models are un-manageable switches.

Highlights
Currently, the majority of switches support MACC management, which enables visualizing the network topology, monitoring the CPU and memory status of devices, displaying the on/off status of device panel ports, and providing log alerts through WeChat mini programs. It is free and meets the daily network operation and maintenance requirements.
