8 Port 10 Gigabit SFP Managed Switch, Support 1G Sfp and 10G Sfp+ Module, 160Gbps Bandwidth, L3 Web Managed, Metal Fanless Fiber Binardat Network Switch

There is no management port, but Telnet and HTTP are both live at 192.168.2.1. The OS is a stripped down version of Cisco's CLI. If you know how to configure a Cisco, you can configure this switch. There are differences, but they don't affect this as a switch. This is my third router/switch from Binardat and I expect to buy more. Note! If you are going to use a DAC, you must set the media type of the Ethernet interface.

Fanless design. Runs warm. So far so good

This review is for the 8-Port 10G L3 Managed Fiber Switch 10G08-0800GSM. I have 3 different 10G SFP switches and this is the only one I didn't get to work. Pros: * Very compact Cons: * Does not properly boot up. I can't access the web portal on 192.168.2.1 with a direct connection to the laptop which is not connected to any other network. Arp -a doesn't show the switch. The SFP module and Ethernet cable are known to be good as they work on other switches. * Gets very hot, probably because it is so compact. * Out of 4 different SFP+ ETH modules only one worked (though other switches had the same issue). Only the 10Gtek ASF-10G-T worked. I have a feeling the switch doesn't work with Broadcom chips. The following SFP+ modules didn't work: 10Gtek ASF-10G-T80, tp-link SM5310-T, ASFPTEK AT-SFP-10G-T-80 * It takes 28 seconds for the SYS LED to start blinking. This is very consistent. According to the manual, a blinking SYS LED means "Starting". So that means it does not start booting for 28s. Every other switch starts booting as soon as it gets power. * It takes 52 seconds for the connected SFP ports to be recognized. The second worst switch took 36 seconds, i.e. 16 seconds faster. * The status LEDs are below the ports. If you want to check the LEDs and the switch is not above eye level, you have to tilt it up or lift it up to see the LEDs.

I wish they didn't mix reviews but they do, this review is for the 10G08-0800GSM. I wanted to write this before I have more experience with this switch to help if you're having a problem getting past the login on the web ui. My login screen did not change to the settings pages after entering the default credentials, it just stayed on the login. What i found is if you check the "remember password" box on the login it will then go on when you enter them. Just a glitch in the firmware that I guess they will soon fix but I saw someone else wrote a review about the same problem and it shakes my confidence in this switch a bit. It does get warm and I wish they had used a perforated case like my Mikrotik but you get what you pay for. The first time I powered it up it got to 51C but today I've had it idling for about 2 hours, in the identical environment, and it's not gotten over 42C. I've gone ahead and designed a 3d printed fan holder to help keep it cool since I plan on rack mounting it and don't know how it's going to do under load. It's currently drawing just under 10 watts with 3 SFP+ LC-SR transceivers idling. I'd also point out that Amazon refers you to the manufacturer for warranty information and when I checked the manufacturer website I couldn't find any. There may not be any manufacturer warranty so you may want to do your own research and see what you can find.

My standard initial rating starts at 4. It's not terribly difficult to get that 5th star. It just has to function, not feel like it's going to break right after the warranty expires, and not be frustrating to use. Unfortunately, this one fails in that last part. This device has 8 SFP ports and all of my SFP devices are on their own network. I had to repair a decommissioned server and scrounge up an extra SFP card to configure this turkey. Is it really THAT hard to look for DHCP first? I have one of those configured for guest services and I could have at least leveraged that to configure this thing so I could activate my VLANs. It's not so easy to reconfigure to a hard-coded network when trying to expand an already decent sized footprint in my home lab and I feel for the guy who had 192.168.2.1 as their gateway before getting one of these. That said: compared to the other SFP/SFP+ switches on the market with similar port counts, this is the only one out there that has all 10G ports. Practically every other one I found out there had only a couple of their ports at the 10G speed. Maybe they made this one cheaper to account for the really terrible static-IP setup; I would have rather paid a little extra if that was the case.

When it works, it's fine, I guess. However, this switch will frequently just stop working without any configuration changes. - It seems *very* picky about which SFP+ modules it will support - It gets very hot - It seems to be fine with most of the RJ-45 modules I've used; but if I wanted an RJ-45 switch, I would have *bought* an RJ-45 switch (and that certainly isn't helping the heat issues) - Most of the LC modules I've tried will simply not pass data - All but one of the DAC cables I've tried will not pass data - There doesn't seem to be any way to change the password of the "admin" user I *thought* this was a great deal, but it turns out that it was simply too good to be true. This is the first switch of this brand that I've bought, and will be the last.

This switch worked great for a short while. Now I've owned it for less than a month and it constantly restarts itself. It runs hot enough to burn your hand at the touch. It will not keep any settings configured when it restarts itself. I'm using 7 of the 8 ports with 10Gb devices. The switch is now completely unusable.

Genial pour le prix

8 Port 10 Gigabit SFP Managed Switch Impressions: The unit is tiny, metal good overall construction. Background: I already had a 6 port 2.5\10Gb switch with 2 RG45 10Gb SFP+'s using that to allow 2 computers of mine to copy large back up files at the highest speed & used 2.5Gb NIC's & USB Adaptors for less important machines for the last year over existing domestic network cabling. So far so hoopy (Apart from occasional drop outs - More of which later) Intention: I decided that I'd like to increase my speed to other units & bought this unit as the principle hub with 2 more RG45 10Gb SFP's & put the original unit to replace a existing 1Gb switch. So now I have 3 10Gb links initially this was great. Issues: Then the dropouts returned faster & faster & with longer periods of network coming back online. After much playing about the root cause was revealed. 10Gb SFP's run f**king hot, fact of life no matter the brand (Intentional pun as that's how hot they get), the original unit had 2 SFP's happily next to the other both playing a game of chicken to see which one could get the hottest & by extension heating its neighbour at the same time without dropping the network. Solution: I spaced out the 10Gb SFP's into alternate slots (Something that couldn't be done on the original switch), they still get hot, but not having "three in a row", means they are no longer collectively cooking the other two & performance has remained stable if not better than before. Conclusions: Obviously the switch is marketed for use with cheaper SFP's for Fibre Optic media so I can't speak for their performance, those type of SFP's would run (probably) cooler. If I add machines to the faster home network, I will require more SFP's & these will get hot if they get to a point of having to be installed next to the other as I don't intend to rewire the home with fibre cable, so I will need to add some form of forced airflow for cooling or buy another switch). I hope its obvious, but you do need network cards or USB adaptors to make use of the faster speeds of 2.5 or 10Gb to connect PC's to each other resulting in faster connectivity between these machines, it will not increase the speed of your ISP connection, that said there does seem to be a subliminal impression of faster response when internet browsing on devices with the faster connections.

This thing has enterprise grade features for so little money it boggles the mind... BGP, OSPF, 802.1x, SNMP, LACP, QoS with per class shaping!!! Wow... WOWWWWW! Here I thought L3 just meant interface vlans and static routes...

Un Switch L3 parfait pour mettre a jour mon appartement, intégrer la fibre, le RJ45 en 10 et 1Gbps pour une mise a jour d'une installation de 2012. Alimenté en 12V-2A aide a installer ça dans le tableau électrique. Il ne va donc pas falloir abuser des sfp+ 10Gbps du fait de leur consommation comparés aux sfp fibre et 1Gbps.

筐体は小さく発熱もさほどありません マネージメントはまだ使用しておりませんが、L2スイッチとしてもコスパは良いと思います
