Smart switches refer to switches that possess more features than those of unmanaged switches but do not have the full features of managed switches. Managed switches are more expensive compared to all other types of switches. Other features include support for virtual LANs, IP routing, and quality of service settings. The security on managed switches is better and will protect different types of traffic. Equally, they support SNMP agents that come in handy when troubleshooting network issues.

These switches are built with the command-line interface for ease of configuration. The number of features and level of functionality improves with managed switches, making them ideal for enterprise and business applications. These switches are affordable, but the basic features make them inappropriate for enterprise applications. It is the most basic switch and there are a few choices in the market. The unmanaged switches offer fixed configuration on a plug-and-play basis. Switches vary depending on network speed and tasks to be supported such as 40/100 Gbps, 10 Gigabit (up to 10000 Mbps), and gigabit Ethernet (up to 1000 Mbps), power over ethernet and fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps). For larger office network implementation, switches may have 24 ports, 48 ports, 96 ports, and 128 ports and are rack-mountable between 1U and 4U. Switches for small offices will have anything between 4 and 8 ports and can fit on a desk.

Networking switches vary widely depending on the number of devices they can support, network bandwidth/speed, and form factor. You can take note these are not brand new products.
