"As for security, I do a fair bit of work with Cisco gear and am a CCNA. Telnet is very often used to configure them, which is plain text." Oh god my eyes. On Sat, Mar 26, 2016, 9:05 PM Alvin Starr <alvin@netvel.net> wrote:

This has a neat feature: it can do VLANs. But it must be configured from a Windows program.
UNFORTUNATELY the protocol, while undisclosed, cannot be secured. This is a security disaster. I have a few of the 8-port version that I haven't used because of this problem. --- Talk Mailing List talk@gtalug.org https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk I kind of like th1 GS108. Its an 8 port managed switch and has the upside of being able to run from POE connection so you don't need the wall wart. But its more like $80.
I am not sure how well it is secured but it at least seems to require a password and is web based.
