Low power 8ports gb managed switch that works

[mgiammarco]

Hello,
I have a netgear gs108t that I use with synology (two ports lacp) two esxi small servers and some clients.

Since when I am using it with the above configuration I see:

- it is very hot;
- the web interface disappears until reboot;
- it is slow in reconfiguring ports.

I would like a suggestion of a 8ports gigabit switch with LACP and vlans that has "latest" technology so can use less power and work well under stress.

Thanks,
Mario

Look up the TP-Link TL-SG3210

That one is pretty nice.

Also DLink DGS1100-08. What gen is your gs108t? I am not terribly impressed with Netgear's switches, but the latest generation is roughly half the power consumption of the first generation.

TP-Link SG-2008 might also be an option. May not be available yet, they list it as New and a lot of times TP-Links "new" stuff isn't actually widely available for awhile.

I bought a like-new GS108e (not t) on eBay some 2 years ago for some $60. Runs fine, not hot.
I've used Port Mirroring for Wireshark. I don't think they make those anymore so you may have to buy as I did.

Thank you for all replies I will now try to find in my local shop the models you have suggested.
