What is a Managed Network Switch?

 A managed Ethernet switch is a network device that provides advanced control over data traffic and network configurations, allowing administrators to manage, configure, and monitor the network more effectively. It offers features such as VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS), port mirroring, and remote management capabilities, making it suitable for complex and larger network environments.

These switches enable greater control over network performance and security compared to unmanaged switches. You are able to view and change settings through the network device's Web Interface / Management UI.
