The switches are being billed as “Layer 2+/ Layer 3 Lite” switches which is common in the edge market. Netgear MS510TXM And MS510TXUP Specs Fixes the issue when an OUI is added, the last two hexadecimal are changed to E0 instead of the entered value. We tested power consumption on 120V power since that is common at the edge where these will be deployed in North America. In terms of actual power consumption we saw: Overall, this is an acceptable result. There is some overhead on the ports. The numbers are very similar to what we saw from other units in this scenario.

Then there are the ports. For your basic networking needs, there are 4x 1GbE ports. That may seem normal. Then there are two 2.5GbE ports that one can see as potentially needed for newer APs, a lower-end NAS, or workstation. Next to those, there are two 5GbE ports which also may be used for different lower-end NAS units or workstations. Netgear ProSafe MS510TX Ports

Anyone who has had to manage firmware updates across multiple devices knows how time-consuming it can be. Netgear Insight really shines here, allowing us to painlessly identify the firmware status of all our devices connected through the Insight dashboard and instantly push firmware updates to any out-of-date devices. Digital Cameras, camera lenses, Headsets, Speakers, Projectors, Home Entertainment (new and certified refurbished) 15 Days Returnable The big addition is that the Netgear MS510TXUP adds PoE++. This is what Netgear calls its “Ultra60” or up to 60W per port on the RJ45 ports. The switch itself has a PoE power budget of 295W so it is not enough to drive all of the ports at full power, but not all PoE++ devices are using a full 60W so it is common to over-provision power budgets. Netgear MS510TXUP FrontIf we dive a bit deeper into the PoE overview we can see the individual port’s power over ethernet consumption and other helpful details. Overall, these are decent specs. Some major implications of using the 10GbE ports as uplink ports are that there is up to 50Gbps worth of ports for devices and 20Gbps for uplinks. That is a bit more oversubscription than some other switches we have seen in the space. This is largely due to the fact we are seeing downstream port speeds increase while the uplink ports remain at 10Gbps. In most installations with these switches, that is not going to have an impact. Still, it is just an interesting note of this generation. There is a single 40mm fan, but this is a very quiet unit. Even the tinkerers out there are unlikely to want to replace this one. Netgear MS510TX 40mm Fan Paired with Insight, the unified remote management dashboard from Netgear, managing a large deployment of MS510TXUP’s is made a breeze. In the end, complexity can be a killer in these types of environments. The MS510TXUP has a very specific mission and executes it well.

The next four ports operate at 1GbE/ 2.5GbE/ 5GbE/ and 10Gbase-T speeds. Finally, there are two SFP+ ports for fiber 10GbE uplinks. One can see the internal power supply which is a feature we vastly prefer versus external power supplies used on switches like the MikroTik CSS326-24G-2S+RM. Netgear MS510TX Internal Power Supply This product is geared towards business / prosumer market. It has VLAN and other L2 managed switch features and to take advantage of that, you'll need to be comfortable with configuring switches by directly connecting a computer to them and using a web interface. If you're looking for pure unmanaged plug-n-play and easy mode setup, this is likely not the product you want. That said, this switch would definitely work out of the box as an unmanaged 10Gbe switch with no configuration required ... it's just that if you're buying this device, you likely want the extra management features.

The main motherboard houses a forest of heatsinks cooling switch chips and the management controller. Netgear MS510TX Switch Heatsinks While Auto-VoIP and Auto-Voice VLAN capabilities, where voice traffic is automatically detected and isolated for quality of servers, are not new features to see on the market, Netgear includes two new autodetection features with the MS510TXUP. These two new traffic quality of service features are known as Auto-WiFi and Auto-Camera VLAN. The Auto-WiFi VLAN and Auto-Camera VLAN features automatically detect and prioritize the traffic based on user-configurable VLAN settings. Netgear Insight It is difficult not to admire such an effort. This switch has so much going on with five different port types. When we looked at the datasheet for this, and the MS510TXPP (PoE) counterpart, there were three scenarios. Only the first application made sense as a possible deployment scenario in a small office setting. Netgear MS510TX Use Case Using The MS510TXPP
