Tx Error: Transmitted packet/s with error.

Rx Error: Received packet/s with error. Packets are counted as TX Error if they:

Had a late collision detected during the transmission (512 bit-times into the transmission).

Experienced 16 failed transmission attempts due to collision.

Were dropped due to lack of resources. Packets are counted as RX Error if they:

Were less than 64 bytes or greater than 1522 bytes?

Had a bad FCS.

Were dropped due to lack of resources.

Switch> Statistics>Q0S Page

Indicate the priority for the port. Quality of Service (QoS) is a way of managing traffic in a network, by treating different types of traffic with different levels of priority. Higher priority traffic gets faster treatment during times of switch congestion.

The QoS page supports two types of QoS:

Port-based QoS is the defualt option and the default setting for all ports is normal.

IEEE802.1p-based QoS allows user to map different IEEE801.1p traffic to different levels of priority.

Switch> VLAN Page

A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a means to electronically separate ports on the same switch from a single broadcast domain into separate broadcast domains. By using VLAN, users can group by logical function instead of physical location.

The VLAN Table shows two types of VLAN and other information:

FS526T, FS750T2NA specifications

The NETGEAR FS750T2NA and FS526T are commendable offerings in the realm of unmanaged Ethernet switches, designed to cater to both home and small business networking needs. Boasting solid performance, these switches facilitate seamless connectivity for multiple devices, making them ideal for network expansion.

The NETGEAR FS750T2NA features 48 ports, ensuring ample connections for numerous devices. It supports auto-sensing technology, allowing devices to negotiate their speed and duplex settings, optimizing network efficiency. The switch is designed with a steel housing that enhances durability, which is critical for environments where space can be cramped.

Notably, the FS750T2NA supports a non-blocking switching architecture. This means that data can flow freely across all ports without encountering bottlenecks, delivering consistent performance, which is critical when several devices are active simultaneously. Furthermore, the FS750T2NA is equipped with IEEE 802.3x flow control, which ensures that frames are not dropped during heavy traffic, maintaining data integrity.

On the other hand, the FS526T, featuring 26 ports, offers a slightly smaller footprint while retaining robust performance. This switch also includes auto-sensing technology and a metal chassis, ensuring longevity. The FS526T caters well to environments where space is a limiting factor without compromising on performance.

Both switches support the energy-efficient IEEE 802.3az standard, which reduces power consumption during low network activity. This characteristic not only lowers operational costs but also contributes to a greener IT footprint. Moreover, users benefit from plug-and-play installation, enabling quick deployment without the need for complicated configuration.

The NETGEAR switches utilize advanced design to ensure low latency, thus enhancing the overall user experience, whether it be for data transfer, video streaming, or online gaming. Furthermore, the fanless design of the FS750T2NA and FS526T ensures silent operation, making them suitable for noise-sensitive environments.

In summary, the NETGEAR FS750T2NA and FS526T are highly effective unmanaged switches that offer substantial port availability, robust performance, energy efficiency, and ease of use. These devices stand out as reliable solutions for expanding and optimizing network connectivity in both home and small business setups.
