XikeStor L2 Managed 8 Port 10G Ethernet Switch, 10Gb Network Switch with 4X RJ45 & 4X SFP+ Ports, Support VLAN/LACP/IGMP/QoS/STP, Built-in Smart Fan, Desktop/Wall-Mount

I needed this for setting up a 10G link between two workstations using SFP+ DACs and needed 10G BASE-T for a backhaul, and needed it to be a managed switch for VLAN tagging and jumbo frames. The web configuration interface is honestly confusing compared to other switches I have used and there are some poorly translated bits which don't help (one was that the option for upgrading firmware is labeled "Archive"), but I was ultimately able to figure out what I needed for my network, and the switch certainly isn't lacking in options if you know what to look for. DACs did not work until I configured the SFP+ ports for DACs which I did not expect to need to do, but once I changed that it linked up just fine with my workstation NICs. The BASE-T ports also worked with a 10G link just fine, they hold a stable link with a good quality cable, and they have no trouble with establishing a slower link when required. With proper configuration on the host side, I can easily saturate the 10G link between the hosts, so speed isn't an issue at all. The unit does have a fan, but it appears to have PWM, so you probably won't hear it over anything that warrants using 10G networking. This switch's BASE-T ports will also happily negotiate a 5G link, which isn't listed but is useful if you have any 5GbE hardware. Overall I am satisfied with this switch, it does what a 10G switch needs to do and at a good price point, I would recommend it to anyone with similar requirements to mine.

Price is good and hardware seems very solidly built. It does what I wanted - a 10gbe aggregating low power switch with vlan tagging on uplinks. For the first time in configuring many switches I ended up with the web management interface as the command line was a bridge too far - different, not intuitive to me and has a 1000+ page manual that is difficult to navigate. It has many features that I don’t need in this role, but would make a general purpose home network switch. Bottom line, with the web interface I got what I needed, it doesn’t use very much power (<20 W) and seems to work.

I've been using this switch as the center of my office lab with a mix of 10 gbps and 1 gpbs devices. So far it's been rock solid. It's small, small enough to mount underneath my sit/stand desktop, and stays relatively cool. The web interface is OK and also control of the basics.

You can change password for Admin but you can't create a new admin Acct and delete factory admin. Updated new software from company website and installed fine. Dated Mar 10, 2025 so they do update. Switch configuration saves/restores work fine. File saves to your computer and is done manually so save when making changes. Like to see image of enabled/disabled port connections in GUI on next fw/sw update. Love that it works in manage or unmanaged modes. Running VLANs fine. No lockups.. factory reset once (my fault).. worked. Great purchase for the price. Using with dual 10GB nics out of 2023 Mac Pro

Great 10GB SFP switch, easy to manage, completely customizable based on your port needs. Works great.

I bought one of these but could not change the admin password. So I return the first one and got a replacement. The replacement had the same issue. I ended up returning the second one as well and bout a mokerlink. I really liked the form factor of this model and was very disappointed that the admin password could not be changed. I tried everything including resetting and trying to upgrade the firmware. When I tried to update the firmware it gave an error message bout not enough space. They need to check these during production. I already own two other managed switches and the MokerLink 8 Port 10G Managed Ethernet Switch, 10G/5G/2.5G/1G Auto-Adaptive, L3 Web/CLI Managed is my third one.

I purchased the XikeStor L2 Managed 8 Port 10G Ethernet Switch (Model 4*10G RJ45 4*10G SFP+) about a month ago and its been doing just great. I am using it for comms between a pair of hypervisors I have and a pair of Synology NAS devices, one of which has a 10G ethernet port built in, and the other which has (4) 1G ethernet ports. Prior to this, I was using LACP to bond pairs of slower NICs to maximize the backbone of my LAN but now it is so much easier because (other than to support the 4-port NAS) I don't have to bother creating teams anymore, 10G speed is just awesome. I have a second XikeStor L2 switch that has 10-ports, two of which are SFP+ 10G ports and that is how I'm connecting my LAN to the Internet router serving the rest of our house. One thing I noticed that is different between the two models of XikeStor switches is how they each handled being interconnected via a SFP+ DAC cable I purchased. The other XikeStor switch auto-detected that transceiver just fine, but for this 10G switch I found that I had to edit the properties of the switchport connected to the DAC, and tell the switch that it was in fact a DAC before any bits would start flowing. Speaking of, the UI for this switch is easy to figure out. I see that they also have some instructional materials available on YouTube to help you with topics such as VLANs which I appreciate. The switch itself doesn't get overly hot and even though there's a fan in it I can't hear it over the rest of the gear running in my office. So, my impressions of this switch are very favorable and I would definitely recommend you give this switch a try.

I’ve been using this switch in my home lab, and it’s been fantastic. The 10G SFP+ ports are great for high-speed devices, and the 2.5G ports work flawlessly for my PCs. It’s simple to set up and provides solid performance across the board. Highly recommend for anyone with a small to medium-sized network.

Good product, only problem to manage the IP in the provided interface but if you dont plan to change default config for this issue, its fine

Ottimo switch, interfaccia molto veloce e completo in tutte le funzioni. Al momento l'unico "difetto" è che anche impostando la lingua in inglese non viene mantenuta al successivo accesso al pannello admin. Leggermente rumoroso, ma niente di così insopportabile. Lo consiglio.

Xikestorのサイトには製品として出てこない 中国本土のサイトには出てくる マニュアル類は中国語版が中国のサイトから入手可能 GUIで設定を行うと、たまにフリーズするし、IPアドレスの変更が反映出来ない 付属品コンソールケーブルでCUI操作も可能なので、そちらが吉 過度な期待はしてなかったが、10Gbpsでリンクは問題なく、アンマネージ状態で使うにも問題は無さそうファンの音は確かに気になるが、これは設置場所等にもよるかも（ラックに入れる機器の様な、爆音FANではない）

10Gマネージドスイッチでは非常に安価です。 別室において使用する想定だったので、耐久性の面を考慮してファンありを選択しました。 ただ、実際に電源を入れてみると、本当にファンが回っているか心配になるほど無音に近かったです。 もう少し使用してみますが、ファン音が気にならなければ自室用に追加購入を考えます。
