SODOLA 6 Port 2.5Gb Web Managed Switch, 4 x 2.5G Base-T Ports & 2 x 10G SFP+, Aluminum Cooling & Magnetic Mounting, Multi-Gigabit Network Switch for Homelab & Professional Networks, LACP/QoS/VLAN/IGMP

These are actually incredible value! I used them to create a 10GbE VLAN trunk between upstairs and downstairs so I could carry "dirty" Internet to where my firewall is located (and "clean" network back downstairs) using a single fibre cable. They fully support 802.1Q and have all the features you need to get the basic networking jobs done. The interface is quite plain and there's no CLI but for the job I needed they're great and highly recommended. I've had them in situ for weeks and never had an issue.

I bought my first "totally dumb" layer 2, 2.5Gbps switch a while back. As time has gone one I realised that I really needed at least some basic VLAN capability and a few other capabilities to help make my IoT framework a little more secure. This is a small footprint layer 2 and a bit switch in an aluminium case that doesn't even really get warm to the touch. It does what I need and does it well, the weakest link in my IoT is now the coming upto 5 year old router! Great value, looks the part, keeps up with my other equipment. Initial setup definitely takes a little bit of networking knowledge, and the web interface is a bit clunky, but it'll do for now!

Review of 9 port web managed switch (8x2.5 Gb ports - 1 x 10Gb) I'm really glad I picked this up, replacing my decade old TP Link web managed switch. The Sodola 9 port is less than half the size, which is great as I like my home IT kits to be as invisible as possible these days. Build quality is good. I like the magnetic attachments that come with it, and I'd point out that the magnets are strong enough to hold it in place regardless of the number of cables plugged in. My setup is multi VLAN with a mix of 100Mb, 1Gb and 2.5Gb links. That includes a static LAG with 2 ports in running traffic between floors (I'll switch that to LACP at some point, which is also supported) and also servicing a couple of virtualization hosts, NAS, media server etc. It seems to be packed with a good number of features; I've yet to test them all, but what I have seems to work without bugs, quirks or caveats. The web UI is simple and intuitive if you've used these things before. Lightweight and functional rather than over the top. You'll soon get things up and running (remember to save config after successful changes). It runs cool for me and should save power compared to my old one. Would definitely consider buying this brand again.

Bought this after reading reviews and im glad i did. Plug and play to set up. Only using it on 2.5gb network at the moment and it works great. I have managed to set up vlans as per my previous switch. Alot of settings in the menu but not all needed . Intention is to run 10G between my Desktop and server soon but such a great switch in a such small package well worth it

Nice Managed 2.5g SFP+ switch. UI is a bit outdated, but works perfectly fine. I have 2 of these connected via 10g fiber uplink and works as expected. I have configured VLANs and this also works as expected. Extremely good value for money

does everything quite well but the configuration interface is way outdated and saving running config can be tricky at times. so far very happy with the speeds.

Very nice upgrade.. Very happy ...must have..

Have this connecting a pair of 2.5Gb Ethernet connections to a 10Gb fibre backbone in my house. Speed wise, this thing is perfect for my needs. However, no matter how much I have tried, getting to the settings page for the managed switch settings has been futile. Yes I've been building networks for 30+ years and the rest of my house is running on Mikrotik devices connected with fibre to the Internet, so this should have been easy. This is running fine as an 'unmanageable' switch for me. I won't be buying another.
