Hardware Overview of the Switch
®
The NETGEAR Nighthawk
SX10 Pro Gaming Advanced 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
with 2-Ports 10-Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit Ethernet (GS810EMX), in this manual referred to
as the switch, provides eight Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 10 Gigabit/Multi-Gig
Ethernet ports. The switch provides high-speed (up to 10G) and high-performance
switching for multiplayer, online, or VR gaming and 4K resolution HD and UHD
(ultra-high-definition) television media streaming.
To facilitate traffic segmentation, you can group ports in VLANs using either port-based
or 802.1Q criteria. With one click you can optimize settings for gaming, media steaming,
and standard networking, but you can also manually optimize Quality of Service (QoS)
and set up prioritization and rate limiting for individual ports. You can view upload and
download times for individual gaming devices and block or give high priority to any
such devices. The switch supports IGMP snooping for multicast operation and link
aggregation for a connection to link aggregation–enabled devices such as ReadyNAS.
