The 'E' stands for managed, I never use management features except for checking the port status (nice to have, but LEDs give the same information) and in some particular, business-related configuration, to enable port mirroring. I haven't tried yet to set up a VLAN or configure QoS parameters, which I think would be the main reason to prefer a managed over a non-managed. |
