A managed network switch is a type of network switch that offers more control and configuration options than an unmanaged switch. Managed network switches are typically used in corporate environments, and allow network administrators to configure the switch to suit their needs. They allow for advanced features such as port security, VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), Spanning Tree Protocol, Quality of Service, Access Control Lists, and more. In addition, they often provide features such as port monitoring, traffic analysis, and other network management features.
