00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:13,960
today's unboxing is an eight Port gigabit switch from linkis and since

2
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:19,000
pretty much you know everyone knows you know

3
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:24,599
what links this is and what their value at is and since you know everyone pretty

4
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:30,359
much uh knows that there's not a whole lot of variation when it comes from

5
00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:34,280
switch to switch and other than basic Al power consumption and reliability I'm

6
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:37,680
just going to talk about more than anything else what you really need a

7
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:42,239
switch for so first of all let's see what lyus has to say for themselves

8
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:44,559
plugin play I certainly hope so 8 gbit

9
00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:50,320
ports okay up to 10 times faster yes than 1000 and qos enabled okay that's

10
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:55,800
kind of neat and power savings so yes this is more of a like a green smart

11
00:00:53,480 --> 00:01:00,399
power switch so smart power for short cable runs uh which basically turns down

12
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:04,439
the transmission power when it detects a short cable and auto power down disables

13
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:08,600
unused Port so that does help you consume less energy with your switch

14
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:13,600
than you otherwise would Port status switch gives you control over LED lights

15
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:18,560
neat okay Auto sensing ports work with 1 100 networks they better and you get

16
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:22,200
award-winning 24/7 support for the first 90 days so if you plug in your switch

17
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:27,000
and you're having trouble with it at least there's someone to call other than

18
00:01:24,759 --> 00:01:31,320
me you can call Cisco and they can help you you'd be surprised how many people

19
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:35,079
like message me me and ask me like stuff like you know my switch isn't working

20
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:38,640
what do I do and I'm like I don't know man I don't know your network I don't

21
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:44,439
know like what you're trying to do I don't know what kind of switch you

22
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:46,240
have yeah anyway comes with a power cord

23
00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:51,240
comes with this quick start guide comes with a product information

24
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:55,360
thing yeah I guess I wasn't really expecting much more to be included with

25
00:01:53,719 --> 00:02:01,920
this it's uh so what do you need a switch for so a switch is basically a

26
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:04,320
way of splitting in a more intelligent

27
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:09,640
manner a network connection so um I here perfect example is right

28
00:02:07,759 --> 00:02:15,160
here actually my okay my main Network Hub is in the other room so like one

29
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:20,040
room over there and uh what I have there is I have my modem from Shaw then I have

30
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:24,239
my router which has four ports and then I have a switch and that switch plugs

31
00:02:22,239 --> 00:02:27,560
into the power line kit that's going downstairs it plugs into the two

32
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,599
computers that are in that room I have a spare coming off when I need to plug

33
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:35,280
something in temporarily I have one that goes into the room on this side for my

34
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:39,239
Windows Home Server and I have one that comes actually here check this up right

35
00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:44,360
over here I have one that comes in through the wall Very elegantly by the

36
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:46,159
way that runs to this wireless router

37
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:49,120
right here now I'm no longer using this for its wireless capability I've

38
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:54,480
actually turned off the routing and turned off the wireless and I'm just using it as a switch because it's a four

39
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:58,040
port switch so that way I have one incoming I have one going out to the

40
00:02:56,599 --> 00:03:01,840
test bench and then I have one going out to my work laptop whenever I'm doing

41
00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:06,159
work work from home uh in this room so that's what a switch does you basically

42
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:10,000
take one gigabit backbone and then you run that out to a bunch of other gigabit

43
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:14,280
things so the way that these computers or devices are going to communicate with

44
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:18,319
each other is let's say your your uh connection to the main Network your main

45
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:22,040
gigabit network is through one that means that computer plugged into a

46
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:25,879
computer plugged into Port two can communicate via gigabit to that Network

47
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:29,840
however if you have three computers in ports 2 three and four and they all need

48
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:34,560
to communicate with something on the other side so through here then you're

49
00:03:31,799 --> 00:03:40,000
going to be limited to Total gigabit speed with three so that is sort of

50
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:44,239
theoretical 333 megabits per second however computer 2 could talk to

51
00:03:41,799 --> 00:03:48,159
computer 4 at full gigabit speed so what you're doing is you're you're creating

52
00:03:45,799 --> 00:03:53,239
like a sort of a a sub gigabit Network that then has one gigabit link to the

53
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:58,840
rest of your in theory fully gigabit Network okay so this is the se2800 it is

54
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:03,200
a pretty plain looking little box it's got a Cisco logo on the front it's got

55
00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:07,200
some ventilation holes all the way around the outside of the chassis it's

56
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:11,799
got a power indicator as well as power in and the ability to turn the lights on

57
00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:15,760
and off in theory okay it's got eight ports these are all gigabit as I've

58
00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:19,479
covered several times so far and it has ventilation on the bottom so we got

59
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,440
little feet here so that it sits a little bit off the table or floor or

60
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:26,199
wherever you put it and then you're going to have natural convection drawing

61
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:29,240
air through the bottom and then out the side so thank you for checking out my

62
