00:00:07.279 --> 00:00:13.960
today's unboxing is an eight Port gigabit switch from linkis and since

00:00:13.120 --> 00:00:19.000
pretty much you know everyone knows you know

00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:24.599
what links this is and what their value at is and since you know everyone pretty

00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:30.359
much uh knows that there's not a whole lot of variation when it comes from

00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:34.280
switch to switch and other than basic Al power consumption and reliability I'm

00:00:32.680 --> 00:00:37.680
just going to talk about more than anything else what you really need a

00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:42.239
switch for so first of all let's see what lyus has to say for themselves

00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:44.559
plugin play I certainly hope so 8 gbit

00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:50.320
ports okay up to 10 times faster yes than 1000 and qos enabled okay that's

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

00:00:53.480 --> 00:01:00.399
power switch so smart power for short cable runs uh which basically turns down

00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:04.439
the transmission power when it detects a short cable and auto power down disables

00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:08.600
unused Port so that does help you consume less energy with your switch

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:13.600
than you otherwise would Port status switch gives you control over LED lights

00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:18.560
neat okay Auto sensing ports work with 1 100 networks they better and you get

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

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:27.000
and you're having trouble with it at least there's someone to call other than

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

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

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

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

00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:46.240
have yeah anyway comes with a power cord

00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:51.240
comes with this quick start guide comes with a product information

00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:55.360
thing yeah I guess I wasn't really expecting much more to be included with

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

00:01:57.880 --> 00:02:04.320
way of splitting in a more intelligent

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:09.640
manner a network connection so um I here perfect example is right

00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:15.160
here actually my okay my main Network Hub is in the other room so like one

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

00:02:17.480 --> 00:02:24.239
my router which has four ports and then I have a switch and that switch plugs

00:02:22.239 --> 00:02:27.560
into the power line kit that's going downstairs it plugs into the two

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

00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:35.280
something in temporarily I have one that goes into the room on this side for my

00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:39.239
Windows Home Server and I have one that comes actually here check this up right

00:02:36.959 --> 00:02:44.360
over here I have one that comes in through the wall Very elegantly by the

00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:46.159
way that runs to this wireless router

00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:49.120
right here now I'm no longer using this for its wireless capability I've

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

00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:58.040
port switch so that way I have one incoming I have one going out to the

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

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

00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:10.000
take one gigabit backbone and then you run that out to a bunch of other gigabit

00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:14.280
things so the way that these computers or devices are going to communicate with

00:03:11.640 --> 00:03:18.319
each other is let's say your your uh connection to the main Network your main

00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:22.040
gigabit network is through one that means that computer plugged into a

00:03:20.640 --> 00:03:25.879
computer plugged into Port two can communicate via gigabit to that Network

00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:29.840
however if you have three computers in ports 2 three and four and they all need

00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:34.560
to communicate with something on the other side so through here then you're

00:03:31.799 --> 00:03:40.000
going to be limited to Total gigabit speed with three so that is sort of

00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:44.239
theoretical 333 megabits per second however computer 2 could talk to

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

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

00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:58.840
rest of your in theory fully gigabit Network okay so this is the se2800 it is

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

00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:07.200
some ventilation holes all the way around the outside of the chassis it's

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

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

00:04:13.519 --> 00:04:19.479
covered several times so far and it has ventilation on the bottom so we got

00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:22.440
little feet here so that it sits a little bit off the table or floor or

00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:26.199
wherever you put it and then you're going to have natural convection drawing

00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:29.240
air through the bottom and then out the side so thank you for checking out my

00:04:27.479 --> 00:04:34.800
