The main difference between the Netgear MS305E (MS305E-100EUS) and the Netgear MS305-100EUS lies in the Management and functions:
- The MS305E is an Easy Smart Managed Switch with functions such as VLAN, QoS, Link Aggregation, IGMP Snooping, DoS protection and a web-based management interface. It supports a switching capacity of around 25 Gbit/s and has a MAC address table of 4,000 entries.
- The MS305-100EUS is an unmanaged switch, i.e. without Management functions, with similar 5 ports and multi-gigabit speeds (2.5 Gbit/s). It offers a switching capacity of around 40 Gbit/s and a larger MAC address table (16,000 entries), but is purely plug-and-play with no configuration options.
To summarise: The MS305E offers advanced management and security features, while the MS305-100EUS is a simple unmanaged switch with higher switching capacity. Both have 5 ports with 2.5Gbit/s support, but differ in the range of functions and Management.
