LevelOne Hilbert 8-Port Gigabit PoE Smart Lite Switch, 802.3at/af PoE, 8 PoE Outputs, 112.8W PoE Power Budget

The LevelOne Hilbert GES-2108P is an 8-port managed Gigabit PoE+ smart lite switch designed for small to medium-sized business networks. It provides eight 10/100/1000 RJ45 ports with IEEE 802.3at/af PoE support and a total power budget of 112.8W. The switch offers a 16 Gbit/s switching capacity and a 4000-entry MAC address table, delivering reliable wired connectivity with full-duplex operation and compatibility with standard Windows and Mac discovery tools when used with the LevelOne IP Locator.

Advantages

The GES-2108P combines managed switching features with PoE+ power delivery, enabling centralized supply to access devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points. Its support for IEEE 802.3at/af standards and 112.8W total PoE budget allows multiple powered devices to operate simultaneously. Hardware performance and environmental flexibility make it suitable for business deployments requiring simple management and predictable network behavior.

How to use

Install the GES-2108P on a stable surface or in a rack if appropriate, connect power and network uplink to the designated ports, and attach PoE devices to the RJ45 ports. Use the LevelOne IP Locator software to discover the switch on Windows or Mac systems and retrieve its IP address and basic status. Configure VLANs, QoS, and PoE settings through the switch management interface according to your network design.

Recommendations

Place the switch in a ventilated location and ensure total PoE load does not exceed 112.8W. Plan PoE allocation per port to match the power requirements of connected devices and use the management features to implement VLAN segmentation and QoS for predictable performance.
