Overview
What unmanaged switches are used for
An unmanaged switch forwards traffic automatically with no configuration interface at all. Where a network segment just needs more ports — a desk cluster, a classroom, a shop counter — an unmanaged switch is the lowest-cost, zero-skill way to add them.
The Lysora unmanaged range covers 5 to 24 gigabit ports in fanless desktop metal bodies and rackmount formats. Auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX mean any cable in any port works.
Typical buyers are resellers moving volume into retail and SOHO channels, and integrators using unmanaged edges under a managed aggregation layer to keep project costs controlled.

Buying Guide
How to choose an unmanaged switch
Unmanaged switches are simple, but four checks keep the choice right the first time.
Port count with headroom
Count devices and add two spare ports. Between sizes, the larger model usually costs less than a second switch later.
Gigabit, not Fast Ethernet
The price difference between 10/100 and gigabit is now small; gigabit removes the bottleneck for file copies, backups, and 4K streams.
Desktop vs rackmount
Desktop metal bodies suit shelves and counters. Choose 19-inch rackmount where the switch lives in a cabinet with other equipment.
Know when unmanaged is wrong
If the segment needs VLANs, loop protection you can see, or remote monitoring, step up to a managed switch — retrofitting management later means replacing the unit.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between managed and unmanaged switches?
An unmanaged switch forwards traffic automatically with no configuration options. A managed switch adds VLANs, QoS, ACLs, and monitoring through web, CLI, or SNMP interfaces. Unmanaged suits simple port expansion; managed suits segmented or centrally monitored networks.
See managed switchesCan I mix unmanaged switches with managed switches?
Yes — it is the standard cost-optimised design: managed switches at aggregation points, unmanaged at simple desktop clusters. Keep VLAN trunks between managed devices only, because unmanaged switches pass VLAN tags without enforcing them.
Do unmanaged switches cause network loops?
An unmanaged switch has no spanning tree, so a cable looped between two of its ports can flood the segment. Basic discipline — one uplink per switch — avoids it; where accidental loops are likely, use a managed switch with loop protection.
What is the price of unmanaged switches in India?
Unmanaged switch pricing depends on port count and body type, with bulk-pack dealer slabs for resellers. Send the model mix and quantities you stock and receive dealer pricing within 24 working hours.
