SODOLA 8 Port 2.5G Web Managed PoE Switch 120W|1x10G SFP+&8 x 2.5G PoE Port

I picked up the Sodola SL-SWTGW0108P (Web managed, PoE, (8)x2.5G, (1)x10G SFP) for my home lab, and for the price, it’s hard to beat the feature set. Pros: - Excellent features-to-price ratio – you get a lot of switch for the money. - mGig support with smooth auto-negotiation up to 2.5Gbps. - 10G SFP+ based uplink port that auto-negotiated flawlessly with my upstream Cisco 3560CX. Tested with multiple cables/SFPs (Cisco 10G DAC, Cisco 10G SR and Intel 10G SR SFPs using OM3 MM fiber) – all worked without issue. - PoE+ on all 8 copper ports, with PoE++ on port 1 for higher-power devices. - Fully managed with a solid feature set: spanning-tree (CST/RSTP), LACP, VLANs/Trunks, QoS, Jumbo Frames, etc.. - Works perfectly with the PoE+ powered Ubiquiti U7 Pro AP with 2.5G uplink, delivering ~1.2Gbps for WiFi 7 clients during iPerf3 testing. - Wired 2.5G clients hit ~2.2Gbps sustained during iPerf3 testing. - Connected to a HUNSN N100 OPNsense firewall via 2.5Gbps links (Intel I226-V) – all auto-negotiated fine, with stable throughput (~2.2Gbps). - Connected to a YANLING YL-CLUL2 Proxmox host using Intel I210 1Gbps NICs. - Responsive support – they quickly provided firmware assistance (though oddly, a downgrade from v1.9.2 to v1.9.1). Cons: - The web GUI is buggy. Early firmware wouldn’t allow changing the admin password. Fixed with provided v1.9.1 firmware. - Web GUI is CGI based, and is HTTP only. If you care, segment it and don't expose this to the internet, not that you should be doing that anyway. I have it in a /30 dedicated VLAN terminated at my firewall. - Over time, the GUI becomes inaccessible due to MAC address aging, requiring multiple reload attempts to reconnect. This could be seen as a pro, as the thing doesn't speak unless spoken to. - Still too early to comment on thermals or long-term reliability. - The backups are exported as a .bin file and can't be viewed/manipulated externally. - Documentation is a bit lacking and can be unclear in certain sections, making it difficult to fill in the blanks if you aren't experienced with the specific technology/feature. This was especially evident when configuring VLANs and associating them with access or trunk ports. Bottom line: For the price, this switch punches well above its weight. It’s not perfect – the web GUI quirks are frustrating – but the hardware performance and feature set are excellent. I’d recommend it for home labs or SOHO deployments where you want enterprise-like features without the enterprise price tag. *Disclaimer: I ran my word salad review through AI for formatting and refinement. I am real, so is this review.

Got it with firmware issues, the switch didn't work

Had two of these fail with intermittent packet loss. One returned to the manufacturer just inside warranty, the second one failed in about the same amount of time.

90W POE給電できてWebUIがあるのが選んだ理由です。 ファンレスモデルなので設置場所を考慮したポートLEDをOFFする機能があります。 L2設定項目は多く、セグメントを分けるなど使い勝手は良さそうですがホスト名が変更できないのが唯一残念です。 ダムハブモードもあるので、よくあるプラグインでも使えます。

Working great for several months, only issue I had was unable to change the default password... It would just change back to default however I don't find that to big a problem as this is just on Ian

Alles genau wie beschrieben und funktioniert ohne Probleme, perfekt.

Il prodotto risulta esteriormente ben costruito e robusto. Spesso si impalla e le velocità di transito scendono a 10MB si risolve con un restart. Configurando una LAG a 2.5Gb randomicamente una delle due porte si allinea ad 1G ed ovviamente la velocità scende. Interfaccia Web esteticamente minimale, ma presenta tutte le possibilità di configurazione

Ich bewerte hier folgenden Switch: 8 Port 2.5G Web Managed PoE Switch 120W|1X 10G SFP+&4 x 2.5GBase-T PoE Ports, Max 90W PoE Output, IEEE802.3af/at/bt, Desktop&Wandmontage 2.5GbE Managed PoE Netzwerk Switch Als jemand, der einen schnellen 2.5G PoE-Switch mit 10G SFP+ Uplink gesucht hat, war die Hardware-Ausstattung (SL-SWTGW0108P-D, Hardware V1.05) echt vielversprechend. 2.5GBASE-T Ports, starkes PoE (120W) und der 10G SFP+ Port – theoretisch alles super für moderne Netzwerke. Aber die Firmware (V1.9.2, Nov 21 2024) macht alles kaputt: Der Super-GAU: Versucht man, den Benutzernamen oder das Passwort im Web-Interface zu ändern, fliegt man raus und kommt nicht mehr rein. Das Gerät sperrt einen permanent aus! Das ist ein massives Sicherheitsrisiko und macht das Managed-Feature nutzlos. Support-Fehlanzeige: Der Sodola-Support meldet sich trotz des kritischen Problems überhaupt nicht. Kein Patch, keine Hilfe. Fazit & Wichtiger Security-Tipp an die Community: Die Hardware ist Top, keine Frage. Aber die mangelhafte, fehlerhafte Firmware und der nicht existierende Support machen den Kauf zu einem reinen Ärgernis. 🚨 Wichtiger Tipp, falls ihr ihn trotzdem behaltet: Blockiert die IP-Adresse des Switches unbedingt in eurem Router/eurer Firewall! Stellt sicher, dass das Ding kein Internet sieht (Outbound/Inbound blocken). Das schützt euch vor weiteren unentdeckten Lücken, da die fehlerhafte Firmware einfach nicht vertrauenswürdig ist. Bewertung: 1 von 5 Sternen (Wegen des kritischen Mangels, der eine Nutzung unmöglich macht).
