Is this a managed switch?

I am not sure what that means. I have all my communication CAT 6 lines terminated into a rack and from there to this Switch. Makes some noise, but no complaints. I do not access this Switch via a browser. All communication is directly with the MoDem.

Yes. The software is in the kit. all you need is a power source which is your switch.

No, this is not a switch you can configure. No management interface. It has some built in QOS, but again not configurable, it is pre defined packet inspection.

No, this switch is pretty basic. I believe this switch is for home and small (really small) office use. Cool tool to use for learning routing and switching but not for big time configuration. Hope it helps.

Yes. When you order the switch, you choose the configuration. You want the constant on- constant off- constant on configuration. Worked great for me.

Sorry, but this switch is part of your home network. As long as your router is secured properly it is as secure as your remaining home network.

I do not know, the case seems to be too small for a physical switch and I do not hear anything mechanical when switching between computers so I'm guessing it's electronic switching.

These switches are for the power connection only and have no relevance to data. The data connection does not run through these switches. Your data connection depends on the hard drive and the motherboard (or SATA card) to which they are connected.

Yes, that is what I'm doing. Many devices plugged into the switch, switch plugged into the MoCA adapter. On the other end is another MoCA adapter plugged into the router.

No, this is a switch not a router. The ports can be managed over the network but the switch itsself can not issue IP addresses.

This unit is not a switch. It adds power to the cable but you need to connect the LAN ports to a regular switch and the POE ports to the devices to be powered.

Yes as this is an unmanaged switch just think of it as an ethernet splitter

Yes on the switch. Don't know on the difference. Have been very happy with the operation of the unit.

I don't think so. It has a USB port for downloading data. To activate the menu that allows for download to happen, a person with admin rights has to access the menu. There is software that allows for data to be dumped directly into your computer. I'm not aware of any firmware within the unit that would enable external switch activity.

So this is more of a corporate unmanaged switch than the one you've listed. The status lights are on the front by the Ethernet cables and the power is on the rear. The layout is exactly the same as this, though without the PoE functionality. http://www.amazon.com/Cisco-SYSTEMS-8-Port-Gigabit-SG100D-08P-NA/dp/B007UQROJC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1400542738&sr=8-2&keywords=cisco+sg100-8. If you're looking for a reliable unmanaged switch, this is a good option. It's been very stable for me so far.

I think you meant "trunking" VLANS. I do not think it does because this is a very simple, "dumb" switch. It has no management interface or other features, it only does simple switching. I could be wrong, but I would assume it does NOT have the feature and look elsewhere if that is something you require.

Yes. The switch is plug and play out of the box - in my case it was "wire the Comcast modem to the Barracuda VPN and then wire the VPN to the switch"... No config necessary on the switch side - just on the VPN, as expected.
