The main difference between the managed and unmanaged switches is the fact that managed switches can help configure and troubleshoot a network while unmanaged switches do not. Fully managed Ethernet switches can offer features such as port monitoring, traffic monitoring, prioritization of channels, the ability to be part of a ring topology, and more. They use specific software to manage, which can sometimes be done remotely through a web browser. Unmanaged Ethernet switches provide a simple way to set up network communication. They usually have plug and play capability, as there are no settings to configure.
