Binardat 12 Port 10 Gigabit SFP Managed Switch, Support 1G & 10G SFP+ Module, 240Gbps Bandwidth, L3 Web/CLI Managed, Metal Fiber Network Switch

We bought it to expand the amount of ports for Ethernet connections we need for our equipments. Now all our TVs and outdoor cameras are hard wired to internet instead of working with WIFi and solar panels for batteries (cameras) It worked perfectly for my household.

There is no management port, but Telnet and HTTP are both live at 192.168.2.1. The OS is a stripped down version of Cisco's CLI. If you know how to configure a Cisco, you can configure this switch.There are differences, but they don't affect this as a switch.This is my third router/switch from Binardat and I expect to buy more.Note! If you are going to use a DAC, you must set the media type of the Ethernet interface.

I purchased two of these 12-port 10GbE SFP+ managed switches as the backbone for my home network and main server switch, connecting to an OPNsense firewall and trunking VLANs to other switches. The switch itself is a solid piece of hardware with great specs for the value.The biggest challenge is that Binardat provides no detailed CLI reference guide of its own that I could find on my own. The included documentation is minimal, and their website lacks the technical manuals needed for advanced configuration; which is also probably the reason for some of the confusion in the comments imo. Thus, a 4-star rather than a 5-star review.However, after extensive research, I can confirm this Binardat switch is a hardware and software near-clone of the Planet XGS-6311-12X. This discovery is a game-changer, as the official Planet manuals are excellent and cover about 95% of this switch's functionality. For comprehensive documentation, I highly recommend searching online for the "Planet XGS-6311-12X CLI Manual" and "Planet XGS-6311-12X User Guide".Attached Photos:A look inside the Binardat switch confirms it's built with quality, industry-renowned name-brand components. The main switch controller is a Realtek RTL8231, the same family of chips used in many commercial enterprise switches. The firmware is stored on a GigaDevice flash memory chip, a publicly traded company. This switch also contains Texas Instrument logic gate chips. Warning: opening the switch voids the warranty - but I had to look!Undocumented Bonus Features on the Binardat:What's most interesting is that this Binardat firmware includes a significant number of additional, undocumented commands not found in the PLANET guide, suggesting a more feature-rich version of the software. For advanced users, these are a welcome surprise. The extra CLI config commands include:Advanced Security:copp-policy-map (Control Plane Policing)dosattack-checkport-scan-modeAdvanced Networking & Diagnostics:fib (Forwarding Information Base)fulleaps (a proprietary ring protocol)L3-station-movelocal-arptcam (for viewing ACL/QoS hardware memory)port-redirectHardware & Vendor-Specific:onvif (for IP camera integration)rps-power (for a Redundant Power Supply)button-resetshow temperatureshow assetshow sn (serial number)System & General Config:backup (for running-config status)baudratednsformatpublic-keyuserpasswordvlan-port-redirectvlan-trunk-rangeFeatures NOT Included:Conversely, be aware that features mentioned in the PLANET guide for their PoE models (like all power inline commands) are not present here, as this is not a PoE switch.A Key to Success: SFP/SFP+ TransceiversLike many enterprise switch brands, this unit can be particular about the transceivers it fully recognizes. Here's a breakdown of what that means and what worked for me:Vendor Whitelisting is Key: Many switches have a "whitelist" in their firmware, meaning they are programmed to fully recognize and trust transceivers that identify as a specific brand (like Cisco, Juniper, etc.). Modules not on this list may work but can report as "OEM" or "Unsupported" and might not display full diagnostic data (DDM).What Worked Perfectly: I had 100% success with genuine, secondhand Cisco-branded transceivers, which are very affordable on the secondary market.For 10GbE Fiber: Cisco SFP-10G-SR modules were recognized perfectly, showing the manufacturer, serial number, and full diagnostic details as expected.For 1GbE Copper: Cisco SFP-GE-T modules also worked flawlessly for 1-gigabit connections over standard network cables.What Partially Worked: I also tested a brand new 10-pack of 10Gtek 10GBase-SR SFP+ transceivers (the popular model advertised as being compatible with Cisco SFP-10G-SR). While these modules passed traffic without any issue, the switch did not fully recognize them. It identified them as generic "OEM" modules and constantly reported "RX loss of signal" and "RX power low" alarms in the diagnostics, even with a perfectly stable link. The genuine, secondhand Cisco modules did not have this issue.My strong recommendation is to use secondhand, Cisco-coded transceivers to ensure full compatibility and accurate diagnostic reporting from this switch.A quick note on the fans: this switch has active cooling, which is a major plus for the longevity of a high-performance 10G switch. The trade-off is fan noise, so just plan to locate this unit in a server room or network closet where noise isn't a concern.Bottom line: This is a fantastic switch for the price, but it's best for those comfortable with a command-line interface (CLI).Pro-Tip for an Easy Setup Workflow:To get started, I connected directly to the switch's console port using a common FTDI USB to RJ45 Console Cable (which requires a quick FTDI driver download). I used the free, public domain TERA TERM software for my terminal (because PUTTY didn't work) with the standard settings: 9600 speed, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.For the most efficient configuration, I used Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro as a setup assistant. I uploaded the PLANET switch's CLI reference manual and described my goals (e.g., "this will be a main backbone switch for my lab, connecting to a firewall and trunking these specific VLANs"). Gemini then asked clarifying questions about my needs before generating a complete CLI configuration script. I simply copy-pasted this script directly into the TERA TERM terminal window, which made the complex initial setup incredibly fast and straightforward.Important CLI Difference for SFP+ Ports:This process also highlighted the most critical difference you MUST know. The PLANET manual does not contain the 'media-type' config command, which is essential for configuring the 10G fiber ports on this Binardat switch. An online AI assistant using only the PLANET manual won't know to add this. For every SFP+ port you intend to use with a 10G fiber transceiver, you must manually add the media-type fiber-10g command for the link to be configured properly.Here is an example of a working trunk port configuration:! --- PORT CONFIGURATION EXAMPLE ---interface ethernet 1/0/1description "TRUNK to LAN Switch 40.11"media-type fiber-10gswitchport mode trunkswitchport trunk allowed vlan allexit

Small 10G switch perfect for home NAS with SSDs. The 4 + 4 port setup seems to be unique on the market at time of launch, and is convenient for Link Aggregation with multiple clients.Note: I can't confirm this is a full L3 switch.Pros:- It's quiet. The case, heatsink, and fan seem to be redesigned.- The user interface is an upgrade over the cheapest switches.Con:- HTTP management is enabled by default and insecure. Immediately switch to HTTPS and disable HTTP.

This review is for the 8-Port 10G L3 Managed Fiber Switch 10G08-0800GSM. I have 3 different 10G SFP switches and this is the only one I didn't get to work.Pros:* Very compactCons:* Does not properly boot up. I can't access the web portal on 192.168.2.1 with a direct connection to the laptop which is not connected to any other network. Arp -a doesn't show the switch. The SFP module and Ethernet cable are known to be good as they work on other switches.* Gets very hot, probably because it is so compact.* Out of 4 different SFP+ ETH modules only one worked (though other switches had the same issue). Only the 10Gtek ASF-10G-T worked. I have a feeling the switch doesn't work with Broadcom chips. The following SFP+ modules didn't work: 10Gtek ASF-10G-T80, tp-link SM5310-T, ASFPTEK AT-SFP-10G-T-80* It takes 28 seconds for the SYS LED to start blinking. This is very consistent. According to the manual, a blinking SYS LED means "Starting". So that means it does not start booting for 28s. Every other switch starts booting as soon as it gets power.* It takes 52 seconds for the connected SFP ports to be recognized. The second worst switch took 36 seconds, i.e. 16 seconds faster.* The status LEDs are below the ports. If you want to check the LEDs and the switch is not above eye level, you have to tilt it up or lift it up to see the LEDs.

Simple hookup. Needed 10 ports so this is working fine with 100 and gigabit connections. Didnt need the vlan and uplink option. Metal case. Fine quality. Amazing price.

Absolutely worth it if you’re attempting to connect multiple non poe devices. For my setup I am using it for my Pc, Sonos home theater system, and cellular devices all of which can detect and recognize the switch. Not to mention it doesn’t get hot or lose speed whileRunning all port connections for hours. I’m very impressed just how efficient and responsive this switch was and setting it up was simple, just Plug and Play!
