In addition to the network switches mentioned in Audinate's "list of incompatible, unmanaged switches with Energy Efficient Ethernet," the following switches are not compatible with Shure Dante enabled devices. Additionally, any unmanaged switches with EEE or Green Energy Efficient Ethernet should not be used for Dante networks.
Netgear
All ProSafe unmanaged switches, including but not limited to:
- FS105, 108, 108P, 116, and 116P (not Gigabit)
- GS105, 108, 110, 116, MX, E and PE models (unmanaged)
- GSS108, 116, E and EPP models (unmanaged)
- GS and FS305, 308, 316, 324, 605NA, 750E (some not gigabit, all are unmanaged)
- JFS516, 524 (not Gigabit)
- JGS516, 524, E and PE models (IGMP Querier does not function correctly)
Crestron
- CEN-SW-POE-5 (per Crestron)
- CEN-SWPOE-16 (per Crestron)
NOTE: This is not an exhaustive list. Switch models and firmware updates occur frequently.
We strongly recommend using Managed Gigabit Ethernet switches. For example: NETGEAR M4250-series (including M4250-series supplied by Crestron) and M4300-series, Cisco SG350 series, D-Link DGS-1210 series (F1 Hardware), Cisco Catalyst, and Extreme Networks enterprise-grade switches.
