The 2700 series will function as a manged or unmanaged switch. By default it is unmanaged but you can boot into managed mode by using the management button. This switch does not have SNMP but it does implement RMON which is more robust than SNMP and can be used for troubleshooting and monitoring. It also supports link aggregation so you can bond mutiple trunks together and therefore increase the avalable bandwidth to and from the switch over those trunks. It also does support VLANs and port mirroring. The reviews on this series look to be good.
