To determine if a switch is managed or unmanaged, check for an IP address, web interface, or command-line access, which are typically present in managed switches for configuration and monitoring. Managed switches often have features like VLAN support, SNMP, and QoS settings, whereas unmanaged switches lack these capabilities and do not allow for user configuration. Additionally, the product documentation or labels may specify whether a switch is managed or unmanaged.
