Figures are SonicWall’s published SWS12 and SWS14 Series specifications (datasheet Switch-COG-US-4490).
A SonicWall switch is managed from a SonicWall firewall or from Network Security Manager, so the management licence is not optional in practice — the "switch only" part numbers are for sites that already hold one.
SWS12-8
Eight gigabit ports and two SFP slots in a fanless desktop box, for a small office that wants its switch managed from the firewall.
Where the SWS12-8 fits
The smallest switch in the range and the quietest: no fan, no PoE, 5.7 W. It exists so a small office can bring its switch under the same management as its firewall rather than running an unmanaged box beside it. Ten interfaces is the practical ceiling, and without PoE any access point or phone needs its own power. The SWS12-8POE is the same switch with 802.3af on every port.
