@ssstw1 Hey,

Regret to tell you that the answer is no. You can think of it this way. Assuming that TL-SG108PE can be upgraded to a managed switch through firmware, what is the point of the enterprise producing managed switch ? Why should customers spend more money to buy managed switches ? So the answer is no.

@Yannie Got it, thank you... there was a cycle where they did upgrade a number of legacy switches to Managed via firmware upgrade, so was just wondering if this specific swicth made it into that program.  Sounds like it did not.  Thanks again!
