There's a few different tiers of managed: - Web smart switch (limited features like vlans, light qos, trunking, maybe some mirroring, etc.) - L2 fully managed (300 page manual) - L3 fully managed (same as above but with some layer 3 features added)
Then above this there are more specialized switches like datacenter (open compute or just managed switches with added features like SPB or Trill, etc.) or maybe Metro ethernet switches that have some special stuff for that segment.
