managed has a control function (usually through a web browser) and you can change parameters on individual ports, such as half or full duplex and different speeds. You can also clone ports to sniff traffic on a managed switch.

Basically a managed switch typically allows you such options as VLANS, QOS, etc. Things like controlling the bandwidth to certain ports, virtual subnetting at the physical (MAC address) layer, changing the 10/100 & half/full duplex settings for certain ports or turning them off completely.
Whereas an unmanaged switch is pretty much dumb or auto in these regards and treats all ports equal.

A managed switch should not be confused with a configurable switch. Almost all newer switches are configurable.
A managed switch contains a MIB (Management Information Block) that allows it to be remotely monitored and managed by an enterprise manager (like OpenView) using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).
An un-managed switch must be monitored and/or controlled manually via an on-board panel or embedded HTTP page using a web browser.

managed switches have a lot more capabilities than unmanaged switches. with an unmanaged switch it you are pretty much stuck with 10/100 Mb full-half duplex auto sensing switch ports and that's it. with a managed switch you might have SMTP, STP, VLAN, QoS, RMON capabilities and many others.

in general protection and high quality of provider. A controlled change facilitates to to enable or disable guy or woman ports, specify that purely particular MAC addresses could connect by potential of way of a definite port, or you are able to manually tension selection of a definite speed - automated negotiation isn't consistently infallible. link aggregation could enable for diverse redundant links between instruments for extra bandwidth, and isn't any longer available on an unmonitored change.
