[clug] [OT] Managed desktop switches?

I'm looking for a 5 or 8 port managed switch.  It needs to support:
 - 100Mbs Ethernet,
 - 802.1q VLAN,
 - Port-based VLAN,
 - port mirroring,
 - in-band management (ie: telnet or web interface, not serial or other custom socket)

Bonus if it happens to support fetching a configuration using TFTP based on DHCP parameters :)

Budget is under $200.

One that I've looked at which seems reasonable is the Linksys SLM2005[1], but it's been end-of-lifed. Another contender is the Netgear ProSafe® GS105E[2] though its inband configuration requires using a configuration utility which is Windows-only.
