A managed switch = a switch that can be managed. Usually comes with the ability to create and assign ports to VLANs and create aggregated port groups alongside rate limiting and whatever other functionality, else there's little point in being able to manage the thing.
An SNMP server isn't required, though it's certainly desirable.
