More 10GbE ports and more space-saving at an affordable price. The QNAP QSW-M3216R-8S8T is a half-width rackmount L2 Managed Switch with eight 10GbE SFP+ fiber ports and eight 10GbE RJ45 ports. Supporting Layer 2 switching and network management via a user-friendly web user interface, the QSW-M3216R-8S8T offers flexible deployment in high-speed network environments and provides an entry-level network management solution. With a half-width design, the QSW-M3216R-8S8T can be conveniently placed within working environments without taking up too much space, and two can be installed in a single 1U rack space. The QSW-M3216R-8S8T is made in Taiwan (MIT), providing a high-quality and reliable networking solution.

10GbE

  • 10G Multi-Gig connectivity

    Includes eight 10GbE RJ45 and eight 10GbE SFP+ fiber ports for connecting different interfaces.

  • User-friendly management interface

    The QNAP Switch System (QSS) is easy to use and provides an overview dashboard, port management and setting guide, making central network management intuitive.

  • Layer 2 network

    Provides Layer 2 management features (such as LACP, VLAN, ACL and LLDP) for IT staff to efficiently control network bandwidth and enhance security.

  • RSTP

    One of the few web-managed switches that supports Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP). Easily and efficiently deploy small/medium-scale networks that support expansion, redundancy, and loop prevention.

  • Online firmware update

    QSS can be updated with just one click, helping IT staff ensure their network security.

  • Flow Control

    Compliant with IEEE802.3x Flow Control in full-duplex mode, the QSW-M3216R-8S8T avoids packet loss from unparalleled bandwidth.

Half-width design, two models in 1U

With a half-width rackmount design, a QSW-M3216R-8S8T can be installed in a 1U rack space with another half-width rackmount switch (such as QSW-3216R-8S8T) for efficient physical space utilization and tidy cabling.

Note: The optional SP-EAR-QSW2FOR1-01 rackmount kit is required if two half-width rackmount switches are installed.

Flexible deployment with sixteen 10GbE SFP+ and RJ45 ports

The QSW-M3216R-8S8T provides eight 10GbE SFP+ ports and eight 10GbE RJ45 ports for connecting various devices and enabling high-speed networks. With SFP+ interfaces, Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables can be used for connecting directly to SFP+ devices. You can also use RJ45 ports to connect 10GBASE-T/NBASE-T™ devices through RJ45 Category 6 (or better) cabling.

Note: 10GbE SFP+ ports are backward compatible with 1GbE SFP; the 10GbE RJ45 ports support up to five speeds (10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M).

Dependable performance with effective heat dissipation

With a compact metal body that optimizes cooling performance, the QSW-M3216R-8S8T provides stable and reliable operations even when under full load. The front-panel LEDs also assist in viewing the current system status.

QSS: Human-centered settings guide

The QSW-M3216R-8S8T uses the QNAP Switch System (QSS), featuring an easy-to-use Web GUI with Layer 2 management and value-added functions to simplify network set up and management.

Optimize network performance with bandwidth and packet control

The QSW-M3216R-8S8T provides bandwidth and packet control functions (such as LACP, VLAN, QoS, and IGMP Snooping) to boost network performance through IP grouping and bandwidth management.

  • LACP

    Link Aggregation combines multiple network connections to increase throughput and protect against connection failure.

  • VLAN

    Virtual Networks allows groups of devices from different networks to be combined into a single network.

  • QoS

    QoS (Quality of Service) prioritizes bandwidth usage to optimize network resource allocation.

  • IGMP Snooping

    IGMP snooping assists in minimizing bandwidth loss and preventing network information leakage.

Powerful security and system functions

The QSW-M3216R-8S8T has powerful security and system functions (including ACL, LLDP, RSTP and Flow Control) to help administrators enhance network reliability using access controls, troubleshooting, loop prevention and avoiding packet loss.

  • ACL

    Filters packets based on rules to offer firewall-like security protection.

  • LLDP

    Allows devices to advertise device information to directly-connected peers/neighbors to simplify troubleshooting processes.

  • RSTP

    Ensures loop-free topology for Ethernet networks by blocking or forwarding traffic.

  • Flow Control

    Balances traffic between a sender and a receiver to avoid network congestion.
