• 5GbE
• 2.5GbE
• 1GbE
• 100Mbps

This enables gradual migration to faster network speeds without replacing existing cabling or connected equipment.

Comprehensive Layer 2 Management

The intuitive web-based management interface provides extensive Layer 2 networking capabilities suitable for SMB and enterprise environments.

Features include:

• IEEE 802.1Q VLAN
• Link Aggregation (LACP)
• Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
• Quality of Service (QoS)
• Access Control Lists (ACL)
• LLDP
• IGMP Snooping v2
• Jumbo Frames (9KB)
• Port mirroring
• Broadcast storm control
• Cable diagnostics
• Port monitoring and traffic statistics

These capabilities help optimise network performance, improve security and simplify administration.

Ideal for High-Speed Storage and Virtualisation

The QSW-M3212R-8S4T is designed to support bandwidth-intensive business applications, including:

• QNAP NAS deployments
• VMware, Hyper-V and Proxmox clusters
