QNAP QSW-M408S - managed Layer 2 switch, white

The QNAP QSW-M408S is a Layer 2 managed switch featuring eight Gigabit RJ-45 ports and four 10GbE SFP+ fiber slots, designed for local network segmentation and high-speed uplinks to core infrastructure. It offers a switching capacity of 96 Gbit/s and a forwarding rate of 48 Mpps, allowing for full-bandwidth traffic across all ports without bottlenecks. The combination of copper and 10G interfaces makes it suitable for connecting standard office equipment to network-attached storage.

Housed in a white desktop chassis, this non-PoE switch is intended for flat surfaces rather than rack mounting. The fanless design ensures silent operation, making it suitable for quiet or open-plan workspaces. Administrators manage the device via a web-based GUI, which includes traffic control features such as Private VLANs, port-based VLANs, and Access Control Lists (ACLs). Quality of Service (QoS) and IGMP snooping help manage bandwidth-heavy multicast traffic. The unit is energy-efficient, with a typical power consumption of 12.17 W.

• MAC address table supports up to 16,000 entries for growing local networks.
• Jumbo frame support up to 9,000 bytes, improving throughput for large file transfers.
• Link aggregation and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) support for building redundant, fault-tolerant network topologies.
• Dedicated RJ-45 console port for direct, out-of-band management.
• Built-in DHCP client functionality for automatic IP address assignment during network deployment.
