QNAP QSW-M1208-8C - Managed Switch, Black

The QNAP QSW-M1208-8C is a managed Layer 2 switch designed for high-speed local networks. This non-PoE model features 12 ports in total, comprising four dedicated 10G SFP+ slots and eight 10GbE combo ports for fiber or RJ-45 copper connections. With a 240 Gbit/s switching capacity, the unit handles heavy traffic loads without bottlenecks. This throughput supports bandwidth-intensive applications such as virtualization hosts and network-attached storage. As a managed Layer 2 switch, it allows administrators to control traffic directly rather than relying on standard plug-and-play operation.

The chassis is designed for rack-mounting in standard server cabinets. Administrators can manage network settings via a web interface or locally through an RS-232 console port. Spanning Tree Protocol and access control lists (ACLs) support system stability and access management. Port-based VLAN functionality and IGMP snooping ensure efficient segmentation and multicast traffic handling. The unit uses four internal cooling fans and has a maximum power consumption of 70 W under full load.

• MAC address table capacity of 32,000 entries for dense hardware environments.
• Jumbo frame support for payloads up to 9,000 bytes to optimize large file transfers.
• Quality of Service (QoS) functionality to prioritize time-sensitive network traffic over standard data packets.
• Integrated DHCP client, enabling the switch to obtain IP addresses directly from an active server.
• Firmware-upgradeable design for future feature enhancements and ongoing security patching.
