QNAP QSW-M2106-4S - Managed switch, White

The QNAP QSW-M2106-4S is a Layer 2 web-managed switch featuring six 2.5GbE RJ45 ports and four 10GbE SFP+ slots. The six RJ45 ports support client devices at speeds of up to 2,500 Mbit/s, while the four 10GbE SFP+ slots provide high-bandwidth fibre links for servers or core network infrastructure. With a total switching capacity of 110 Gbit/s, the device manages data traffic across all interfaces. As a non-PoE model, it is designed for small offices and labs requiring high data throughput beyond standard Gigabit speeds.

The switch has a desktop form factor, intended for placement on flat surfaces rather than in standard 19-inch racks. Administrators configure settings via a web-based interface, avoiding the need for command-line inputs. The system includes Layer 2 tools, such as port-based and tagged VLANs, IGMP snooping for multicast traffic, and Quality of Service protocols to prioritise critical data streams. Link aggregation, spanning tree protocol, and Access Control Lists are included to manage network security and connection redundancy. A single internal fan provides cooling to maintain stable operating temperatures under continuous load.

• MAC address table capacity of 16,000 entries, suitable for expanding local networks.
• Jumbo frame support up to 9,000 bytes, improving efficiency for large file transfers and storage environments.
• Maximum power consumption of 16 W; powered by an external DC supply.
• Dedicated RJ45 console port for direct hardware access and configuration.
• Support for firmware updates and DHCP clients to simplify IP management and long-term maintenance.
