Entry-level 10GbE Layer 2 Web Managed Switch for SMB Network Deployment The QSW-M408S is a Layer 2 Web Managed Switch equipped with four 10GbE SFP+ ports and eight Gigabit ports. Supporting Layer 2 switching and network management via a user-friendly web user interface, the QSW-M408S offers flexible deployment in hybrid high-speed network environments and provides an entry-level network management solution that is usable even by non-IT professionals. With its high performance, user-friendly management features and desktop size, the QSW-M408S allows you to instantly upgrade to a hybrid high-speed network environment at a cost-effective price, while optimizing network bandwidth and ensuring network maintenance security. The QSW-M408S is equipped with four 10GbE SFP+ ports and eight Gigabit ports for connecting various devices. Featuring a user-friendly web UI, the QNAP Switch System (QSS) provides an overview dashboard, port management and setting guide, making central network management intuitive and easy. The QSW-M408S provides Layer 2 management features, such as LACP, VLAN, ACL and LLDP for IT administrators to efficiently control the network bandwidth and enhance security. The QSW-M408S is one the few web-managed switches that supports Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP). You can easily and efficiently deploy small/medium-scale networks that support expansion, redundancy and loop prevention. Compliant with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet and IEEE802.3x Flow Control in full-duplex mode, the QSW-M408S avoids packet loss from unparalleled bandwidth, and reduces power consumption for low-speed and inactive connections. QSS (QNAP Switch System) helps administrators update firmware with just one click, ensuring network security. Flexible deployment with multiple 10G SFP+ fiber and Gigabit ports The QSW-M408S provides four 10GbE SFP+ ports and eight Gigabit ports for connecting various devices and enabling hybrid high-speed networks. With SFP+ interfaces, direct attach copper (DAC) cables can be used for connecting directly to SFP+ devices. You can also use 10G-SFP-T copper transceiver modules to connect 10GBASE-T/NBASE-T™ devices through RJ45 Category 6, 5 or 5e cabling. The switching capacity of QSW-M408S is 96Gbps, guaranteeing the full potential of each port. QSS: Intuitive Network Management Software with Web GUI The QSW-M408S uses the QNAP Switch System (QSS), which features an easy-to-use Web GUI with value-added functions to simplify network set up and management. Sleek Design Use the at-a-glance major functions, flat control layers and one-click login to simplify set up and management. GUI The visual illustration matches physical ports for greater usability. Value-added Functions With the setting guide, status chart reference, online firmware update, the learning and management costs are greatly reduced.
