Layer 2 network

Provides Layer 2 management features (such as LACP, VLAN, ACL and LLDP) for IT staff to efficiently control network bandwidth and enhance security.

RSTP

One of the few web-managed switches that supports Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP). Easily and efficiently deploy small/medium-scale networks that support expansion, redundancy, and loop prevention.

Online firmware update

QSS can be updated with just one click, helping IT staff ensure their network security.

Flow Control

Compliant with IEEE802.3x Flow Control in full-duplex mode, the QSW-M3212R-8S4T avoids packet loss from unparalleled bandwidth.

Half-width design, two models in 1U

With a half-width rackmount design, a QSW-M3212R-8S4T can be installed in a 1U rack space with another half-width rackmount switch (such as QSW-M2106R-2S2T) for efficient physical space utilization and tidy cabling.

Flexible 12-port 10GbE deployment with eight 10GbE SFP+ and four 10GBASE-T Ethernet

The QSW-M3212R-8S4T provides eight 10GbE SFP+ ports and four 10GbE RJ45 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 RJ45 ports to connect 10GBASE-T/NBASE-T™ devices through RJ45 Category 6a (or better) cabling. The switching capacity of the QSW-M3212R-8S4T is 320Gbps , supporting the full potential of each port.
