Qnap QSW-M2108 Series Layer 2 Web Managed Switches

Qnap Systems, Inc. released the QSW-M2108 Series Layer 2 Web managed switches, including the QSW-M2108-2C and QSW-M218-2S.

Featuring 2.5GbE, 10GbE and practical Layer 2 management functions, the QSW-M2108 series enables efficient bandwidth utilization to offer an entry-level network management solutions for SMBs.

QSW-M2108-2C

The QSW-M2108-2C comes with2x10GbE SFP+/RJ45 combo ports and 8×2.5GbE RJ45 ports (10 ports in total). The QSW-M2108-2S comes with 2x10GbE SFP+ ports and 8×2.5GbE ports (10 ports in total). The QSW-M2108-2C is compatible with 10GbE and NBASE-T technologies to support 4 networking speeds (10Gb, 5Gb, 2.5Gb, 1Gb and 100Mb/s), allowing administrators to realize higher network speeds with existing Cat 5e and 6a cables. QSW-M2108 series switches also provide layer 2 management functions (such as LACP, VLAN, ACL and LLDP) via a Web GUI for network bandwidth controls and enhanced network security.

“With increasing demand for high-speed networking in SMBs, the QSW-M2108 series not only provides eight 2.5GbE RJ45 ports but also two 10GbE SFP+ ports or SFP+/RJ45 combo ports,” said Frank Liao, product manager. “the Qnap QSW-M2108 switch series allows users to flexibly deploy bandwidth and enjoy an easy-to-use Web GUI to simplify network setup and management.”

The QSW-M2108 series is one of the few web-managed switches that supports the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and is compliant with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet and IEEE802.3x Flow Control in full-duplex mode. Users can deploy small/medium-scale networks that support expansion, redundancy, and loop prevention, while avoiding packet loss from unparalleled bandwidth, and reducing power consumption for low-speed and inactive connections. With its cooling system, the QSW-M2108 series switch ensures network performance while minimizing distracting background noise.
