High Cost-Performance 100GbE Upgrade: Seamless Transition to High-Speed Enterprise Backbones
QSW-M7230-2X4F24T integrates 100G, 25G, and high-density 10G connectivity into a 1U rack space, offering superior price competitiveness and port flexibility compared to other 100GbE switches in its class. Enterprises can deploy 25GbE/100GbE for critical servers and NAS while retaining existing 10GbE cabling and equipment. Upper-layer backbone expansion can proceed incrementally, eliminating the need for wholesale network equipment replacement. This approach delivers tangible performance gains and extended investment lifecycle within constrained networking budgets.
High switching capacity of 1080Gbps for backbone networks
The QSW-M7230-2X4F24T features 2 ports of 100GbE QSFP28, 4 ports of 25GbE SFP28, and 24 ports of 10GbE RJ45. With up to 1080 Gbps switching capacity and a non-blocking architecture, it delivers wire-speed forwarding and stable, low-latency performance even under heavy traffic from multiple servers, NAS, and switches—making it an ideal core backbone or high-speed aggregation switch.
Satisfy High-Speed Collaboration for Dual Teams or Studios of Nearly 50 People
QSW-M7230-2X4F24T units connected via 100GbE can simultaneously support up to 48 10GbE workstations and 8 25GbE NAS devices, making it ideal for dual-workspace/dual-department deployments in medium-to-large-scale video post-production, design, or engineering teams. Each zone has independent 10GbE access and 25GbE storage nodes, while high-speed project and asset sharing across zones is achieved via the 100GbE backbone. This allows multiple users to edit, render, and backup large files simultaneously and smoothly, easily supporting growing studio and office environments.
100GbE/25GbE/10GbE Multi-rate Port Design for Flexible High-Speed Network Architecture
The QSW-M7230-2X4F24T provides two 100GbE QSFP28 ports, four 25GbE SFP28 ports, and twenty-four 10GbE RJ45 ports. With multiple port types coexisting on the same device, it can simultaneously handle core, aggregation, and access layer connection needs, helping enterprises plan and expand high-speed network infrastructure with greater flexibility. The 25GbE SFP28 interfaces are backward compatible with 10GbE SFP+/1GbE SFP interfaces, and the 10GbE RJ45 interfaces are backward compatible with 5G/2.5G/1G interfaces.
| 100GbE QSFP28 |
100GbE ports serve as uplinks to core switches, high-performance servers, or NAS. Use QSFP28 DAC (Direct Attach Copper) or transceivers to connect to servers and switches with 100GbE QSFP28 interfaces, or NAS installing 100GbE network cards. |
| 25GbE SFP28 |
25GbE ports are suitable for connecting aggregation switches and NAS. Use SFP28 DAC (Direct Attach Copper) or transceivers to connect to NAS, servers, and switches with 25GbE SFP28 fiber interfaces. |
| 10GbE RJ45 |
10GbE ports provide high-density access for servers and workstations. Use RJ45 cables or transceivers to connect to servers, switches, or NAS with the same interface. |
Supports High-Precision Clock with PTP for Synchronized Large-Scale AV over IP
In multi-screen video walls, cross-floor displays, or large exhibition venues, even minor time discrepancies can easily lead to screens running at different speeds and audio-visual desynchronization. QSW-M7230-2X4F24T features a built-in SiTime high-precision clock and supports PTP Boundary Clock, delivering a more stable time reference across networks to maintain synchronization among numerous encoders, decoders, and display devices. Whether deployed in command centers, broadcast control rooms, sports arenas, shopping mall digital signage, or campus/corporate multi-screen presentation environments, it ensures consistent audio-visual performance throughout complex topologies.
Enterprise IP routing, network high availability and high-performance demands
| IP routing |
Forwards packets through IP addresses to enable communication between devices in different network segments, or efficiently connect between different segments and subnets to achieve more complicated network segments based on functions. |
| MC-LAG network redundancy |
Combines multiple connections between switches into a single, logical link. This logical link provides high availability and redundancy for client devices as it can continue to function even if one or more of the physical links fail. When used together with NAS High Availability (HA), it ensures high availability at both the storage and network layers, delivering comprehensive dual-layer protection. |
| LACP |
Link Aggregation Control Protocol combines multiple network connections to increase throughput and protect against connection failure. |
Scale secure and highly-efficient enterprise network infrastructure with the QNAP L3 Lite switch
Medium to large-scale enterprises often have large and complicated network infrastructure. Upgrading to L3 Lite managed switches not only scales a secure high-speed network infrastructure, but also saves tremendous maintenance and management costs.
Scalability
When scaling your network, additional network switches are required for more end devices. Deploying a L3 Lite switch helps realize granular control over large-scale segmented networks.
High-performance
High-performance network transmission is essential for critical business applications and services. A L3 Lite switch effectively satisfies the high-performance network demands in AI, multimedia, and virtualization applications.
Security
Having trouble with the complicated connections in the medium to large-scale networks? A L3 Lite switch provides an IP routing table to both boost connection security and simplify security management.
Optimize network performance with bandwidth and packet control
The QSW-M7230-2X4F24T offers practical bandwidth and packet control features that effectively allocate bandwidth and manage network segmentation.
This significantly enhances network performance for administrators.
| LACP |
PTP |
QoS |
| Link Aggregation combines multiple network connections to increase throughput and protect against connection failure. |
Precision Time Protocol (PTP) complies with ITU-T G.8273.3 Class A, providing precise time synchronization for network devices. QSW-M7230-2X4F24T accurately forwards PTP packets while correcting internal delays, with maximum time error usually limited to 100 ns. |
Quality of Service (QoS) provides detailed traffic control (Queue Scheduling) and priority management (Strict Policy), improving network performance and ensuring the real-time delivery of critical traffic. |
| VLAN |
Forward Error Correction (FEC) |
IGMP Snooping |
| Virtual Networks (VLAN) allows groups of devices from different networks to be combined into a single network. |
FEC helps overcome packet loss – a potentially common occurrence in fast, long-distance networks. With FEC the receiving side can detect and recover lost data to fix bit errors, thus ensuring reliable data transmission over "noisy" channels. Unlike common switches only supporting FEC, IEEE-802.3ap Auto-Negotiation is also supported for high compatibility in QSS. |
IGMP snooping assists in minimizing bandwidth loss and preventing network information leakage. |
Powerful security and system functions
The QSW-M7230-2X4F24T has powerful security and system functions (including ACL, LLDP, RSTP and Flow Control) to help administrators enhance network reliability using access controls, troubleshooting, loop prevention and avoiding packet loss.
| ACL |
LLDP |
RSTP |
Flow Control |
| Access Control List (ACL) enhances security by filtering incoming and outgoing packet data through custom rules. ACL Mirroring is also supported to allow for copying traffic that matches specific ACL rules and forwarding it to designated monitoring or analysis devices. |
Allows devices to advertise device information to directly-connected peers/neighbors to simplify troubleshooting processes. |
Ensures loop-free topology for Ethernet networks by blocking or forwarding traffic. |
Balances traffic between a sender and a receiver to avoid network congestion. |
