QNAP QSW-M5216-1T 16-Port 25GbE/10GbE Layer 2 Web Managed Switch

The QSW-M5216-1T has sixteen 25GbE SFP28 fiber ports and offers a backbone switching capacity of 820 Gb/s, guaranteeing the full potential of each port. The QSW-M5216-1T can serve as the core switch uplinking to 25Gb/100Gb Servers and NAS in server rooms or connecting to 25Gb/10Gb edge fiber switches.

Along with sixteen 25GbE SFP28 fiber ports, the QSW-M5216-1T has one 10GBASE-T port for enabling hybrid high-speed networks. Its 25GbE SFP28 interfaces are backward compatible with 10GbE SFP+/1GbE SFP; and 10GbE RJ45 is compatible with NBASE-T technologies to support five speeds (10Gb, 5Gb, 2.5Gb, 1Gb, and 100Mb).

25GbE SFP28 Fiber
Use SFP28 DAC (Direct Attach Copper) or transceivers to connect to NAS with fiber interfaces, network cards and switches.

10GbE RJ45
Use existing 6a cables to connect to 10GbE NAS or 10GbE switches.

By using QSFP28 to four SFP28 cables, you can easily connect the four 25GbE ports on the QSW-M5216-1T to a NAS with a QXG-100G2SF-E810 dual-port 100GbE network expansion card. You can also use two QSFP28 to four SFP28 cables to connect the 100GbE port on the QXG-100G2SF-E810 to four 25GbE ports on the switch. Set a group of QSFP28 to four SFP28 connections as the main route and the other as a backup route.

The QNAP Switch System (QSS) 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 on-screen display matches physical ports for greater usability.

Value Added
With the settings guide, status chart reference, online firmware update, learning, and management costs are greatly reduced.

QSS provides an overview dashboard, port management and setting guide to help control Layer 2 networks.

Overview Dashboard
View real-time system information, port connection status, and port traffic.

Port Management
View port status, port packet statistics, and configure port speeds.

Setting Guide
Quickly learn how to set up the network using the introduction and step-by-step guide.

Status Chart Referencing
Refer to four major status charts during configuration to avoid switching between different setting pages.

Online Firmware Check and Update
Secure your QSW-M5216-1T with one-click firmware updates.

The QSW-M5216-1T provides bandwidth and packet control functions (such as LACP, VLAN, QoS, and IGMP Snooping) to boost network performance through IP grouping and bandwidth management.

LACP
Link Aggregation (LAG) combines multiple network connections to increase throughput and protect against connection failure.

VLAN
Virtual Networks (VLAN) allow groups of devices from different networks to be combined into a single network.

QoS
QoS (Quality of Service) helps prioritize bandwidth usage to optimize network resource allocation.

IGMP Snooping
IGMP snooping assists in minimizing bandwidth loss and preventing network information leakage.

The QSW-M5216-1T has powerful security and system functions (including ACL, LLDP, RSTP and Flow Control) to help enhance network reliability with access controls, troubleshooting, loop prevention, and avoiding packet loss.

ACL

• Access controls
• System security

  LLDP

• Device disclosure
• Troubleshooting

  RSTP

• Loop prevention
• Backup path

  Flow Control

• Balance speed
• Jam prevention

With its smart cooling system, the QSW-M5216-1T ensures high-speed network performance without distracting background noise. IEEE 802.3az (EEE) support also reduces power consumption without sacrificing performance or functionality. By dynamically detecting and adjusting for link speeds and activities, the QSW-M5216-1T provides energy savings of up to 50% to minimize operational costs.
