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.

Note: The optional SP-EAR-QSW2FOR1-01 rackmount kit is required if two half-width rackmount switches are installed.

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 240Gbps , supporting the full potential of each port.

• 10GbE SFP+ ports are backward compatible with 1GbE SFP.
• 10GbE RJ45 (copper) ports support up to five speeds (10G/ 5G/2.5G/1G/100M).
• CAT 6 (or higher) RJ45 cables support Multi-Gig connectivity up to 10GbE.

Optimize network performance with bandwidth and packet control

The QSW-M3212R-8S4T offers practical bandwidth and packet control features that effectively allocate bandwidth and manage network segmentation. This significantly enhances network performance for administrators.

  • LACP

    Link Aggregation combines multiple network connections to increase throughput and protect against connection failure.

  • QoS

    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.

  • IGMP Snooping

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

  • DDM

    The QSW-M3212R-8S4T fiber ports have optical transceivers and Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) functionality, which offers real-time monitoring and reporting of various parameters related to fiber optic connections, such as optical power, temperature, voltage, and transceiver status.

  • Port Mirroring

    Port Mirroring sends a copy of network packets seen on one switch port to a network monitoring connection on another switch port, greatly assisting troubleshooting.

Powerful security and system functions

The QSW-M3212R-8S4T 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

    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.

  • LLDP

    Allows devices to advertise device information to directly-connected peers/neighbors to simplify troubleshooting processes.

  • RSTP

    Ensures loop-free topology for Ethernet networks by blocking or forwarding traffic.

  • Flow Control

    Balances traffic between a sender and a receiver to avoid network congestion.

Dependable performance with effective heat dissipation

With a compact metal body that optimizes cooling performance, the QSW-M3212R-8S4T provides stable and reliable operations even when under full load. The front-panel LEDs also assist in viewing the current system status.
