QNAP QSW-M3212R-8S8T
Half-width Rackmount 16-Port 10GbE Layer 2 Web Managed Switch for SMB/SOHO high-speed networking environments
More 10GbE ports and more space-saving at an affordable price. The QNAP QSW-M3216R-8S8T is a half-width rackmount L2 Managed Switch with eight 10GbE SFP+ fiber ports and eight 10GbE RJ45 ports. Supporting Layer 2 switching and network management via a user-friendly web user interface, the QSW-M3216R-8S8T offers flexible deployment in high-speed network environments and provides an entry-level network management solution. With a half-width design, the QSW-M3216R-8S8T can be conveniently placed within working environments without taking up too much space, and two can be installed in a single 1U rack space. The QSW-M3216R-8S8T is made in Taiwan (MIT), providing a high-quality and reliable networking solution.
10G Multi-Gig connectivity
Includes eight 10GbE RJ45 and eight 10GbE SFP+ fiber ports for connecting different interfaces.
User-friendly management interface
The QNAP Switch System (QSS) is easy to use and provides an overview dashboard, port management and setting guide, making central network management intuitive.
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-M3216R-8S8T avoids packet loss from unparalleled bandwidth.
Half-width design, two models in 1U
With a half-width rackmount design, a QSW-M3216R-8S8T can be installed in a 1U rack space with another half-width rackmount switch (such as QSW-3216R-8S8T) 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 deployment with sixteen 10GbE SFP+ and RJ45 ports
The QSW-M3216R-8S8T provides eight 10GbE SFP+ ports and eight 10GbE RJ45 ports for connecting various devices and enabling 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 6 (or better) cabling.
Note: 10GbE SFP+ ports are backward compatible with 1GbE SFP; the 10GbE RJ45 ports support up to five speeds (10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M).
Dependable performance with effective heat dissipation
With a compact metal body that optimizes cooling performance, the QSW-M3216R-8S8T provides stable and reliable operations even when under full load. The front-panel LEDs also assist in viewing the current system status.
QSS: Human-centered settings guide
The QSW-M3212R-8S8T uses the QNAP Switch System (QSS), featuring an easy-to-use Web GUI with Layer 2 management and value-added functions to simplify network set up and management.

Optimize network performance with bandwidth and packet control
The QSW-M3212R-8S8T 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 combines multiple network connections to increase throughput and protect against connection failure.
- VLAN
Virtual Networks allows groups of devices from different networks to be combined into a single network.
- QoS
QoS (Quality of Service) prioritizes bandwidth usage to optimize network resource allocation.
- IGMP Snooping
IGMP snooping assists in minimizing bandwidth loss and preventing network information leakage.
Powerful security and system functions
The QSW-M3212R-8S8T 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
Filters packets based on rules to offer firewall-like security protection.
- 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.
