QNAP QSW-M2130-4C2S24T
The QSW-M2130-4C2S24T combines 24 x 2.5GbE Base-T ports, 2 x 10GbE SFP+ ports and 4 x 10GbE SFP+/RJ45 combo ports in a rackmount Layer 2 managed switch. It is designed to serve access and aggregation roles while providing VLAN, QoS, LACP, ACL and other network management functions through QSS.
What is the QNAP QSW-M2130-4C2S24T?
It is a 30-port L2 web managed switch for multi-Gigabit business networks. High-density 2.5GbE access ports connect workstations, NAS, servers and edge devices, while six 10GbE-capable ports provide flexible high-speed uplinks and aggregation.
Access and Aggregation in One Switch
Simplify multi-Gigabit network architecture across SMB and multi-floor office environments.
The QSW-M2130-4C2S24T integrates access and aggregation roles into one device. Its 24 x 2.5GbE ports can connect workstations, NAS, servers and edge devices, while the 10GbE ports aggregate traffic towards core switches, servers or high-performance NAS.
This consolidated design supports structured network growth while reducing the complexity created by separate access and aggregation devices.
Flexible 10GbE and 2.5GbE Connectivity
A versatile port layout supports copper and fibre connections for network expansion.
10GbE Combo Ports
Four combo ports support either SFP+ fibre or RJ45 copper connections, allowing deployment to match the existing cabling environment.
10GbE SFP+ Ports
Two dedicated SFP+ ports support high-speed backbone links and long-distance fibre connections to core switches, servers or NAS.
24 x 2.5GbE RJ45
High-density 2.5GbE access supports workstations, servers and other multi-Gigabit devices using standard Ethernet cabling.
Dual-Purpose 10GbE Combo Ports
Choose RJ45 copper or SFP+ fibre on each combo interface.
RJ45 Copper Connection
Connect compatible NAS or servers directly with Ethernet cabling. The copper combo interface supports 10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G and 100M speeds.
SFP+ Fibre Connection
Use an SFP+ uplink for longer-distance connections and scalable backbone expansion. The 10GbE SFP+ interfaces are backward compatible with 1GbE SFP.
Flexible Infrastructure
The combo design allows copper and fibre deployment without changing the switch platform as network requirements evolve.
Bandwidth and Packet Control
Layer 2 functions help organise traffic and allocate network resources.
Link Aggregation
LACP combines multiple network connections to increase throughput and provide protection against a connection failure.
VLAN
Virtual networks allow devices from different physical network segments to be grouped into one logical network.
Quality of Service
QoS prioritises bandwidth usage to improve network resource allocation.
IGMP Snooping
IGMP snooping helps minimise unnecessary multicast traffic and reduce bandwidth loss.
Security and Network Reliability
Access control, attack prevention, loop protection and traffic regulation support stable operation.
Access Control List
ACL filters packets according to configured rules to provide firewall-like access control.
DoS Attack Prevention
Helps protect the switch from malicious traffic intended to exhaust system resources and disrupt network access.
RSTP
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol helps maintain a loop-free Ethernet topology by controlling forwarding paths.
Flow Control
Balances traffic between sending and receiving devices to help avoid congestion and packet loss.
QSS Web Management
Manage Layer 2 functions and review switch information through a browser-based interface.
The QSS management interface provides an overview dashboard and graphical statistics to help administrators review switch information at a glance. QSS also supports one-click online firmware updates to simplify system maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about the QNAP QSW-M2130-4C2S24T.
How many ports does the QSW-M2130-4C2S24T have?
It has 30 ports: 24 x 2.5GbE RJ45, 2 x 10GbE SFP+ and 4 x 10GbE SFP+/RJ45 combo ports.
Can the switch be used for both access and aggregation?
Yes. The supplied product information positions it for both access and aggregation roles, using 2.5GbE ports for connected devices and 10GbE ports for uplinks.
What connection types do the 10GbE combo ports support?
Each combo port can use either an SFP+ fibre connection or an RJ45 copper connection. Only one connection type can be used on a combo port at a time.
Which Layer 2 management features are included?
Supplied features include VLAN, LACP, ACL, LLDP, QoS, IGMP Snooping, RSTP and Flow Control.
How is the switch managed?
It is managed through the QSS browser-based web interface. An RJ45 console port is also listed in the datasheet.
Is the QSW-M2130-4C2S24T rackmountable?
Yes. The datasheet lists a rackmount form factor with dimensions of 44 x 440 x 205 mm.
