QNAP QSW-M7230-2X4F24T
The QSW-M7230-2X4F24T combines 2 × 100GbE QSFP28, 4 × 25GbE SFP28 and 24 × 10GbE RJ45 ports in a 1U rackmount design. Built for high-performance storage environments and mid-to-large enterprise backbones, it supports L3 Lite routing, MC-LAG high availability and up to 1080Gbps switching capacity.
What is the QNAP QSW-M7230-2X4F24T?
It is a 30-port L3 Lite web-managed switch that integrates 100GbE, 25GbE and high-density 10GbE connectivity on one platform. It can provide high-speed uplinks for servers and NAS while supporting large-scale 10GbE access for servers, workstations and aggregation switches.
Triple-Rate Network Integration
One platform for backbone, aggregation and access-layer connectivity.
100GbE QSFP28
Two 100GbE ports can serve as uplinks to core switches, high-performance servers or NAS. They support connections using QSFP28 DAC cables or transceivers.
25GbE SFP28
Four 25GbE ports suit aggregation switches, NAS and servers. The interfaces are backward compatible with 10GbE SFP+ and 1GbE SFP interfaces.
10GbE RJ45
Twenty-four 10GbE RJ45 ports provide high-density access for servers and workstations and are backward compatible with 5G, 2.5G and 1G interfaces.
High-Capacity Enterprise Backbone
Wire-speed forwarding and stable, low-latency operation under heavy network traffic.
With up to 1080Gbps switching capacity and a non-blocking architecture, the QSW-M7230-2X4F24T is designed to maintain stable forwarding when multiple servers, NAS devices and switches are active at the same time.
Its 1U rackmount format integrates 100GbE, 25GbE and 10GbE connectivity for Top-of-Rack deployment and centralised access to server and storage nodes. Existing 10GbE cabling and equipment can remain in service while 25GbE and 100GbE links are introduced incrementally.
L3 Lite Routing and High Availability
Routing, redundancy and link aggregation features for segmented enterprise networks.
IP Routing
Static routing forwards packets by IP address between different network segments and subnets. L3 Lite also provides IPv4, IPv6, DNS, DHCP server, SNTP and advanced VLAN settings.
MC-LAG Redundancy
MC-LAG combines connections across switches into a logical link for high availability and redundancy, allowing connected devices to continue operating if one or more physical links fail.
LACP
Link Aggregation Control Protocol combines multiple network connections to increase throughput and protect against connection failure.
Precision Timing for AV over IP
High-precision synchronisation for complex multi-screen and audiovisual network environments.
The QSW-M7230-2X4F24T includes a SiTime high-precision clock and supports PTP Boundary Clock. Precision Time Protocol complies with ITU-T G.8273.3 Class A and corrects internal forwarding delays, with maximum time error usually limited to 100ns.
Combined with IGMP Snooping and VLAN support, this helps maintain consistent audiovisual transmission across encoders, decoders and display devices in environments such as video walls, command centres, broadcast control rooms, sports arenas, digital signage and multi-screen presentation spaces.
Bandwidth, Packet and Security Management
Practical tools for traffic control, segmentation, reliability and troubleshooting.
QoS and VLAN
QoS provides queue scheduling and strict-priority management for critical traffic, while VLANs combine selected devices from different networks into logical groups.
FEC and IGMP Snooping
Forward Error Correction detects and recovers lost data in noisy high-speed links. IGMP Snooping helps minimise bandwidth loss and prevent network information leakage.
ACL, LLDP, RSTP and Flow Control
Access controls, neighbour discovery, loop prevention and flow control help administrators strengthen network reliability and simplify troubleshooting.
Centralised and Local Management
Web-based switch administration with optional cloud-centralised monitoring.
QNAP Switch System Pro (QSS Pro) provides an easy-to-use Web GUI for Layer 3 Lite and Layer 2 management. The AMIZcloud management platform can also monitor multiple switches across different locations without additional management hardware or software, supporting remote troubleshooting and centralised administration.
Scalable Collaboration Across Two Work Areas
A supplied deployment example for medium-to-large creative, design and engineering teams.
Two QSW-M7230-2X4F24T switches connected through 100GbE can support up to 48 10GbE workstations and 8 25GbE NAS devices. Each work area can maintain its own 10GbE access and 25GbE storage nodes while sharing projects and assets across the 100GbE backbone.
