Description
The QSW-M5216-1T 16-Port SFP28 25G Managed Network Switch from QNAP provides an entry-level network management solution that is usable even by non-IT professionals. Built with sixteen 25GbE SFP28 fiber ports and a backbone switching capacity of 820 Gb/s, the QSW-M5216-1T can serve as the core switch uplinking to 25G Servers and NAS in server rooms or connecting to 25G/10G switches to accelerate high-speed storage, video editing, virtualization, and AI applications. It also features one 10GbE RJ45 port for hybrid high-speed network deployment, a 1GbE RJ45 port for access to the web UI, the QNAP Switch System (QSS), and supports Layer 2 switching. The QSW-M5216-1T provides flexible network interfaces for high compatibility at an affordable price, enabling small businesses to quickly upgrade to an ultra-high-speed backbone network by integrating with existing network infrastructure. Supported network standards include IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab, 802.3bz, 802.3an, 803.2z, 802.3ae, 803.3x, 802.3by, 802.1Q, 802.1w, 802.3ad, 802.1AB, 803.3az, and 802.1p.High Switching Capacity of 820 Gb/s for Backbone Networks 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.Flexible Deployment with Multiple 25GbE and 10GbE Ports 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.Pair with a NAS and 100GbE Network Expansion Card for High Performance, Low Latency Computing 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.QSS: Intuitive Network Management Software 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: Human-Centered Settings Guide 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.Optimize Network Performance with Bandwidth and Packet Control 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 throughpu
