QNAP QSW-M7230-2X4F24T 30-Port Multi-Gigabit Managed Switch with 2x100GbE QSFP28, 4x25GbE SFP28, 24x10GbE RJ45, Layer 3 Lite

For networks demanding extreme backbone throughput and multi-gigabit access, the QSW-M7230-2X4F24T delivers a rare combination of 100GbE uplinks, 25GbE aggregation, and 24 ports of 10GBASE-T. Unlike typical 10GbE-only switches, this 1U rackmount unit provides a 1.28 Tbps switching capacity and 640 Mpps forwarding rate, ensuring line-rate performance across all ports. Its Layer 3 Lite static routing and comprehensive management features make it suitable for both core and distribution layers in SMB and enterprise environments.

Highlights

• 2 x 100GbE QSFP28 ports for ultra-high-speed backbone links
• 4 x 25GbE SFP28 ports for high-speed server or switch aggregation
• 24 x 10GBASE-T RJ45 ports supporting 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M speeds
• 1.28 Tbps switching capacity and 640 Mpps forwarding rate
• Layer 2 and Layer 3 Lite features with static routing
• Web-based GUI, CLI, and SNMP management
• Redundant power supply option for high availability
• 4 smart fans for efficient cooling in 1U form factor

In daily use

The QSW-M7230-2X4F24T integrates seamlessly into mixed-speed networks. Connect high-performance NAS or servers via the 100GbE QSFP28 ports, aggregate 25GbE devices, and provide 10GbE connectivity to workstations or access switches over standard Cat6a/Cat7 cabling. The 10GBASE-T ports auto-negotiate down to 100Mbps, allowing gradual upgrades without replacing existing infrastructure. VLAN support (up to 4094 VLANs), QoS, and jumbo frames up to 9KB ensure efficient traffic segmentation and prioritization for demanding applications like virtualization, video editing, and large data transfers.
