IT Home reported on July 18 that QNAP today launched its first full 10GbE L3 Lite managed switch, the QSW-M3224-24T, which uses a 1U rack and provides 24 10GbE Multi-Gig network ports (10G/5G/2.5G/1G) and 480 Gbps switching capacity.


“The QSW-M3224-24T not only meets the needs of low-latency and high-density 10G network applications, but also supports advanced IP routing and network segmentation management,” said Zhiqiang Deng, product manager at QNAP.

QSW-M3224-24T uses the latest QNAP Switch System (QSS) Pro network management software and supports L3 Lite management functions, including IP settings (IPv4, IPv6, DNS), static routing, DHCP server, SNTP and advanced VLAN functions, which can achieve more refined deployment and management of segmented network transmission infrastructure. IT Home noted that it also supports multi-chassis link aggregation (MC-LAG) function, which can ensure the uninterrupted operation of the switch network and improve fault tolerance and availability.


With IGMP snooping and SNMP management and AV-over-IP wizard, the QSW-M3224-24T can connect multiple audio and video endpoints and forward multicast traffic to other devices, avoiding network congestion and unnecessary data transmission, thereby reducing latency, improving network connection efficiency, and achieving optimized network management.


The QSW-M3224-24T is equipped with 24 10GbE RJ45 ports, compatible with Multi-Gigabit NBASE-T (10G / 5G / 2.5G / 1G) technology (requires CAT 6A or higher specification network cables to unleash the 10G capability), providing 480 Gbps switching capacity and can connect multiple L2 managed switches, unmanaged switches and high-speed network devices.

In addition, it provides Layer 2 management functions such as LACP, ACL, and QoS for efficient network bandwidth control and enhanced network security, and supports Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), enabling users to deploy small and medium-sized networks that support expansion, redundancy, and loop prevention.
