QNAP QSW-M3224-24T netwerkswitch managed L3 10G Ethernet (100/1000/10000) 1U zwart, zilver

The QNAP QSW-M3224-24T Managed L3 network switch is a 1U rackmount solution offering 24 RJ-45 ports with 10G Ethernet (100/1000/10000) support for high-speed wired connectivity. Designed for enterprise aggregation and data center use, it provides a 32,000-entry MAC address table, 480 Gbit/s switching capacity and a standard console RJ-45 port. The switch implements Layer 3 Lite and Layer 2 management features and supports multiple IEEE networking standards, delivering a cost‑optimized, high-density 10GbE platform for storage, virtualization, AV-over-IP and other bandwidth‑intensive applications.

Advantages

The QSW-M3224-24T combines high port density and 10GbE multi-gig performance in a compact 1U chassis, enabling low-latency, high-throughput connections for servers, NAS, workstations and AVoIP devices. Built-in L3 Lite functions (IPv4/IPv6, static routing and DHCP) and L2 enhancements (VLAN, QoS, LACP) simplify network deployment and segmentation. Additional capabilities such as MC-LAG for high availability, ACL and SNMP support enhance security and central management, while a switching capacity of 480 Gbit/s ensures each port can reach its performance potential.

Suitable for

• Enterprise aggregation switches in server rooms and data centers
• High-speed NAS, virtualization hosts and server uplinks
• AV-over-IP installations, video editing and broadcast environments
• Office networks requiring multi-gig connectivity and QoS
• Environments needing redundancy and high availability (MC-LAG)

How to use

Install the QSW-M3224-24T in a standard 19-inch rack using the supplied mounting brackets and secure appropriate airflow. Connect power and use the RJ-45 console port or Web GUI (QSS Pro) to perform initial configuration. Configure Layer 3 Lite settings such as IP addresses, static routes and DHCP as required, and create VLANs, QoS policies and LACP groups to segment and optimize traffic. Use MC-LAG and link aggregation for uplinks and redundancy, and enable ACLs and SNMP for secure centralized management.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, connect 10G-capable devices directly to the 10GbE ports and aggregate multiple links with LACP where higher bandwidth is needed. Use VLANs and QoS to prioritize latency-sensitive traffic such as AVoIP and video streams, and enable MC-LAG for redundant uplinks in critical deployments. Regularly update firmware and monitor device health with AMIZcloud or SNMP to maintain security and reliability.
