The QSW-M7308R-4X provides bandwidth and packet control functions (such as LACP, VLAN, QoS, and IGMP Snooping) to boost network performance through IP grouping and bandwidth management.
Link Aggregation combines multiple network connections to increase throughput and protect against connection failure.
Virtual Networks allows groups of devices from different networks to be combined into a single network.
QoS (Quality of Service) prioritizes bandwidth usage to optimize network resource allocation.
IGMP snooping assists in minimizing bandwidth loss and preventing network information leakage.
FEC helps overcome packet loss – a potentially common occurrence in fast, long-distance networks. With FEC the receiving side can detect and recover lost data to fix bit errors, thus ensuring reliable data transmission over “noisy” channels. Unlike common switches only supporting FEC, IEEE-802.3ap Auto-Negotiation is also supported for high compatibility in QSS.
The QSW-M7308R-4X has powerful security and system functions (including ACL, LLDP, RSTP and Flow Control) to help administrators enhance network reliability using access controls, troubleshooting, loop prevention and avoiding packet loss.
Filters packets based on rules to offer firewall-like security protection.
Allows devices to advertise device information to directly-connected peers/neighbors to simplify troubleshooting processes.
Ensures loop-free topology for Ethernet networks by blocking or forwarding traffic.
Balances traffic between a sender and a receiver to avoid network congestion.
With a compact metal body, the QSW-M7308R-4X provides stable and reliable operations while staying near-silent even when under full load. The front-panel LEDs also assist in viewing the current system status.
