Scale secure and highly-efficient enterprise network infrastructure with the QNAP L3 Lite switch
Medium to large-scale enterprises often have large and complicated network infrastructure. Upgrading to L3 Lite managed switches not only scales a secure high-speed network infrastructure, but also saves tremendous maintenance and management costs.
-
Scalability
When scaling your network, additional network switches are required for more end devices. Deploying a L3 Lite switch helps realize granular control over large-scale segmented networks.
-
High-performance
High-performance network transmission is essential for critical business applications and services. A L3 Lite switch effectively satisfies the high-performance network demands in AI, multimedia, and virtualization applications.
-
Security
Having trouble with the complicated connections in the medium to large-scale networks? A L3 Lite switch provides an IP routing table to both boost connection security and simplify security management.
Enterprise IP routing, network high availability and high-performance demands
IP routing
Forwards packets through IP addresses to enable communication between devices in different network segments, or efficiently connect between different segments and subnets to achieve more complicated network segments based on functions.
MC-LAG network redundancy
Combines multiple connections between switches into a single, logical link. This logical link provides high availability and redundancy for client devices as it can continue to function even if one or more of the physical links fail.
Watch video: MC-LAG ensures uninterrupted network connections.LACP
Link Aggregation Control Protocol combines multiple network connections to increase throughput and protect against connection failure.

Optimize network performance with bandwidth and packet control
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.
-
LACP
Link Aggregation combines multiple network connections to increase throughput and protect against connection failure.
-
VLAN
Virtual Networks allows groups of devices from different networks to be combined into a single network.
-
QoS
QoS (Quality of Service) prioritizes bandwidth usage to optimize network resource allocation.
-
IGMP Snooping
IGMP snooping assists in minimizing bandwidth loss and preventing network information leakage.
-
Forward Error Correction (FEC)
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.
Powerful security and system functions
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.
-
ACL
Filters packets based on rules to offer firewall-like security protection.
-
LLDP
Allows devices to advertise device information to directly-connected peers/neighbors to simplify troubleshooting processes.
-
RSTP
Ensures loop-free topology for Ethernet networks by blocking or forwarding traffic.
-
Flow Control
Balances traffic between a sender and a receiver to avoid network congestion.
Dependable performance with effective heat dissipation
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.
