QSS - QNAP Switch System
User-Friendly Switch Management with a Web GUI
The QNAP Switch System (QSS) provides smart networking management on QNAP’s Managed Switch Series. With its user-friendly web interface and settings guides, QSS provides an entry-level network management solution that is usable even by non-IT professionals. For QNAP’s QSW PoE Switch Series, QSS supports intelligent PoE management functions to make centralized management of powered devices intuitive and easy. The advanced QSS Pro features more powerful L3 Lite for deploying and managing a higher performance and more secure enterprise network infrastructure.

Note: QSS Pro adopting L3 Lite management is only supported in advanced QSW managed switches, check all managed switches supporting L3 Lite management.
QSS: Human-centered settings guide
QSS provides an overview dashboard, port management and settings guide to help administrators control Layer 2 networks.
Setting Guide and Status Chart Referencing are only available on certain QSW switches.
-
Overview Dashboard
View real-time system information, port connection status and port traffic.
-
Port Management
View port status, port packet statistics, and configure port speeds.
-
Setting Guide
Quickly learn how to set up the network using the introduction and step-by-step guide.
-
Exclusive Status Chart Referencing
Refer to four major status charts during each configuration to avoid going back and forth between different settings pages.
-
Online Firmware Check and Update
Keep your QNAP switch secure with one-click firmware updates
Optimize Network Performance with bandwidth and packet control
QSS provides bandwidth and packet control functions (such as LACP, VLAN, QoS, and IGMP Snooping) to boost network performance through IP grouping and bandwidth management.
Port Mirroring and Forward Error Correction(FEC) are only available on certain QSW switches. Check the detailed specifications of each model for more information.
-
LACP
Link Aggregation (LAG) combines multiple network connections to increase throughput and protect against connection failure.
-
VLAN
Virtual Networks (VLAN) allows groups of devices from different networks to be combined into a single network.
-
QoS
QoS (Quality of Service) helps prioritize bandwidth usage to optimize network resource allocation.
-
IGMP Snooping
IGMP snooping assists in minimizing bandwidth loss and preventing network information leakage.
-
Port Mirroring
Port Mirroring sends a copy of network packets seen on one switch port to a network monitoring connection on another switch port, greatly assisting troubleshooting.
-
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 correct bit errors, thus ensuring reliable data transmission over “noisy” channels.
Powerful security and system functions
QSS 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.
RSTP is only available on certain QSW switches. Check the detailed specifications of each model for more information.
-
ACL
Access Control List filters packets based on rules to offer firewall-like security protection.
-
LLDP
Link Layer Discovery Protocol allows devices to advertise device information to their directly connected peers/neighbors, simplifying troubleshooting processes.
-
RSTP
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol, RSTP ensures a loop-free topology for Ethernet networks by blocking or forwarding traffic.
-
Flow Control
Flow Control balances the traffic between a sender and a receiver to avoid network congestion.
Intelligent PoE Functions for Efficient, Centralized PD Management
The QSW PoE Switch Series supports intelligent PoE management functions, including scheduling, power supply prioritization, and power enabling and disabling via QSS. You can obtain real-time network connection status and power consumption information of PDs and configure PDs simultaneously to promote an energy-saving PoE network.
PoE Power Consumption
View real-time information about the PoE power consumption of every port.
PoE scheduling and Enabling
Schedule PoE power to be on/off based on business hours. You can also disable and enable power when disconnecting.
PoE Power Supply Prioritization
Prioritize power allocation to critical PoE devices to ensure non-stop services.
Easily build your ideal office and home network environment at an affordable price.
