Optimize Network Performance with bandwidth and packet control
The QSW-M2106-4C 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 (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.

Powerful security and system functions
The QSW-M2106-4C 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
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.

Desktop form factor for easy use in offices
With a compact and modern design, the QSW-M2106-4C stands out with its textured surface design. The flexible DC power connector enables universal deployment of the QSW-M2106-4C and each port can be easily identified. Being fully plug-and-play, devices can be simply connected to the QSW-M2106-4C and immediately used.
