I would like to ask if the QSW-M5216-1T switch supports PTP? Does it support Jumbo frame?

2

On the QSW-M5216-1T webpage, it is clearly stated that Jumbo Frame is supported up to 9K

However, it appears that PTP (Precision Time Protocol) is not supported. If it were, it should be indicated on the webpage just like with the QSW-M7308R-4X.

May I ask what your application scenario for PTP is? We can have our team recommend a suitable model based on your actual needs.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

Our application is for SMPTE-2110 8K video transmission, so PTP is essential. However, the QSW-M5216-1T seems to have enough SFP ports, but does not support PTP. The QSW-M7308R-4X supports PTP, but may not have enough SFP ports. Do you have any other recommendations?
Additionally, I would like to ask if the QSW-M7308R-4X seems to have a 1Gb management port? In our application, we need 8+1 ports: 8x 25G SFP ports and 1x Gb port to connect to the controller. So, if the QSW-M7308R-4X switch does have a management port, and this management port can be on the same network as the 25G SFP ports, it would just about meet our needs.

  1. Are there any other recommended models?
  2. Can the Gb management port be configured on the same subnet as the 25G SFP ports? (Because some management ports are only serial ports.)

Could you please help confirm these two points? Thank you.

Also, may I ask if the QSW-M7308R-4X supports RS-FEC?

Hi @rextaiwan,

According to your requirements: 8 x 25G SFP28 + 1 x 1G RJ45, and they need to be configured on the same subnet

  1. Currently, only the QNAP Switch QSW-M7308R-4X meets the above requirements.
  2. The 1G management port (OOB) can be configured in the same subnet as the 25G ports.

If you have any other requirements, please feel free to let us know. Thank you.

Hi @rextaiwan,

Here are the answers to your questions:

  1. The QSW-M7308R-4X supports RS-FEC. You can refer to the information in the QNAP FAQ:
    https://www.qnap.com/zh-tw/how-to/faq/article/在-qnap-qsw-網管型交換器上進行-fec-設定及疑難排解
  2. The QSW-M7308R-4X only supports PTP Transparent Clock and does not support PTP Boundary Clock.
    The newly released QSW-M7230-2X4F24T does support PTP Boundary Clock, so you may also consider this model. Thank you.
