Frequently Asked Questions - QSW-1208-8C QNAP

How do I reset the QSW-1208-8C to factory defaults?

Press and hold the reset button on the front panel for about 10 seconds until the system LED blinks. The switch will reboot with factory settings.

What is the default IP address and login credentials?

Default IP is 192.168.1.1. Username: admin, Password: admin (case-sensitive). Change these after first login.

How can I update the firmware?

Download the latest firmware from QNAP’s website. Log into the web interface, go to Maintenance > Firmware Update, upload the file, and follow prompts.

Can I use RJ45 cables for 10G connections?

Yes, the 4 RJ45 ports support 10GBASE-T (Cat6a or higher recommended). SFP+ ports require fiber or DAC cables.

Why are the SFP+ ports not detecting my transceivers?

Ensure transceivers are compatible and inserted correctly. Check if they are QNAP-approved. You may need to enable the port in the web GUI.

How do I create a VLAN?

Go to Switching > VLAN, add a new VLAN ID and name, then assign member ports. Set the port mode to 'access' or 'trunk' as needed.

What is the maximum power consumption?

The switch consumes up to 45W under full load. Use the included power adapter or a standard IEC C7 cable.

Does the switch support PoE?

No, the QSW-1208-8C does not support Power over Ethernet. It only provides data switching.

Why is the fan loud?

The fan is temperature-controlled and may run at higher speeds if the switch is in a hot environment. Ensure proper ventilation; a rack with fans can help.

Can I stack multiple switches?

This model does not support physical stacking. However, you can manage them individually or use LACP across switches for redundancy.
