QuantaMesh Ethernet Switches with QNOS provide comprehensive Layer 2 and Layer 3 featuresQCT Network Operating System (QNOS) is the modern software platform for data centers and cloud networks which is based on Broadcom's ICOS platform for tradition L2/L3 features as well as software-defined network (SDN) applications. Inherited from ICOS, QNOS is a proven protocol stack solution that can run on several control plane processors including PowerPC, x86, and ARM with robust operating performance and flexible deployment. For the fundamentals of modern data center networks such as network automation, virtualization, high availability and data center oriented, QNOS provides a comprehensive feature set to cover all types of applications.

NoteCalifornia government announced Senate Bill 327 to regulate security for IOT devices. Connected devices in California require reasonable security features that appropriately protect user's data from unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure. Each Device must has an unique password. Please change the default password when first configuring a QuantaMesh Ethernet Switch.
