Chapter 2 Introduction

Thanks for choosing the TL-SG105E/TL-SG108E/TL-SG108PE/TL-SG1016DE/TL-SG1024DE/ TL-SG1016PE Gigabit Easy Smart Switch!

2.1 Overview of the Switch

The TL-SG105E/TL-SG108E/TL-SG108PE/TL-SG1016DE/TL-SG1024DE/TL-SG1016PE Gigabit Easy Smart Switch is an ideal upgrade from an unmanaged switch, designed for Small and Medium Business networks that require simple network management. Network administrators can effectively monitor traffic via Port Mirroring, Loop Prevention and Cable Test features. To optimize traffic on your business network, they offer port-based, tag-based, DSCP-based QoS to keep latency-sensitive traffic moving smoothly and jitter-free. Additionally, port-based, tag-based and MTU VLAN can improve security and meet more network segmentation requirements. Moreover, with the innovative energy-efficient technology, they are eco-friendly solution for your business network.
