Chapter 2 Introduction

Thanks for choosing the TL-SG2210P/TL-SG2216/TL-SG2424/TL-SG2424P/TL-SG2452 Gigabit Smart Switch!

2.1 Overview of the Switch

Designed for workgroups and departments, TL-SG2210P/TL-SG2216/TL-SG2424/TL-SG2424P/

TL-SG2452 from TP-LINK provides wire-speed performance and full set of layer 2 management features. It provides a variety of service features and multiple powerful functions with high security.

The EIA-standardized framework and smart configuration capacity can provide flexible solutions for a variable scale of networks. QoS and IGMP snooping/filtering optimize voice and video application. Link aggregation (LACP) increase aggregated bandwidth, optimizing the transport of business critical data. SNMP, RMON, WEB/CLI/Telnet Log-in bring abundant management policies. TL-SG2210P/TL-SG2216/TL-SG2424/TL-SG2424P/TL-SG2452 switch integrates multiple functions with excellent performance, and is friendly to manage, which can fully meet the need of the users demanding higher networking performance.

2.2 Main Features

Resiliency and Availability

+IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree provides high link availability in multiple VLAN environments.

+Multicast snooping automatically prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic.

+Root Guard protects root bridge from malicious attack or configuration mistakes

Layer 2 Switching

+Supports up to 512 VLANs simultaneously (out of 4K VLAN IDs).

Quality of Service

+Supports L2/L3 granular CoS with 4 priority queues per port.

+Rate limiting confines the traffic flow accurately according to the preset value.

Manageability

+Supports Telnet, CLI, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, RMON and web access.

+Port Mirroring enables monitoring selected ingress/egress traffic.

4.1.5 System IP

Each device in the network possesses a unique IP Address. You can log on to the Web management page to operate the switch using this IP Address. The switch supports three modes to obtain an IP address: Static IP, DHCP and BOOTP. The IP address obtained using a new mode will replace the original IP address. On this page you can configure the system IP of the switch.

Choose the menu System→System Info→System IP to load the following page.

Figure 4-7 System IP

18

The following entries are displayed on this screen:

IP Config

MAC Address: Displays MAC Address of the switch.

IP Address Mode: Select the mode to obtain IP Address for the switch.

Static IP: When this option is selected, you should enter IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway manually.

DHCP: When this option is selected, the switch will obtain network parameters from the DHCP Server.

BOOTP: When this option is selected, the switch will obtain network parameters from the BOOTP Server.

Management VLAN: Enter the ID of management VLAN, the only VLAN through which you can get access to the switch. By default VLAN1 owning all the ports is the Management VLAN and you can access the switch via any port on the switch. However, if another VLAN is created and set to be the Management VLAN, you may have to reconnect the management station to a port that is a member of the Management VLAN.

IP Address: Enter the system IP of the switch. The default system IP is 192.168.0.1 and you can change it appropriate to your needs.

Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask of the switch.
