		Normal Font	A constant (several options are enumerated and only one can be
			selected).
			For example: no bandwidth {all | ingress | egress}
	{}		Items in braces { } are required.
	[]		Items in square brackets [ ] are optional.
|			Alternative items are grouped in braces and separated by vertical bars |.
			For example: speed {10 | 100 | 1000}
		Italic Font	A variable (an actual value must be assigned).
			For example: bridge aging-time aging-time
Common combination:
		{[ ][ ][ ]}	A least one item in the square brackets must be selected.
			For example: bandwidth {[ingress ingress-rate] [egress egress-
			rate]}
			This command can be used on three occasions:
			bandwidth ingress ingress-rate is used to restrict ingress
			bandwidth.
			bandwidth egress egress-rate is used to restrict egress
			bandwidth.
			bandwidth ingress ingress-rate egress egress-rate is used to
			restrict ingress and egress bandwidth.

Determine the Management Method

1Determine the Management Method

Before building your network, choose a proper method to manage your switch based on your actual network situation. The switch can support two configuration options: Standalone Mode or Controller Mode.

Note:

Only TL-SG2428P supports Controller Mode.

■■ Controller Mode

If you want to configure and manage a large-scale network centrally, which consists of devices such as access points, switches, and gateways, Controller Mode is recommended. In Controller Mode, the switch can be centrally configured and monitored via an Omada Software Controller, Hardware Controller, or Cloud-Based Controller.

For detailed instructions about the network topology in such situations and how to use an Omada Software Controller, Hardware Controller or Cloud-Based Controller, refer to the Omada SDN Controller User Guide. The guide can be found on the download center of our official website: https://www.tp-link.com/download-center.html.

■■ Standalone Mode

If you have a relatively small-sized network and only one or just a small number of devices need to be managed, Standalone Mode is recommended. In Standalone Mode, the switch can be singly configured and monitored via the GUI (Graphical User Interface, also called web interface in this text) or via the CLI (Command Line Interface). There are equivalent functions in the web interface and the command line interface, while web configuration is easier and more visual than the CLI configuration. You can choose the method according to their available applications and preference.

This User Guide introduces how to configure and monitor the switch in Standalone Mode.

Note:

••The GUI and CLI is inaccessible while the switch is managed by a controller. To turn the switch back to Standalone Mode and access its GUI and CLI, you can forget the switch on the controller to reset the switch.

••The first time you log in, change the password to better protect your network and devices.

Accessing the Switch

Web Interface Access

2Web Interface Access

You can access the switch’s web interface through the web-based authentication. The switch uses two built-in web servers, HTTP server and HTTPS server, for user authentication.

The following example shows how to login via the HTTP server.

2.1Login

To manage your switch through a web browser in the host PC:

1)Make sure that the route between the host PC and the switch is available.

2)Launch a web browser. The supported web browsers include, but are not limited to, the following types:

■■ IE 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0 ■■ Firefox 26.0, 27.0

■■ Chrome 32.0, 33.0

3)Enter the switch’s IP address in the web browser’s address bar. The switch’s default IP address is 192.168.0.1.

Figure 2-1 Enter the Switch's IP Address in the Browser

4) Enter the username and password (both admin by default) in the pop-up login window.
