Chapter 2 Introduction
Thanks for choosing the TL-SG3424P JetStream L2 Managed PoE Switch!
2.1 Overview of the Switch
Designed for workgroups and departments, TL-SG3424P from TP-LINK provides wire-speed
performance and abundant 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. ACL, 802.1x and Dynamic ARP Inspection provide robust security
strategies. QoS and IGMP snooping/filtering optimize voice and video application. Link
aggregation (LACP) increases aggregated bandwidth, optimizing the transport of business critical
data. SNMP, RMON, WEB/CLI/Telnet Log-in bring abundant management policies. TL-SG3424P
Managed PoE Switch is also a Power Sourcing Equipment. All the Auto-Negotiation RJ45 ports on
the switch support Power over Ethernet function, which can automatically detect and supply power
with those powered devices complying with IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at.

¾ Time Config
Manual: When this option is selected, you can set the date and time
manually.
Get GMT: When this option is selected, you can configure the time zone and
the IP Address for the NTP Server. The switch will get GMT
automatically if it has connected to a NTP Server.
z Time Zone: Select your local time.
z Primary/Secondary NTP Server: Enter the IP Address for the
NTP Server.
Synchronize with
PC’S Clock:
When this option is selected, the administrator PC’s clock is
utilized.
¾ DST Config
DST Status: Enable or Disable DST.
Start Time: Select the Start Time of DST.
End Time: Select the End Time of DST.
15
Note:
When Get GMT is selected and the switch failed to get time from the configured time server, the
switch will change to get time from the latest time server from which you got time successfully or
from the public time server in its default network.
4.1.4 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 4-6 System IP
The following entries are displayed on this screen:
¾ IP Config
MAC Address: Displays MAC Address of the switch.
IP Address Mode: Select the mode to obtain IP Address for the switch.
z Static IP: When this option is selected, you should enter IP
Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway manually.
z DHCP: When this option is selected, the switch will obtain
network parameters from the DHCP Server.
z 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.
16
Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask of the switch.
Default Gateway: Enter the default gateway of the switch.
Note:
1. Changing the IP address to a different IP segment will interrupt the network communication,
so please keep the new IP address in the same IP segment with the local network.
2. The switch only possesses an IP address. The IP address configured will replace the original
IP address.
3. If the switch gets the IP address from DHCP server, you can see the configuration of the
switch in the DHCP server; if DHCP option is selected but no DHCP server exists in the
network, the switch will keep obtaining IP address from DHCP server until success.
4. If DHCP or BOOTP option is selected, the switch will get network parameters dynamically
from the Internet, so IP address, subnet mask and default gateway can not be configured.
5. By default, the default IP address is 192.168.0.1.
4.2 User Manage
