Chapter 2 Introduction
Thanks for choosing the TL-SG5428/TL-SG5412F JetStream L2 Managed Switch!
2.1 Overview of the Switch
TL-SG5428 and TL-SG5412F are Gigabit Ethernet switching products recently developed by
TP-LINK. TL-SG5428 possesses 24 RJ45 ports and 4 SFP slots, while TL-SG5412F
characterizing with 12 SFP slots and 4 RJ45 ports. The SFP slot enables remote connection with
SFP slots on other devices through SFP module and fiber. TL-SG5412F is compatible with all
kinds of gigabit SFP modules. Here you are recommended to choose gigabit SFP module
produced by TP-LINK, which can perfectly extended your network and enlarge the bandwidth.
TL-SG5412F is your first choice to extend the originally large and medium-sized network.
Designed for workgroups and departments, TL-SG5428/TL-SG5412F 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. ACL, 802.1x, IP Source Guard and Dynamic ARP Inspection
provide robust security strategy. 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-SG5428/TL-SG5412F 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.

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.
16
Figure 4-7 System IP
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.
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 one 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.
17
4. If DHCP or BOOTP option is selected, the switch will get network parameters dynamically
from the Internet, which means that IP address, subnet mask and default gateway can not be
configured.
5. By default, the IP address is 192.168.0.1.
4.2 User Management
