Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Product Overview

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 characterizes 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 extend 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 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. Web, CLI (Console Port, Telnet, SSH), SNMP and RMON bring abundant management policies. TP-LINK JetStream L2 Managed 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.

Note:

■

The SFP port can work at 1000Mbps mode only, and the Link/Act LED of SFP port will lighten only when a 1000Mbps device is connected to the corresponding port.

■

For TL-SG5428, the SFP ports are individual, while for TL-SG5412F, the four RJ45 ports combind with four SFP ports are combo ports, which means that the SFP port with the corresponding RJ45 port cannot work simultaneously. For detailed information about combo port, please refer to
