The following parts are located on the front panel of the switch:
10/100/1000Mbps Ports: Designed to connect to the device with a bandwidth of 10Mbps,
100Mbps or 1000Mbps. Each has a corresponding 1000Mbps LED.
SFP Ports: Designed to install the SFP module. TL-SG3216/TL-SG3424 switch features some
SFP transceiver slots that are shared with the associated RJ45 ports. The associated two ports
are referred to as “Combo” ports, which means they cannot be used simultaneously, otherwise
only SFP ports work. TL-SG3210 features two individual SFP ports.
Note:
For TL-SG3216/TL-SG3424 switch, when using the SFP port with a 100M module or a gigabit
module, you need to configure its corresponding Speed and Duplex mode on
Switching→Port→Port Config page. For 100M module, please select 100MFD while select
1000MFD for gigabit module. By default, the Speed and Duplex mode of SFP port is 1000MFD.
For TL-SG3210, it only supports 1000MFD mode.

and configuring the switch.
