Enable:

Click the Enable button to enable NDP for the port you select.

Disable:

Click the Disable button to disable NDP for the port you select.

 

 

Note:

 

1.NDP function is effective only when NDP function is enabled globally and for the port.

2.The aging time should be set over the hello time value; otherwise the neighbor information table of NDP ports will be unstable.

15.2 NTDP

NTDP (Neighbor Topology Discovery Protocolis used for the commander switch to collect NDP information. NTDP transmits and forwards NTDP topology collection request based on NDP neighbor information table, and collects the NDP information and neighboring connection information of each device in a specific network range. The commander switch can collects the specified topology in the network regularly and you can also enable topology collection manually on the commander switch.

After the commander switch sends out NTDP request packets, lots of switches receive the request packets and send out response packets at the same time, which may result in network congestion and the commander switch overload. To avoid the above problem, two time parameters are designed to control the spread speed of NTDP request packets.

zNTDP hop delay: Indicates the time between the switch receiving NTDP request packets and the switch forwarding NTDP request packets for the first time.

zNTDP port delay: Indicates the time between the port forwarding NTDP request packets and its adjacent port forwarding NTDP request packets over.

The NTDP function can be implemented on Device Table, NTDP Summary and NTDP Config pages.

On this page you can view the information of the devices collected by NTDP. Meanwhile, no matter whether a cluster is established, on this page you can manually collect NTDP information at any time to manage and control devices.

Choose the menu Cluster→NTDP→Device Table to load the following page.

This feature is particularly beneficial for deploying devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points without the need for additional power sources. With a total power budget of 250W, the TL-SG3424P can support a diverse range of PoE devices, providing convenience and flexibility in deployment.

In terms of management, the TL-SG3424P offers a user-friendly web interface, allowing network administrators to configure and monitor the switch with ease. It supports advanced Layer 2 features, including VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS), and Link Aggregation. These features enhance network performance by optimizing traffic flow and prioritizing essential applications. The switch also includes comprehensive security features, such as Port Security and Access Control Lists (ACL), which help protect against unauthorized access and ensure data integrity.

The build quality of the TL-SG3424P is robust, designed to handle demanding network environments. It includes a fanless design, which ensures silent operation, making it suitable for office environments where noise can be a distraction. The metal chassis is durable and built for longevity, ensuring that the device will withstand rigorous usage over time.

Furthermore, the TL-SG3424P supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), allowing for centralized network monitoring and management. This makes it easier for IT teams to keep track of network health and performance, enabling timely interventions when necessary.

In conclusion, the TP-Link TL-SG3424P is a versatile and powerful managed switch that combines PoE capabilities with advanced network management features, making it a perfect choice for businesses looking to upgrade their network infrastructure. With its reliable performance and robust features, it provides an excellent solution for enhancing productivity and connectivity in any office setting.
