Section 1. Getting Started

This section provides an introduction to the user interface, and includes the following topics:

Configuring the device to use TP-Link Embedded Web Interface

Starting the TP-Link Embedded Web Interface

Understanding the TP-Link Embedded Web Interface

Using Screen and Table Options

Resetting the Device

Logging Off from the Device

1.1 Configuring the device to use TP-Link Embedded Web Interface

When the device is received, the Embedded Web Interface can not be accessed until the device is properly configured. To use TP-Link Embedded Web Interface, use the console interface to assign an IP address and subnet mask on the default VLAN, and add a super-user with the highest privilege level (15) which is allowed to log onto the device via Embedded Web Interface. Below is an example:

console> en console# config

console(config)# username admin password admin level 15 console(config)# interface vlan 1

console(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 console(config-if)# exit

console(config)# exit

console# copy running-config startup-config

01-Jan-2000 01:02:49 %COPY-I-FILECPY: Files Copy - source URL running-config destination URL flash:// startup-config

01-Jan-2000 01:02:50 %COPY-W-TRAP: The copy operation was completed successfully Copy succeeded

The above example uses the following assumptions:

The user name and password are both "admin"

The IP address assigned to the default VLAN is 192.168.1.1

The subnet mask for the network is 255.255.255.0

Once the device is configured as above, you can open the Embedded Web Interface authentication page by typing the URL "http://192.168.1.1/" into the location bar of the web browser. And then use "admin" as both the user name and password to log onto the device.

For more detailed information on how to configure the device via console interface, read "Section 4. Starting and Configuring the Device" in the TP-Link Installation Guide.

TL-SG3109, TL-SL3428, TL-SL3452 specifications

The TP-Link TL-SL3428 is a feature-rich Ethernet switch designed for small to medium-sized business environments. It is part of TP-Link’s JetStream series, which emphasizes reliability, performance, and robust management capabilities. Built with 28 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, the TL-SL3428 provides sufficient bandwidth to support a wide range of network applications.

One of the standout features of the TL-SL3428 is its support for Layer 2 management protocols. This allows for more granular control and optimized performance across network segments. The switch supports VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) segmentation, which enhances network security and efficiency by isolating various types of traffic. This feature is particularly useful in larger organizations where different departments or teams may require separate network environments.

The TL-SL3428 also includes advanced QoS (Quality of Service) capabilities. This functionality prioritizes traffic based on predefined rules, which ensures that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth to function optimally. With QoS implementation, users can experience minimized latency, leading to better performance in VoIP and video conferencing applications.

In terms of redundancy and reliability, the switch also supports Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), enabling multiple connections to be combined for increased bandwidth and failover support. This feature significantly enhances network resilience, ensuring minimal downtime during failures.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) support is another important characteristic of the TL-SL3428. With PoE capabilities, this switch can deliver electrical power along with data over the same Ethernet cable, simplifying installation and reducing the need for additional wiring. This is especially advantageous for IP devices like cameras, access points, and VoIP phones.

Security features are abundant in the TL-SL3428 as well. It implements port security, storm control, and DHCP snooping, all of which contribute to a secure network infrastructure. The switch’s management capabilities can be accessed through a user-friendly web interface, making it easier for IT administrators to configure and monitor network activities.

Overall, the TP-Link TL-SL3428 is an exemplary choice for businesses looking to enhance their network performance with advanced management features, security protocols, and reliability. Its combination of speed, flexibility, and manageability make it a valuable tool for any growing organization.
