This glossary contains terms commonly used in Embedded Web System documentation.

Term

Definition

A

 

Access Mode

Specifies the method by which user access is granted to the system.

 

Allows network managers to define profiles and rules for accessing the device. Access to

Access Profile

management functions can be limited to user groups, which are defined by the following criteria:

• Ingress interfaces.

 

 

• Source IP address and/or Source IP subnets.

 

 

 

Filters in Access Control Lists (ACL) that determine which network traffic is forwarded.

 

ACE are based on the following criteria:

 

• Protocol.

 

• Protocol ID.

ACE

• Source Port.

 

• Destination Port.

 

• Wildcard Mask.

 

• Source IP Address.

 

• Destination IP Address.

 

 

ACL

Access Control List. Access Control Lists are used to grant, deny, or limit access to

devices, features, or applications.

 

 

 

 

Groups several VLANs into a single aggregated VLAN. Aggregating VLANs enables

Aggregated VLAN

routers to respond to ARP requests for nodes located on different sub-VLANs belonging

 

to the same Super VLAN. Routers respond with their MAC address.

 

 

AH

Authentication Header Protocol. Provides source host authentication and data integrity.

ARP

Address Resolution Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol that converts IP addresses into physical

addresses.

 

 

 

ASIC

Application Specific Integrated Circuit. A custom chip designed for a specific application.

 

 

Asset Tag

Specifies the user-defined device reference.

Authentication Profile

Set of rules that enable login to and authentication of users and applications.

B

 

Back Pressure

A mechanism used with Half Duplex mode that enables a port not to receive a message.

 

The main segment of a network. Backbone types include:

 

• Building.

Backbone

• Campus.

• Metropolitan.

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.
