Definition

I

IAD

Integrated Access Device. Device that multiplexes varied communication technologies

onto a single telephone line for transmission to the carrier.

 

 

 

IC

Integrated Circuit. Small electronic devices composed from semiconductor material.

ICMP

Internet Control Message Protocol. Allows the gateway or destination host to

communicate with the source host. For example, to report a processing error.

 

 

 

IDRP

Inter-Domain Routing Protocol. Specifies how routers communicate with different domain

routers.

 

 

 

IEEE

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. An engineering organization that

develops communications and networking standards.

 

 

 

IEEE 802.1d

Used in the Spanning Tree Protocol, IEEE 802.1d supports MAC bridging to avoid

network loops.

 

IEEE 802.1p

Prioritizes network traffic at the data-link/MAC sub-layer.

EEE 802.1q

Defines the operation of VLAN Bridges that permit the definition, operation, and

administration of VLANs within Bridged LAN infrastructures.

 

 

 

IGMP

Internet Group Management Protocol. Allows hosts to notify their local switch or router

that they want to receive transmissions assigned to a specific multicast group.

 

 

 

IGP

Interior Gateway Protocol. Allows for routing information exchange between gateways in

an autonomous network.

 

 

 

Image File

System images are saved in two Flash sectors called images image 1 and image 2). The

active image stores the active copy; while the other image stores a second copy.

 

Ingress Port

Ports on which network traffic is received.

IP

Internet Protocol. Specifies the format of packets and their addressing method.IP

addresses packets and forwards the packets to the correct port.

 

 

 

IP Address

Internet Protocol Address. A unique address assigned to a network device with two or

more interconnected LANs or WANs.

 

 

 

IPM

IP Multicast. Transmits multicast packets in a network. Multicast routing copies one

packet to several ports.

 

 

 

 

IP Version 6. Provides a newer version of the Internet Protocol, and follows IP version

TPv6

4 (IPv4). IPv6 increases the IP address size from 32 bits to 128 bits. In addition, IPv6

support more levels of addressing hierarchy, more addressable nodes, and supports

 

 

simpler auto-configuration of addresses.

 

 

IPX

Internetwork Packet Exchange. Transmits connectionless communications.

ISIS

Intermediate System to Intermediate System. Provides Link State PDUs (LSPs)

authentication by including authentication information as part of the LSP.

 

 

 

J

 

Jumbo Frames

Enable transporting identical data in fewer frames. Jumbo Frames reduce overhead,

lower the processing time, and ensure fewer interruptions.

 

 

 

K

 

Key Chain

Group of MD5 keys assigned to an interface. Key chains are assigned to interfaces in the

RIP or OSPF interface parameters.

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.
