3.Define the IP Address, Network Mask, Prefix Length and Interface (Port, LAG or VLAN).

4.Click . The new interface is added and the device is updated.

To modify IP interface settings:

1.Click System > System Info > IP Configuration > IP Addressing. The IP Interface Page opens.

2.Click . The IP Interface Settings Page opens:

3.Modify the IP Address and Interface fields.

4.Click . The interface is modified and the device is updated.

6.1.2 Defining the Default Gateway

Packets are forwarded to the default IP when frames are sent to a remote network via the default gateway. The configured IP address must belong to the same subnet of one of the IP interfaces.

To define a default gateway for the system:

1.Click System > System Info > IP Configuration > IP Addressing > Default Gateway. The Default Gateway Page opens:

Figure 56: Default Gateway Page

The Default Gateway Page contains the following fields:

User Defined Default Gateway — Indicates the name of the current default gateway.

Active Default Gateway — Indicates if the current default gateway is defined as active.

Remove — Removes the defined default gateway.

2.Enter the name of the User Defined Default Gateway.

3.Click . The gateway is saved and the device is updated.

6.1.3 Defining DHCP Addresses

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) assigns dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. DHCP ensures that network devices can have a different IP address every time the device connects to the network.

To define DHCP addressing:

1.Click System > System Info > IP Configuration > IP Addressing > DHCP. The DHCP Page opens:

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.
