IP Address - Indicates the station IP address, which is associated with the MAC address filled in below.

MAC Address - Displays the station MAC address, which is associated in the ARP table with the IP address.

Status - Displays the ARP table entry type. Possible field values are:

–Dynamic — Indicates the ARP entry is learned dynamically.

–Static — Indicates the ARP entry is a static entry.

Remove — Removes a specific ARP entry. The possible field values are:

–Checked — Removes the selected ARP entries.

–Unchecked - Maintains the current ARP entries.

2.Define the ARP Entry Age Out parameter.

3.Define the Clear ARP Table Entries parameter.

4.Click . The Add ARP Entry Page opens:

5.Select the Interface (Port, LAG or VLAN).

6.Define the IP Address and the MAC Address.

7.Click . The new entry is added to ARP, and the device is updated.

6.2 Defining Domain Name System

Domain Name System (DNS) converts user-defined domain names into IP addresses. Each time a domain name is assigned, the DNS service translates the name into a numeric IP address. For example, www.ipexample.com is translated into 192.87.56.2. DNS servers maintain databases of domain names and their corresponding IP addresses.

6.2.1 Defining DNS Servers

The DNS Server Page contains fields for enabling and activating specific DNS servers.

To enable DNS and define the DNS server:

1.Click System > System Info > IP Configuration > Domain Name System. The DNS Server Page opens:

Figure 61: DNS Server Page

The DNS Server Page contains the following fields:

Enable DNS — Enables translating the DNS names into IP addresses. The possible field values are:

–Checked — Translates the domains into IP addresses.

–Unchecked — Disables translating domains into IP addresses.

Default Domain Name — Specifies the user-defined DNS server name.

Type — Displays the IP address type. The possible

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.
