Figure 120: QoS Queue Settings Page

The QoS Queue Settings Page contains the following fields:

Queue — Indicates the queue number.

Scheduling

Strict Priority — Indicates that traffic scheduling for the selected queue is based strictly on the queue priority.

WRR — Indicates that traffic scheduling for the selected queue is based strictly on the WRR.

WWR Weight — If WRR is selected, indicates the predetemined weights 8, 2, 4, and 1 for queues 4,3,2 and 1.

% of WWR Bandwidth — If WWR weight is selected, indicates the percentage

2.Define the fields.

3.Click . The QoS queue settings are saved and the device is updated.

12.3 Mapping Queues

This section contains the following topics:

Mapping CoS Values to Queues

Mapping QoS Values to Queues

12.3.1 Mapping CoS Values to Queues

The CoS to Queue Page contains fields for classifying CoS settings to traffic queues.

To set CoS to Queue:

1.Click System > Quality of Service > Queue Mapping > CoS to Queue. The CoS to Queue Page opens:

Figure 121: CoS to Queue Page

Class of Service — Specifies the CoS priority tag values, where zero is the lowest and 8 is the highest.

Queue — Defines the traffic forwarding queue to which the CoS priority is mapped. Four traffic priority queues are supported, where zero is the lowest and 8 is the highest.

Restore Defaults — Allows you to restore default settings.

2.Modify the Queue values or select Restore Defaults.

3.Click . The CoS to Queue mapping settings are saved and the device is updated.

12.3.2 Mapping QoS Values to Queues

The DSCP to Queue Page contains fields for classifying DSCP settings to traffic queues. For example, a packet with a DSCP tag value of 3 can be assigned to queue 2.

To set DSCP to queues:

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.
