Accessing the Switch

Determine the Management Method

Before building your network, choose a proper method to manage your switch based

on your actual network situation. The switch can support two configuration options:

Standalone Mode or Controller Mode.

Note:

Only TL-SG2428P supports Controller Mode.

■

Controller Mode

If you want to configure and manage a large-scale network centrally, which consists of

devices such as access points, switches, and gateways, Controller Mode is recommended.

In Controller Mode, the switch can be centrally configured and monitored via an Omada

Software Controller, Hardware Controller, or Cloud-Based Controller.

For detailed instructions about the network topology in such situations and how to use an

Omada Software Controller, Hardware Controller or Cloud-Based Controller, refer to the

Omada SDN Controller User Guide. The guide can be found on the download center of our

official website:

https://www.tp-link.com/download-center.html

■

Standalone Mode

If you have a relatively small-sized network and only one or just a small number of devices

need to be managed, Standalone Mode is recommended. In Standalone Mode, the switch

can be singly configured and monitored via the GUI (Graphical User Interface, also called

web interface in this text) or via the CLI (Command Line Interface). There are equivalent

functions in the web interface and the command line interface, while web configuration is

easier and more visual than the CLI configuration. You can choose the method according

to their available applications and preference.

This User Guide introduces how to configure and monitor the switch in Standalone Mode.

Note:

•

The GUI and CLI is inaccessible while the switch is managed by a controller. To turn the switch

back to Standalone Mode and access its GUI and CLI, you can forget the switch on the controller

to reset the switch.

•

The first time you log in, change the password to better protect your network and devices.
