Chapter 2 Introduction Thanks for choosing the TL-SG5428/TL-SG5412F JetStream L2 Managed Switch! 2.1 Overview of the Switch TL-SG5428 and TL-SG5412F are Gigabit Ethernet switching products recently developed by TP-LINK. TL-SG5428 possesses 24 RJ45 ports and 4 SFP slots, while TL-SG5412F characterizing with 12 SFP slots and 4 RJ45 ports. The SFP slot enables remote connection with SFP slots on other devices through SFP module and fiber. TL-SG5412F is compatible with all kinds of gigabit SFP modules. Here you are recommended to choose gigabit SFP module produced by TP-LINK, which can perfectly extended your network and enlarge the bandwidth. TL-SG5412Fis your first choice to extend the originally large and medium-sized network. Designed for workgroups and departments, TL-SG5428/TL-SG5412F from TP-LINK provides wire-speed performance and full set of layer 2 management features. It provides a variety of service features and multiple powerful functions with high security. The EIA-standardized framework and smart configuration capacity can provide flexible solutions for a variable scale of networks. ACL, 802.1x, IP Source Guard and Dynamic ARP Inspection provide robust security strategy. QoS and IGMP snooping/filtering optimize voice and video application. Link aggregation (LACP) increases aggregated bandwidth, optimizing the transport of business critical data. SNMP, RMON, WEB/CLI/Telnet Log-in bring abundant management policies. TL-SG5428/TL-SG5412F Switch integrates multiple functions with excellent performance, and is friendly to manage, which can fully meet the need of the users demanding higher networking performance. 2.2 Main Features  Resiliency and Availability + Link aggregation (LACP) increases aggregated bandwidth, optimizing the transport of business critical data. + IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree provides high link availability in multiple VLAN environments. + Multicast snooping automatically prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic. + Root Guard protects root bridge from malicious attack or configuration mistakes  Layer 2 Switching + GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) allows automatic learning and dynamic assignment of VLANs. + Supports 802.1Q VLAN.  Quality of Service + Supports L2/L3 granular CoS with 4 priority queues per port. + Rate limiting confines the traffic flow accurately according to the preset value.  Security + Supports multiple industry standard user authentication methods such as 802.1x, RADIUS. + IP Source Guard prevents IP spoofing attacks. 7
