Chapter 2 Introduction
Thanks for choosing the TL-SG2216/TL-SG2424/TL-SG2424P/TL-SG2452 Gigabit Smart Switch!
2.1 Overview of the Switch
Designed for workgroups and departments, TL-SG2216/TL-SG2424/TL-SG2424P/TL-SG2452
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. QoS and IGMP/MLD snooping/filtering optimize voice and video
application. Link aggregation (LACP) increase aggregated bandwidth, optimizing the transport of
business critical data. SNMP/SNMPv6, RMON, Web/Telnet/SSH Log-in bring abundant
management policies.
TL-SG2216/TL-SG2424/TL-SG2424P/TL-SG2452 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
+ IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree provides high link availability in multiple VLAN
environments.
+ IGMP snooping and MLD snooping automatically prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic.
+ Root Guard protects root bridge from malicious attack or configuration mistakes
Layer 2 Switching
+ Supports up to 512 VLANs simultaneously (out of 4K VLAN IDs).
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.
Manageability
+ Supports Telnet, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, RMON and web access.
+ Port Mirroring enables monitoring selected ingress/egress traffic.
+ Simple Network and Management Protocol (SNMP) can be configured over IPv6 transport.
+ IPv6 supports stateless autoconfiguration to manage link, subnet, and site addressing
changes.
+ DHCPv6 enables switch to receive configuration parameters, such as IPv6 network
addresses from DHCPv6 servers.
