Chapter 2 Introduction
Thanks for choosing the TL-SG2216/TL-SG2424 Gigabit Smart Switch!
2.1 Overview of the Switch
Designed for workgroups and departments, TL-SG2216/TL-SG2424 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 snooping/filtering optimize voice and video
application. Link aggregation (LACP) increase aggregated bandwidth, optimizing the transport of
business critical data. SNMP, RMON, WEB/CLI/Telnet Log-in bring abundant management
policies. TL-SG2216/TL-SG2424 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.
+ Multicast 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, CLI, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, RMON and web access.
+ Port Mirroring enables monitoring selected ingress/egress traffic.

The front panel of TL-SG2424 is shown as Figure 2-2.
Figure 2-2 Front Panel of TL-SG2424
The following parts are located on the front panel of the switch:
¾Reset: Press this button for five seconds or above to reset the software setting back to factory
default setting.
¾10/100/1000Mbps Ports: Designed to connect to the device with a bandwidth of 10Mbps,
100Mbps or 1000Mbps. Each has a corresponding 1000Mbps LED and link/Act LED.
¾SFP Ports: Designed to install the SFP module. The SFP ports share the same LEDs with the
corresponding RJ45 ports, and they are referred to as “combo” ports, which means they cannot
be used simultaneously, otherwise only SFP ports work.
Note:
When using the SFP port with a 100Mbps module or a gigabit module, you need to configure its
corresponding Speed and Duplex mode on Switching→Port→Port Config page. For 100M
module, please select 100MFD while select 1000MFD for gigabit module. By default, the Speed
and Duplex mode of SFP port is 1000MFD.
