2.6 Device Hardware Interfaces
2.6.1 RJ-45 Base-T Fast Ethernet Ports
RJ-45 ports are auto-sensing ports. When inserting a cable into an RJ-45 port,
11
Gigabit Managed Switch Family Installation Guide
TL-SG3109/TL-SL3428/TL-SL3452
the switch automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10 or 100 or 1000
Mbps) and duplex mode (half- or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports
support only unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an 8-pin
RJ-45 plug.
To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto
Uplink. This technology allows attaching devices to the RJ-45 ports with either
straight-through or crossover cables. When inserting a cable into the switch’s
RJ-45 port, the switch automatically:
Senses whether the cable is a straight-through or crossover cable.
Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a “normal”
connection (such as when connecting the port to a PC) or an “uplink”
connection (such as when connecting the port to a router, switch, or hub).
Configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached
device, without requiring user intervention. In this way, the Auto Uplink
technology compensates for setting uplink connections, while eliminating
concern about whether to use crossover or straight-through cables when
attaching devices.
2.6.2 SFP Port
The GBIC module bays accommodate standard SFP GBIC modules, such as
the TL-SM311LM or TL-SM311LS from TP-LINK, allowing ber connections
on the network.
The SFP GBIC bay accommodates a standard SFP GBIC module. Small
Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) Optical Transceivers are integrated duplex data
links for bi-directional communication over multimode optical ber, designed
for high-speed Fibre Channel data links. The SFP port is designated as
1000Base-FX.
12
Gigabit Managed Switch Family Installation Guide
TL-SG3109/TL-SL3428/TL-SL3452
2.6.3 RS-232 DB-9 Console Port
The DB-9 port is an asynchronous serial console port supporting the RS-232
electrical specification. The port is used to connect the device to a console
managing the device. This interface conguration is as follows:
Eight data bits.
One stop bit.
No parity.
Baud rate is 38400 (default). Possible values of baud rate are 2400, 4800,
9600, 19200, 38400.
2.7 Cable, Port, and Pinout Information
This section describes the devices physical interfaces and provides
information about cable connections. Stations are connected to the device
ports through the physical interface ports on the front panel. For each station,
the appropriate mode (Half/Full Duplex, Auto) is set.
2.7.1 Pin Explain For RJ-45 Connector
The switching port can connect to stations wired in standard RJ-45 Ethernet
station mode using straight cables. Transmission devices connected to each
other use crossed cables. The followinggure illustrates the pin allocation:

Section 3. Mounting Device
3.1 Preparing for Installation
3.1.1 Installation Precautions
Warnings
The surface on which the switch is placed should be adequately secured
to prevent it from becoming unstable and/or falling over.
Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded.
Observe and follow service markings. Do not service any product except
as explained in your system documentation. Opening or removing
covers marked with a triangular symbol with a lighting bolt may cause
electrical shock. These components are to be serviced by trained service
technicians only.
Ensure the power cable, extension cable, and/or plug is not damaged.
Ensure the product is not exposed to water.
Ensure the device is not exposed to radiators and/or heat sources.
Do not push foreign objects into the device, as it may cause a fire or
electric shock.
Use the device only with approved equipment.
Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal
equipment.
Ensure the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-
current protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply
circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all devices installed on the
same circuit as the device being installed. Compare this total with the
rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed
on the switch, near their AC power connectors.

After the device boots successfully, a system prompt is displayed (console>)
which is used to congure the device. However, before conguring the device,
ensure that the latest software version is installed on the device. If it is not the
latest version, download and install the latest version. For more information on
downloading the latest version, see Software Download [Option 1].
4.4 Conguration Overview
Before assigning a static IP address to the device, obtain the following
information:
A specic IP address that has been allocated to the device in order for it to
be congured.
Default route.
Network mask for the network.
There are two conguration types:
Initial Configuration — Consists of configuration functions with basic
security considerations.
Advanced Conguration — Consists of dynamic IP conguration and more
advanced security considerations.
27
Gigabit Managed Switch Family Installation Guide
TL-SG3109/TL-SL3428/TL-SL3452
Note
After making any conguration changes, the new conguration must be saved
before rebooting. To save the conguration, enter:
console# copy running-config startup-config
4.4.1 Initial Conguration
Initial configuration, which starts after the device has booted successfully,
includes static IP address and subnet mask configuration, and setting user
name and privilege level to allow remote management. If the device is to be
managed from an SNMP-based management station, SNMP community
strings must also be congured. The following congurations are completed:
The initial simple conguration uses the following assumptions:
The device was never congured before, and is in the same state as when
it was received.
The device booted successfully.
The Serial connection is established and the console prompt is displayed
on the screen of a VT100 terminal device. (Press the <Enter> key several
times to verify that the prompt displays correctly.)
The device is not congured with a default user name and password.
The initial device configuration is through the Serial port. After the initial
configuration, the device can then be managed either from the already
connected Serial port or remotely through an interface dened during the initial
conguration.
The initial conguration consists of the following:
28
Gigabit Managed Switch Family Installation Guide
TL-SG3109/TL-SL3428/TL-SL3452
Setting a user name and password with the highest privilege level of 15.
Conguring the static IP address and the default gateway.
Conguring the SNMP read/write community string.
Assigning the IP address allocated by the DHCP server.
Before applying the initial conguration procedure to the device, the following
information must be obtained from the network administrator:
The IP address to be assigned to a VLAN through which the device is
managed.
The IP subnet mask for the network.
The default gateway IP address.
The SNMP community.
4.4.1.1 Static IP Address and Subnet Mask
IP interfaces can be congured on each port of the device. After entering the
conguration command, it is recommended to check if a port was congured
with the IP address by entering the show ip interface command.
The commands to congure the device are port specic.
To manage the switch from a remote network, a static route must be
congured, which is an IP address to where packets are sent when no entries
are found in the device tables. The congured IP address must belong to the
same subnet as one of the device IP interfaces.
To configure a static route, enter the command at the system prompt as
shown in the following conguration example, where 100.1.1.1 is the specic
management station, the IP address is dened on VLAN 1, and the default
29
Gigabit Managed Switch Family Installation Guide
TL-SG3109/TL-SL3428/TL-SL3452
gateway is dened as 100.1.1.10. Note that by default, all ports are members
of VLAN 1, which is the default VLAN.
console# configure
console(config)# interface vlan 1
console(config-if)# ip address 100.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
console(config-if)# exit
console# ip default-gateway 100.1.1.10
Conrm that the IP address has been correctly congured as follows:
console# show ip interface
Proxy ARP is disabled
IP Address I/F Type
----------------- ----------- -----------------
100.1.1.1/24 vlan 1 static
4.4.1.2 Assigning Static IP Addresses on a default VLAN
This example uses the following assumptions:
The IP address to be assigned to the VLAN interface is 192.168.1.123
The IP subnet mask for the network is 255.255.255.0
The IP address of the default route is 192.168.1.1
The read/write SNMP community string is "private"

30
Gigabit Managed Switch Family Installation Guide
TL-SG3109/TL-SL3428/TL-SL3452
Verifying the IP and Default Gateway Addresses
Ensure that the IP address and the default gateway were properly assigned by
executing the following command and examining its output:
Gateway IP Address Activity status
----------------------------------------------------------
---- ---
192.168.1.1 Active
IP address Interface Type
------------------- ---------------- --------
192.168.1.123/24 VLAN 1 Static
4.4.1.3 User Name
A user name is used to manage the device remotely, for example through
SSH, Telnet, or the Web interface. To gain complete administrative (super-user)
control over the device, the highest privilege (15) must be specied.
Note
Only the administrator (super-user) with the highest privilege level (15) is
allowed to manage the device through the Web browser interface.
For more information about the privilege level, see the CLI Reference Guide.
The congured user name is entered as a login name for remote management
sessions. To congure user name and privilege level, enter the command at
the system prompt as shown in the conguration example:
console> enable
console# configure
console(config)# username admin password admin level 15
31
Gigabit Managed Switch Family Installation Guide
TL-SG3109/TL-SL3428/TL-SL3452
4.4.1.4 SNMP Community Strings
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a method for
managing network devices. Devices supporting SNMP run a local software
(agent). The SNMP agents maintain a list of variables, used to manage the
device. The variables are dened in the Management Information Base (MIB).
The MIB presents the variables controlled by the agent. The SNMP agent
denes the MIB specication format, as well as the format used to access the
information over the network.
Access rights to the SNMP agents are controlled by access strings and SNMP
community strings.
The device is SNMP-compliant, and contain an SNMP agent that support a
set of standard and private MIB variables. Developers of management stations
require the exact structure of the MIB tree and receive the complete private
MIBs information before being able to manage the MIBs.
All parameters are manageable from any SNMP management platform,
except the SNMP management station IP address and community (community
name and access rights). The SNMP management access to the switch is
disabled if no community strings exist.
Note
The device switch is delivered with no community strings congured.
The community-string, community-access, and IP address can be congured
through the local terminal during the initial conguration procedure.
The SNMP conguration options are:
32
Gigabit Managed Switch Family Installation Guide
TL-SG3109/TL-SL3428/TL-SL3452
Community string
– Access rights options: ro (read only), rw (read-and-write) or su (super).
– An option to configure IP address or not: If an IP address is not
configured, it means that all community members having the same
community name are granted the same access rights.
Common practice is to use two community strings for the switch one (public
community) with read-only access and the other (private community) with
read-write access. The public string allows authorized management stations
to retrieve MIB objects, while the private string allows authorized management
stations to retrieve and modify MIB objects.
During initial configuration, it is recommended to configure the device
according to the network administrator requirements, in accordance with
using an SNMP-based management station. During the initial configuration
procedure the community-string, community-access, and IP address can be
set through the local terminal.
The SNMP conguration options are:
Community string.
– Read Only—Indicates that the community members can view
conguration information, but cannot change any information.
– Read/Write — Indicates that the community members can view and
modify conguration information.
– Super — Indicates that the community members have administration
access.
Configurable IP address. If IP address is not configured, all community
members with the same community name are granted the same access
rights.
33
Gigabit Managed Switch Family Installation Guide
TL-SG3109/TL-SL3428/TL-SL3452
To congure SNMP station IP address and community string(s) perform the
following:
1. At the console prompt, enter the command Enable. The prompt is displayed as
#.
2. Enter the command congure and press <Enter>.
3. In the conguration mode, enter the SNMP conguration command with
the parameters including community name (private), community access
right (read and write) and IP address, as shown in the following example:
console# configure

4.5 Advanced Conguration
This section provides information about dynamic allocation of IP addresses
and security management based on the authentication, authorization, and
34
Gigabit Managed Switch Family Installation Guide
TL-SG3109/TL-SL3428/TL-SL3452
accounting (AAA) mechanism, and includes the following topics:
Receiving an IP Address from a DHCP Server
Receiving an IP Address from a BOOTP Server
Security Management and Password Conguration
When conguring or receiving IP addresses through DHCP and BOOTP, the
conguration received from these servers includes the IP address, and may
include a subnet mask and default gateway.
4.5.1 Receiving an IP Address from a DHCP Server
When using the DHCP protocol to retrieve an IP address, the device acts as
a DHCP client. To receive an IP address from a DHCP server, perform the
following steps:
1. Select and connect any port to a DHCP server or to a subnet that has a
DHCP server on it, in order to retrieve the IP address.
2. Enter the following commands to use the selected port for receiving the IP
address. In the following example, the commands are based on the port
type used for conguration.
console# configure
console(config)# interface vlan 1
console(config-if)# ip address dhcp hostname admin-host
console(config-if)# exit
console(config)#
3. To verify the IP address, enter the show ip interface command at the
system prompt as shown in the following example.
35
Gigabit Managed Switch Family Installation Guide
TL-SG3109/TL-SL3428/TL-SL3452
console# show ip interface
IP Address I/F Type
-------------------- --------------- --------------
100.1.1.1/24 vlan 1 dynamic
Note
The device configuration does not have to be deleted to retrieve an IP
address for the DHCP server.
When copying configuration files, avoid using a configuration file that
contains an instruction to enable DHCP on an interface that connects to
the same DHCP server, or to one with an identical conguration.As a result
of the copying conguration, the switch retrieves the new conguration le
and boots from it. The device then enables DHCP as instructed in the new
conguration le, and the DHCP instructs it to reload the same le.
4.5.2 Receiving an IP Address from a BOOTP Server
The standard BOOTP protocol is supported and enables the switch to
automatically download its IP host conguration from any standard BOOTP
server in the network. In this case, the device acts as a BOOTP client.
To receive an IP address from a BOOTP server:
1. Select and connect any port to a BOOTP server or subnet containing such
a server.
2. At the system prompt, enter the delete startup conguration command to
delete the startup conguration from ash.
The device reboots with no conguration and in 60 seconds starts sending
BOOTP requests. The device receives the IP address automatically.
36
Gigabit Managed Switch Family Installation Guide
TL-SG3109/TL-SL3428/TL-SL3452
Note
When the device reboot begins, any input at the ASCII terminal or keyboard
automatically cancels the BOOTP process before completion, and the device
does not receive an IP address from the BOOTP server.
The following example illustrates the process:
console> enable
console# delete startup-config
Startup file was deleted
console# reload
You haven’t saved your changes. Are you sure you want to continue (Y/N)[N]?
This command will reset the whole system and disconnect your current
session. Do you want to continue (Y/N)[N]?
***************************************************
***************** SYSTEM RESET *****************
***************************************************
3. To verify the IP address, enter the show ip interface command. The
device is now congured with an IP address.
4.5.3 Security Management and Password Conguration
System security is handled through the AAA (Authentication, Authorization,
and Accounting) mechanism that manages user access rights, privileges, and
management methods. AAA uses both local and remote user databases. Data
encryption is handled through the SSH mechanism.
The system is delivered with no default password congured; all passwords
are user-defined. If a user-defined password is lost, a password recovery
procedure can be invoked from the Startup menu. The procedure is applicable
for the local terminal only and allows a one-time access to the device from the
local terminal with no password entered.
37
Gigabit Managed Switch Family Installation Guide
TL-SG3109/TL-SL3428/TL-SL3452
4.5.3.1 Conguring Security Passwords Introduction
The security passwords can be congured for the following services:
Console
Telnet
SSH
HTTP
HTTPS
Note
Passwords are user-dened.
When creating a user name, the default priority is "1," which allows
access but not conguration rights. A priority of "15" must be set to enable
access and conguration rights to the device. Although user names can
be assigned privilege level 15 without a password, it is recommended to
always assign a password. If there is no specified password, privileged
users can access the Web interface with any password.
4.5.3.2 Conguring an Initial Console Password
To congure an initial console password, enter the following commands:
console(config)# aaa authentication login default line
console(config)# aaa authentication enable default line
console(config)# line console
console(config-line)# login authentication default
console(config-line)# enable authentication default
console(config-line)# password george
When initially logging on to a device through a console session, enter george
at the password prompt.
38
Gigabit Managed Switch Family Installation Guide
