Full Control: Your Network, Your Rules
The TP-Link TL-SG3428 gives you the freedom to manage your Network the way you want. Use the intuitive, web-based graphical user interface (GUI) for quick and easy configuration. For experienced administrators, a full command-line interface (CLI) is available via console port, Telnet, or secure SSH. The real game-changer, however, is the integration into the Omada SDN platform. Manage this and other Switches, Access Points, and Routers centrally via the cloud – ideal for managing multiple locations or simply for maximum convenience.
Enterprise-Level Security with the L2+ Switch
Security is not an option, but a necessity. This Ethernet Switch is packed with advanced security features that protect your Network from threats. Define precisely who can access which resources with Access Control Lists (ACLs). Prevent unauthorized access with 802.1X and RADIUS authentication and protect yourself from attacks like ARP spoofing or DoS attacks. With the TL-SG3428, you build a secure and robust Network foundation.
Silent 24 Port Gigabit Switch for Maximum Performance
Performance meets silence. With 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports and four additional SFP slots for high-speed fiber connections, the TL-SG3428 offers more than enough capacity for small to medium-sized business Networks. The backplane with 56 Gbps switching capacity ensures that there are no bottlenecks even with high data volumes. The best part? Thanks to its clever, fanless design, the Switch operates completely silently and can be easily placed directly in the office or home lab without disturbing. Installation in professional 19-Inch Racks is, of course, also possible.
Flexibility for Professionals: VLAN Segmentation and QoS
Bring structure and efficiency to your Network. As a powerful Managed Switch for small businesses, the TL-SG3428 allows you to create Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs). This cleanly separates data traffic from different departments, guests, or IoT devices to increase security and performance. With Quality of Service (QoS), you prioritize important data traffic such as Voice-over-IP or video conferences to ensure consistently high quality. This Network Switch for VLAN Segmentation is the ideal tool for demanding users.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the TP-Link TL-SG3428 be used without the Omada Cloud?
Yes, absolutely. The switch is fully functional in standalone mode and can be configured and managed via its own web-based user interface (GUI) or command line (CLI). Omada SDN integration is an optional but powerful additional feature.
What does 'L2+' mean for this switch?
'L2+' means that the switch primarily operates at Layer 2 (data link layer, MAC addresses) but also has basic Layer 3 functions (network layer, IP addresses). For the TL-SG3428, this is mainly static routing, which enables simple network segmentation without an external router.
Is the switch suitable for a home network?
Yes, the switch is very well suited for ambitious home users and home labs. Its fanless design ensures quiet operation. The extensive VLAN and QoS functions enable professional network segmentation, e.g., for separating IoT devices, guest access, and the core network.
Do I need special SFP modules from TP-Link?
Although TP-Link offers its own SFP modules, the switch is generally compatible with most standard Gigabit SFP modules from third-party vendors. However, for guaranteed compatibility and support, it is advisable to check TP-Link's compatibility list or use their own modules.
Does the TL-SG3428 support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, this specific model (TL-SG3428) does not support PoE. However, there are PoE variants in the same product family, such as the TL-SG3428MP, which offer PoE+ functionality to power devices like Access Points or IP Cameras.
How do I reset the switch to factory settings?
The switch has a reset button on the front. To reset it to factory settings, the button must be held down for about 5-10 seconds while the device is powered on, until the SYS LED flashes rapidly.
