Typical Applications - TP-Link TL-SG3424 User Manual

For different network applications, the subnet mask may look like
255.255.255.240. This means it is a small network accommodating a maximum of
15 nodes in the network.
Default gateway:
For the routed packet, if the destination is not in the routing table, all the
traffic is put into the device with the designated IP address, known as default router.
Basically, it is a routing policy. The gateway setting is used for Trap Events Host
only in the switch.
For assigning an IP address to the switch, you just have to check what the IP
address of the network will be connected with the switch. Use the same network
address and append your host address to it.
Fig. 2-12
First, IP Address: as shown in the Fig. 2-12, enter "192.168.223.100", for
instance. For sure, an IP address such as 192.168.223.x must be set on your PC.
Second, Subnet Mask: as shown in the Fig. 2-12, enter "255.255.255.0". Any
subnet mask such as 255.255.255.x is allowable in this case.
DNS:
The Domain Name Server translates human readable machine name to IP
address. Every machine on the Internet has a unique IP address. A server generally
has a static IP address. To connect to a server, the client needs to know the IP of
the server. However, user generally uses the name to connect to the server. Thus,
the switch DNS client program (such as a browser) will ask the DNS to resolve the
IP address of the named server.

with auto MDIX and two slots for the removable module supporting comprehensive
fiber types of connection, including LC and BiDi-LC SFP modules. For more details
on the specification of the switch, please refer to Appendix A.
The switch is suitable for the following applications.
Central Site/Remote site application is used in carrier or ISP (See Fig. 2-13)

Peer-to-peer application is used in two remote offices (See Fig. 2-14)

Office network(See Fig. 2-15)
