Product Overview

Designed for workgroups and departments, TP-Link Omada's L2+ Managed Switch provides wire-speed
performance and abundant L2 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. ACL, 802.1x and Dynamic ARP Inspection provide robust security strategies.
QoS and IGMP snooping/filtering optimize voice and video application. Link aggregation (LACP) increases
aggregated bandwidth, optimizing the transport of business critical data. SNMP, RMON, WEB and CLI
Log-in bring abundant management policies. TP-Link Omada's L2+ Managed 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.
SG3210XHP-M2/SG3218XP-M2 is also a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE*). All the RJ45 ports* on the
switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE*) function, which can automatically detect and supply power to
those powered devices (PDs*) complying with IEEE 802.3af/at.
*For SG3218XP-M2, only port 1-8 supports the Power over Ethernet (PoE) function.
*PSE: a device (switch or hub for instance) that provides power through an Ethernet cable.
*PoE: This technology describes a system to transmit electrical power, along with data, to remote devices
over standard twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet.
*PD: a device powered by a PSE and thus consumes energy. Examples include powering network cameras,
wireless LAN access points, IP telephones, network hubs, embedded computers etc.
