FD: full-duplex, the port supports transmission between the device and its link partner in both directions simultaneously. Switch support auto negotiation is a protocol between two link partners that enables a port to advertise its transmission rate and duplex mode to its partner.
Web Smart Gigabit Switch Family User's Guide TL-SG2109WEB/TL-SL2210WEB/TL-SL2218WEB/TL-SL2428WEB/TL-SL2452WEB If the port security is enabled, it will not learn new MAC address and only transmit the frames from the MAC address list in the port’s static MAC address table. 4.2.2 Port Statistic and Port Status Port Statistic calculates the statistics of each port, such as how many frames, error frames, broadcast frames it has received, and so on.
DHCP client function of the switch, then the switch will automatically obtain IP address, netmask and default gateway from the DHCP server. If more than one DHCP servers are available in the network, the switch will choose one according to a specific algorithm.
IP address being equipped. 4.3.2 Aging Time and Dynamic Address Table A dynamic MAC address table is maintained inside the switch. A MAC address is the physical address of a network device; it is six-bytes long and should be hole in a subnet.
4.3.5 Dynamic Binding A switch port in dynamic binding state can bind a specified number of MAC address. Once the specified number is reached, the port transfers into secure state automatically and stops binding MAC addresses. The bound MAC addresses won’t age, they can be removed by disabling the dynamic binding...

This page provides the function of adding, searching a filtering MAC address and changing the entry state. The filtering MAC address entry is applicable to all switch ports. The operating instruments, which are similar to “Static MAC Address”, are omitted here.
If dynamic binding is disabled, the switch port learns MAC address unlimitedly (at most 8000 entries can be learned). A switch port with dynamic binding enabled can bind a specified number of MAC address. The MAC addresses bound by the switch port are always valid and won’t age.

Number of Bound MAC Address: Indicates the number of MAC addresses that already bind to a switch port. State: Indicates the switch port state that may be binding, free port, secure port, unplugged or "--". A further explanation is stated below.
3) A "Refresh" button is provided to look up the latest number of bound MAC address. Notice: If the switch port is a trunk member or an unplugged SFP port, the binding function of the port cannot be configured here. 5.3.3.5 Bound MAC Address...
Aging Time (0~3825): When a new MAC address is learned by the switch, it will be added to the dynamic MAC address table and a relative timer will be generated immediately. If no packet taking the MAC address as its source passes through the switch in a specified length of time, that MAC address will be removed from the MAC address table.
MAC address table are free of the aging time. 5.3.3.7 Ping The ping function is to test the connectedness of the link between the switch and destination. This page is showed as below: Destination IP Address: Indicates the IP Address of the test destination.

TL-SG2109WEB/TL-SL2210WEB/TL-SL2218WEB/TL-SL2428WEB/TL-SL2452WEB 7) The number of Port VLAN that can be set depends on the switch type. See the Appendix C for details. 5.3.4.5 MTU VLAN Setting This page, which is designed to configure the uplink port, displays when the switch is in MTU VLAN mode.
2) SFP and 1000M port in TL-SL2210WEB/TL-SL2218WEB/TL- SL2428WEB/TL-SL2452WEB, is not able to be the Trunk member. 3) Trunks cannot be set if the switch is in MTU VLAN mode. 5.3.6 Priority Setting Priority setting contains four topics: priority mode, port-based priority, port default priority and 802.1p priority.
Priority Class: In port-based priority mode, the switch ports are classified into four priority classes: lowest, lower, higher and highest. All the packets entering from the port of the switch are forwarded in the corresponding priority queue. Web Smart Gigabit Switch Family User's Guide Figure 5-43 Priority Mode Figure 5-44.
5.3.6.3 Port Default Priority This page is revealed when the “IEEE802.1p” mode is configured. When a switch port receives an untagged frame (a frame without priority tag), the port's default priority tag will be inserted into the frame before any other process.
1,2,4,8 weighting is applied to forward these four classes of packets. Further explanation In IEEE802.1p priority mode, when a switch port receives an untagged frame (a frame without priority tag), the port's default priority tag will be inserted into the frame before any other process.
