HAPTER TL-SL5428 BOUT THE Overview The TL-SL5428 is a Fast Ethernet switch with 24 10/100BASE-TX ports and four Gigabit combination ports that are comprised of an RJ-45 port and an SFP transceiver slot. The switch also includes an SNMP-based management agent embedded on the main board. This agent supports both in-band and out-of-band access for managing the switch. -
Page 12: About The Tl-Sl5428
This prevents errors from being propagated throughout the network. Network Management Options The TL-SL5428 switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a-glance” monitoring of network and port status. It also includes a management agent that allows you to configure or monitor the switch using its embedded management software, or via SNMP applications. -

Page 19: Network Planning
HAPTER ETWORK LANNING Introduction to Switching A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via non-crossbar switching. This means that it can partition a network more efficiently than bridges or routers. The switch has, therefore, been recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today’s networking technology. -
Page 20: Application Examples
ETWORK LANNING Application Examples The TL-SL5428 switch is not only designed to segment your network, but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network connections. Some typical applications are described below. Collapsed Backbone The TL-SL5428 switch is an excellent choice for Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet installations where significant growth is expected in the near future. -
Page 21: Network Aggregation Plan
Network Aggregation Plan With 28 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 28 distinct collision domains), the TL-SL5428 switch can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. In the figure below, the 10/100BASE-TX ports are providing 100 Mbps connectivity through layer 2 switches. -
Page 22: Remote Connections With Fiber Cable
ETWORK LANNING Remote Connections with Fiber Cable Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type. A 1000BASE-SX (MMF) link can connect to a site up to 550 meters away, a 1000BASE-LX (SMF) link up to 5 km, and a 1000BASE-ZX link up to 100 km. -
Page 23: Making Vlan Connections
PPLICATION XAMPLES Making VLAN Connections This switch supports VLANs which can be used to organize any group of network nodes into separate broadcast domains. VLANs confine broadcast traffic to the originating group, and can eliminate broadcast storms in large networks. This provides a more secure and cleaner network environment. -
Page 24: Application Notes
ETWORK LANNING Application Notes 1. Full-duplex operation only applies to point-to-point access (such as when a switch is attached to a workstation, server or another switch). When the switch is connected to a hub, both devices must operate in half-duplex mode. 2. -

Page 45: Cables
PPENDIX ABLES Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments For 10/100BASE-TX connections, the twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. For 1000BASE-T connections the twisted-pair cable must have four pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, green with white stripes. -
Page 46: 10Base-T/100Base-Tx Pin Assignments
ABLES 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100-ohm Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps connections, or 100-ohm Category 5 or better cable for 100 Mbps connections.
