Thanks for choosing the T2700G-28TQ JetStream 28-Port Gigabit Stackable L2+ Managed
Switch!

2.1 Overview of the Switch

T2700G-28TQ is TP-LINK's JetStream Layer 2+ Stackable Switch, supporting up to 4 SFP+ slots.
T2700G-28TQ is ideal for large enterprises, campuses or SMB networks requiring an outstanding,
reliable and affordable 10 Gigabit solution. T2700G-28TQ supports stacking of up to 8 units, thus
providing flexible scalability and protective redundancy for your networks. Moreover, aiming to
better protect your network, T2700G-28TQ's main power is removable, with the help of TP-LINK's
RPS, administrators can easily change its main power if it encounters some problems without
shutting down the switch. This feature enables your network to really enjoy the benefit of
uninterrupted operation.
T2700G-28TQ can be upgraded to provide layer 3 routing features with the addition of a layer 3
license. A Layer 3 upgraded T2700G-28TQ supports advanced routing protocols such as OSPF,
VRRP, IGMP and PIM DM/SM for converged networks.
Tips:
To obtain the T2700G-28TQ Layer 3 License T2700G-28TQ-L1000:
1. Buy a license key from a TP-LINK authorized distributor.
2. Go to T2700G-28TQ page at TP-LINK website, use the license key together with the switch
