In addition to wire-speed performance, they can provide abundant L2 and L2/L3 management features, respectively. A variety of service features and multiple powerful functions with high security are also available. The EIA-standardized framework and smart configuration capacity can provide flexible solutions for a variable scale of networks. For Campus switches, RIP, and OSPF come with abundant Layer 3 routing protocols that support a scalable network. Physical stacking for built-in redundancy and performance. ERPS supports rapid protection and recovery in a ring topology. All types of switches are embedded with powerful software features: ACL, 802.1x, and Dynamic ARP Inspection provide robust security strategies. QoS and IGMP snooping/filtering optimize voice and video applications. Link aggregation (LACP) increases aggregated bandwidth, optimizing the transport of business-critical data. SNMP, RMON, WEB, and CLI Log-in bring abundant management policies. The switches integrate multiple functions with excellent performance, and are friendly to manage, which can fully meet the needs of users demanding higher networking performance. SG3428MP/SG3428XMP/SG3428XMPP/SG5428XMPP/SG5452XMPP 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*) compliant with IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at. Additionally, SG3428XMPP/SG5428XMPP/SG5452XMPP can also power PDs compliant with IEEE 802.3bt.

• Site Requirements

Temperature/Humidity

Keep the equipment room at an appropriate level of temperature and humidity. Too much or too little humidity may lead to bad insulation, leakage of electricity, mechanical property changes, and corrosion. High temperatures may accelerate the aging of the insulation materials, significantly shortening the service life of the device. To find out the best temperature and humidity conditions for the device, check the Appendix B Specifications.

Clearness
The dust accumulated on the switch can be absorbed by static electricity and result in poor contact of the metal contact points. Some measures have been taken for the device to prevent static electricity, but too strong static electricity can cause deadly damage to the electronic elements on the internal circuit board. To avoid the effect of static electricity on the operation of the switch, attach much importance to the following items:

• Dust the device regularly, and keep the indoor air clean.
• Keep the device well grounded and ensure that the static electricity has been transferred.

Electromagnetic Interference
Electronic elements, including capacitance and inductance on the device, can be affected by external interferences, such as conducted emission by capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, and impedance coupling. To decrease the interferences, make sure to take the following measures:

• Use a power supply that can effectively filter interference from the power grid.
• Keep the device far from high-frequency and strong-current devices, such as a radio transmitting station
• Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.

Lightning Protection
Extremely high voltage currents can be produced instantly when lightning occurs, and the air in the electric discharge path can be instantly heated up to 20,000 °C. As this instant current is strong enough to damage electronic devices, more effective lightning protection measures should be taken.

• Ensure that the rack and the device are well earthed.
• Make sure the power socket has a good contact with the ground.
• Keep a reasonable cabling system and avoid induced lightning.
• Use the signal SPD (Surge Protective Device) when wiring outdoors.

Note:
The figure is to illustrate the application and principle. The provided plug and the socket in your region may differ from the figures above.

Initialization
After the device is powered on, it begins the Power-On Self-Test. A series of tests is run automatically to ensure the device functions properly. During this time, its LED indicators will respond in the following order:

1. The PWR LED indicator lights on all the time. The SYS LED and the LED indicators of all the ports are off.
2. After about one minute, the SYS LED and LED indicators of all the ports will flash momentarily and then turn off.
3. Several seconds later, the SYS LED indicator will flash, which represents a successful initialization.

Stack Topology
With a stackable design, the Campus Switches can be stacked into one stack topology for higher reliability, larger bandwidth, and simpler networking. To build the stack topology, you need to prepare 2-4 switches and enough 10G SFP+ modules/cables. For more details, see the table below:

Switch	Compatible Model(s)	Quantity
SG5428X	SG5428X, SG5428XMPP, SG5452X, SG5452XMPP, SG5428XF	2-4
SG5428XMPP	SG5428X, SG5428XMPP, SG5452X, SG5452XMPP, SG5428XF	2-4
SG5452X	SG5428X, SG5428XMPP, SG5452X, SG5452XMPP, SG5428XF	2-4
SG5452XMPP	SG5428X, SG5428XMPP, SG5452X, SG5452XMPP, SG5428XF	2-4
SG5428XF	SG5428X, SG5428XMPP, SG5452X, SG5452XMPP, SG5428XF	2-4

• There are three stack topology structures for different scenarios. Please build the proper topology according to your needs:

1. Chain Topology: Chain topology is relatively simple and does not require a cable connection between the first and last unit. It is suitable for long-distance stacking, but its reliability is relatively low.
2. Ring Topology: Ring topology has higher reliability compared with the chain topology. When one of the chains in the ring topology is disconnected, the ring topology becomes a chain topology, but the entire stack system can still work normally. The ring topology requires a cable connection between the first and last unit, so it’s not suitable for long-distance stacking.
3. Star Topology: Star topology connects the switches to a central main switch; therefore, it can significantly increase the data forwarding rate between member switches while providing unified management.

Note:

• Stacking ports are not allowed to connect to non-stacking port, as it may affect the operation of the device.
• Stacking ports with the same group ID are not allowed to connect to stacking ports with different group IDs, nor to different devices.
• A stacking port group is a logical port dedicated to stacking and needs to be bound to a stacking port. A stacking port group can be bound to one or more stacking ports to improve bandwidth and reliability

Chapter 4 Configuration

Configuration Overview

• The switch supports two configuration options:
• Standalone Mode: Configure and manage the switch singly.
• Controller Mode: Configure and manage the network devices centrally. It is recommended in the large-scale network, which consists of mass devices such as access points, switches, and gateways.

Note:
When the switch is changed from Standalone Mode to Controller Mode, the configurations of the switch will be lost. For details, refer to the related documents on the download center of our official website: https://support.omadanetworks.com/product/.

Standalone Mode
In Standalone Mode, use a computer to configure and manage the switch using GUI (Graphical User Interface) or CLI (command-line interface).

Using the GUI

1. To access the management page of the switch, make sure the switch and computer are in the same subnet. Open a browser and type the switch’s IP address in the address field, then press the Enter key.
   • If the switch obtains an IP address from the DHCP server (typically a gateway), find the switch’s IP address on the DHCP server.
   • If not, use the default IP address 192.168.0.1 to launch the switch’s management page.
2. The first time you log in, set the username and password to better protect your network and devices. After that, the system will automatically redirect you back to the login interface to authenticate with the newly created credentials.
3. After a successful login, the main page will appear. You can click the menus on the top and left sides to configure the corresponding functions. For the detailed configurations, refer to the User Guide and CLI Guide. The guides can be found on the download center of our official website: https://support.omadanetworks.com/product/.
   • Using the CLI
   • Set up a Telnet or SSH connection to access the switch via CLI.

Use the console port to access the switch. When using the console port, start the terminal emulation program (such as the Hyper Terminal) on the PC and configure the terminal emulation program as follows:

Baud Rate	Data Bits	Parity	Stop Bits	Flow Control
38400 bps	8	None	1	None

• For the detailed configurations, refer to the User Guide and CLI Guide. The guides can be found on the download center of our official website: https://support.omadanetworks.com/product/.

Note:
For certain devices, you may need to change the password the first time you log in, which will better protect your network and devices.

Controller Mode
Controller Mode applies to the large-scale network with mass devices. All devices can be centrally configured and monitored via Omada Hardware Controller or Omada Software Controller.

Note:
Before the following configurations, make sure the switch can access the internet. When using the Omada Hardware/Software Controller, make sure the switch and the controller are in the same subnet. Typically, the switch obtains an IP address from the DHCP server. You can check the switch’s IP address on the DHCP server.

Via Omada Hardware Controller
Omada Hardware Controller is a good alternative if you have no spare PC to keep running Omada Software Controller in the network. It needs to be purchased additionally. Follow the steps below to configure the Omada Hardware Controller.

Note:

• Before you start, be sure to power up and connect your devices according to the topology figure.
• A DHCP server (typically a gateway with DHCP function enabled) is required to assign IP addresses tothe EAPs and clients in your local network.
• Omada Controller must have network access to your Omada devices (the gateway, switch, or EAPs) to find, adopt, and manage them.

1. Find the IP address of the gateway. Open the command line on your PC and enter ipconfig. In the result list, find the Default Gateway, which is also the IP address of the gateway.
2. Launch a web browser and enter the IP address of the gateway. Log in to the gateway’s web page. Then go to Network > LAN > DHCP Client List to find the IP address of your controller according to its MAC address.
3. Enter the IP address of your controller in the address bar to open its web page.
4. On the Omada Controller’s web page, follow the wizard to complete the quick setup.
5. After the quick setup, the login page appears. Enter the username and password you have created and click Log in. Then you can further configure the controller.
6. If you want to manage the devices remotely, follow the next steps:
   • a. Make sure that Cloud Access is enabled on your controller. By default, Cloud Access is enabled. Make sure that the Cloud LED is flashing slowly.
   • b. Launch a web browser and enter https://omada.tplinkcloud.com in the address bar. Enter your TP-Link ID and password to log in. Click + Add Controller and choose Hardware Controller to add your controller. Then you can further configure the controller.
