Chapter 2: Introduction of the Product
This part simply describes the features of the model of TL-SL2109 Gigabit Smart Switch,
and some information in context about the technology of Switch.
2.1 Port-Trunking function
Basically, TRUNK permits to provide a wider bandwidth between the switches by two or
more than two ports (less than four ports generally) working side by side. It means that
the TRUNK solves many physical ports as one logical port. When there is no TRUNK,
the maximal bandwidth is decided by Auto-negotiation. The good of the TRUNK is that
you can use many lower speed devices as a higher speed device. Using the TRUNK,
you can only add the adapters in the server machine connected to the switch to solve the
traffic between the switch and the server. You also can use the switch to solve the traffic
between the switch and the server. You also can use the TRUNK between the switchs to
solve the traffic.
TL-SL2109’s TRUNK function supports one TRUNK, which is made up of the seventh
and the eighth port, the TRUNK port’s bandwidth can get to 400Mbps.
2.2 Virtual Local Area Network
The Virtual Local Area Network can be out of the constraints of the physical connections.
You can move the workstations among the workgroup and the subnet without changing
the physical connection. The work stations build up the logical workgroup or the virtual
subnet to improve the performance of the system. Poise the flux in the network and
utilize the source of the device reasonedly. In the same time, the VLAN decompresses
the management and maintenance of the network.
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
Virtual Group: The members of the groups’ communication with each other will be
greatly improved. And not required the router in the system.
Safety: Because only the legal user can forward the information, the safety of the
network will be improved.
Economize cost: You can use VLAN in the network without adding the router or
re-distributing the cable.
Port-based VLAN is the usual technology of the TL-SL2109. The TL-SL2109P supplies
nine Port-based VLAN.
2.3 Priority
The TL-SL2109 supplies the port-based priority. The Switch had two levels, low and high.
The switch forwards the frames based on the level of the priority. The frames with high
level priority can be solved firstly.

Every port of the Switch can be configured by the software, as fig 4.11, but you can
not operate the dark button.
2.
Fig 4.11 Configuring the Port Status
There are a few descriptions as follows:
Speed/Duplex: You can select Auto Negotiation or Force Mode, 100Mbps Full Duplex,
100Mbps Half Duplex, 10Mbps Full Duplex, 10Mbps Half Duplex. If you select the Half
Duplex, the port can transfer or receive the packages. But the port can transfer and
receive the packages at the same time of you select the Full Duplex.
If the Auto Negotiation is enabled, the port can select the favoured speed and duplex by
terms of the port connected up far end.
Default Setting: Auto Negotiation
Priority: The priority, is an advanced feature of the switch, makes the important
information transferred firstly come to true. The port-based priority is that you can
configure the priority by terms of the port you selected. The tag-based priority is that the
switch extracts the VLAN tag or the ToS tag from the packages, then make sure the
packages’ priority. The switch can only use the port-based priority. It divides two levels —
Low and High.
Default Setting: Port Number (Low)
