Overview
- The TP-Link SG3428X-M2 is a high-performance L2+ managed switch built for modern enterprise networks. With 24 ports of 2.5 Gbps connectivity and four 10 Gbps SFP+ uplinks, it provides the throughput and reliability needed for demanding applications whilst maintaining non-blocking switching capacity.
Integration with TP-Link's Omada SDN platform delivers centralised cloud management, zero-touch provisioning, and intelligent monitoring from a single dashboard. This significantly reduces deployment time and operational overhead for IT teams managing multiple sites.
Security is comprehensive, including IP-MAC-Port Binding, access control lists, port security, DHCP Snooping, 802.1X authentication, and advanced DoS protection. Quality of Service features—including L2/L3/L4 QoS and IGMP snooping—ensure voice and video applications perform reliably even under heavy network load.
The switch supports standalone and centralised management via web interface, CLI, SNMP, and RMON, giving IT professionals the flexibility to manage infrastructure the way they work best.

FAQs
What is the difference between 2.5G and 10G ports on this switch?
The 24× 2.5 Gbps RJ45 ports connect end devices and servers to the switch, whilst the 4× 10 Gbps SFP+ slots provide high-capacity uplinks to other switches or core infrastructure. This architecture allows cost-effective access-layer switching whilst maintaining powerful backbone connectivity.
Can this switch be managed remotely?
Yes. The SG3428X-M2 integrates with TP-Link's Omada SDN platform, enabling centralised cloud-based management and monitoring from anywhere. It also supports traditional management via web interface, SSH, Telnet, SNMP, and RMON for organisations preferring on-premises control.
What security features does this switch provide?
The switch includes IP-MAC-Port Binding, access control lists (ACL), port security, DoS protection, storm control, DHCP Snooping, 802.1X authentication, and Radius integration. These features work together to prevent unauthorised access, limit broadcast storms, and enforce network policies.
Is this switch suitable for VoIP and video streaming?
Yes. The switch supports L2/L3/L4 QoS and IGMP snooping, which prioritise and optimise traffic for voice and video applications, ensuring consistent performance and minimal latency even during peak network usage.
Does the SG3428X-M2 require the Omada controller?
No. The switch can operate standalone with web-based or CLI management, or integrate with Omada SDN for centralised control across multiple sites. You can choose the management approach that best suits your network architecture.
What is zero-touch provisioning (ZTP)?
ZTP allows the switch to automatically discover and join your Omada SDN network without manual configuration. This significantly speeds up deployment, particularly in multi-site environments, and reduces human error during setup.
What warranty period is included?
The TP-Link SG3428X-M2 comes with a 5-year warranty, providing extended protection and support for your network investment.
