How to install TP-Link JetStream 24-Port 10/100Mbps + 4-Port Gigabit Smart Switch with 24 Port PoE+

• Plan your deployment: Identify the PoE-powered devices (cameras, IP phones, APs) and determine the optimal placement to minimize cable length and optimize coverage or device placement.
• Power and connectivity: Connect the switch to a reliable power source. Run Ethernet cables from the PoE+ ports to your powered devices, and use the four Gigabit uplinks to connect the switch to your router or core switch for high-speed backhaul.
• Initial access and configuration: Access the switch’s web-based management interface from a computer on the same network. Begin with basic settings such as IP address, subnet mask, and gateway to ensure the switch is reachable.
• Security and segmentation: Create VLANs to separate traffic for cameras, phones, and user devices. Apply appropriate QoS policies to ensure critical applications (voice, video) receive priority bandwidth.
• Quality of service and monitoring: Configure QoS rules to prioritize time-sensitive traffic, enable port-based or 802.1p tagging as needed, and set up basic monitoring to track port status and traffic levels.
• Ongoing management: Save configurations, document your topology, and periodically review access controls and firmware updates to maintain security and performance.
