TP-Link TL-SG3452X JetStream 48-Port Gigabit L2+ Managed Switch with 4 10GE SFP+ Slots

The TP-Link TL-SG3452X JetStream brings enterprise-grade performance to growing networks with a dense 48-port Gigabit access layer and four dedicated 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks. This 1U rack-mountable switch is engineered for reliability in busy office environments, data-center edge deployments, and multi-site campuses where fast inter-switch links and precise traffic control are essential. It combines a robust Layer 2+ feature set with flexible management options, enabling network operators to segment traffic, prioritize critical applications, and scale bandwidth without sacrificing security or visibility. Whether you’re consolidating servers, supporting virtualization, or building a resilient campus network, the TL-SG3452X provides the performance headroom and administrative control you need to keep workloads responsive and secure.

• High-density access with 4x 10G uplinks: Leverage 48 x 10/100/1000 Mbps ports for end-user devices and critical devices while using four dedicated 10G SFP+ uplink slots to connect to core switches, storage networks, or data-center infrastructure. This design delivers ample port capacity for users and fast, low-latency inter-switch communication suitable for virtualization and server access.
• Powerful Layer 2+ feature set for efficient traffic management: Implement advanced VLAN segmentation (802.1Q) to separate departments or services, apply QoS to guarantee performance for latency-sensitive apps, and enforce access controls with ACLs. Built-in IGMP/MLD Snooping optimizes multicast traffic, while Spanning Tree Protocol variants prevent network loops and enable stable redundancy in complex topologies.
• Resilient traffic engineering with link aggregation: Support for Link Aggregation (LACP) allows you to combine multiple physical links into a single logical path, increasing bandwidth and providing failover protection. This is ideal for connecting to core switches, storage arrays, or virtualization hosts, ensuring consistent throughput even under heavy load.
• Comprehensive management and security controls: The TL-SG3452X offers a web-based GUI and CLI for flexible configuration, along with SNMP monitoring and RMON for deep network analytics. Security features include ACL-based access control, 802.1X authentication support, port security, and DHCP snooping to protect the network from unauthorized devices and rogue traffic.
• Enterprise-grade reliability in a compact form factor: Built in a sturdy metal 1U chassis with efficient cooling, the switch is designed for continuous operation in busy environments. Its energy-conscious design helps reduce total cost of ownership while delivering steady performance across office networks, campus closets, and edge deployments.

how to install TP-Link TL-SG3452X

Install the TL-SG3452X in a standard IT rack or on a sturdy surface in your equipment room. Begin by mounting the switch in a 19-inch rack using the included rack ears and securing it with screws. Connect the power cord to a reliable power source and power on the device, verifying that the front-panel LEDs indicate normal operation. Attach your devices to the 48 RJ-45 ports for user access, and connect the 10G uplinks to your core network or data-center gear via appropriate SFP+ transceivers or DAC cables. Access the management interface through the switch’s default IP address or via the console port to perform the initial configuration. Create a strong administrator password, configure management VLAN, and enable secure remote management (SSH/HTTPS). Define your network topology by creating VLANs, assigning ports to appropriate VLANs, and configuring trunk ports for inter-switch links. Set up LACP groups for uplink redundancy and aggregated bandwidth, and implement QoS policies to prioritize critical applications such as voice, video conferencing, and business-critical databases. Finally, enable security features like ACLs and 802.1X, save the configuration, and monitor performance and events through the built-in analytics and logging tools to ensure ongoing reliability and security.
