TP-Link Omada 24-poorts 2.5GBASE-T L2+ managed switch met 4 10GE SFP+ slots

The TP-Link JetStream TL-SG3428X-M2 is a managed L2+ switch with 24× 2.5G Ethernet ports and 4× 10 Gbps SFP+ uplink slots, designed for rack-mounted high-performance networks. It delivers a switching capacity of 200 Gbit/s, supports a large MAC address table and common enterprise networking standards, making it suitable for offices, campuses, hospitality and service-provider environments that require multi-gig connectivity and centralized management.

Advantages

This switch provides high-bandwidth 10G uplinks alongside 24 multi-gig 2.5G ports to maximize throughput for desktops, Wi‑Fi 6/6E/7 access points, NAS devices and gaming or VR systems. It supports centralized cloud-based SDN management for unified control of switches, access points and gateways. A broad set of L2+ and L3 features—including static routing, 802.1Q VLAN, IGMP snooping, advanced QoS and security functions—enables scalable, reliable and manageable enterprise networks.

Suitable for

• Medium to large offices and enterprise networks
• Education campuses and hospitality deployments
• Service providers and ISPs requiring QinQ and OAM
• Environments using multi‑gig Wi‑Fi 6/6E/7 access points and 2.5G endpoints

How to use

Install the TL‑SG3428X‑M2 in a standard 19-inch rack and connect servers or aggregation switches to the 10G SFP+ uplinks. Connect desktops, NAS, APs and other devices to the 2.5G RJ‑45 ports. Configure VLANs, static routes and QoS through the web interface, CLI or the Omada cloud SDN controller for centralized management. Use the console port for initial setup or local troubleshooting.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, terminate fiber or DACs on the SFP+ ports for uplinks, enable QoS to prioritize voice and video traffic, and deploy 802.1X or ACLs to control access. When using multiple links to the same aggregation device, configure LACP for redundancy and higher throughput.
