User Manual
FAQ
What are the port configurations on the TEG-3284WS switch?
The TEG-3284WS provides 28 total ports: 24x 2.5GBase-T RJ-45 Ethernet ports and 4x 10GBase-X SFP+ uplink slots. The 2.5G ports are backward compatible with 10/100/1000BASE-T devices, allowing mixed-speed deployments without requiring immediate infrastructure upgrades. The SFP+ slots accept 10G fiber or DAC cables for high-speed uplinks to core switches or servers.
What management features does this Web Smart switch support?
As a Layer 4 Web Smart switch, the TEG-3284WS supports comprehensive management through HTTP/HTTPS web interfaces. Key features include VLAN creation and management, QoS for traffic prioritization, LACP for link aggregation, IGMP snooping for multicast optimization, and DHCP snooping for security. The switch also offers bandwidth control per port, private VLANs, multicast VLANs, and voice VLANs for specialized deployments.
Can this switch be managed remotely through cloud services?
Yes, the TEG-3284WS supports optional remote cloud management through TRENDnet Hive. This cloud management platform allows centralized monitoring and configuration of multiple TRENDnet switches from a single interface. Please note that TRENDnet Hive may require additional fees or subscriptions beyond the standard web management interface included with the switch.
What is the switching capacity and how does it affect performance?
The TEG-3284WS delivers 200Gbps of switching capacity, providing non-blocking performance across all 28 ports simultaneously. This capacity ensures that traffic can flow at wire speed between any combination of ports without congestion or packet loss. The 200Gbps fabric supports the aggregate bandwidth requirements of 24x 2.5G ports (60Gbps) plus 4x 10G ports (40Gbps) with substantial headroom for internal switching operations.
Is this switch rack-mountable and what are its physical dimensions?
Yes, the TEG-3284WS is designed for 1U rack mounting with dimensions of 1.73 inches (44 mm) in height, 17.32 inches (440 mm) in width, and 9.84 inches (250 mm) in depth. The switch weighs approximately 7.51 pounds (3408 g) and features front-to-back airflow compatible with standard server cabinet cooling configurations. The 1U form factor maximizes port density while minimizing rack space consumption.
What power requirements and consumption does this switch have?
The TEG-3284WS operates on 40W of power with auto-sensing input voltage that supports both 120V AC and 230V AC power sources. This dual-voltage capability allows deployment in different geographical regions without requiring separate power supplies. The 40W power draw represents efficient operation for a 28-port switch with 2.5G and 10G capabilities, contributing to lower operating costs and reduced thermal output in dense deployments.
