4. Configuració i instal·lació
4.1 Precaucions de seguretat
- Assegureu-vos que l'alimentació estigui apagada abans de connectar o desconnectar els cables.
- Place the switch on a stable, level surface or mount it securely in a rack.
- Assegureu-vos que la ventilació al voltant de l'interruptor sigui adequada per evitar el sobreescalfament.
- Feu servir només els cables d'alimentació proporcionats.
4.2 Muntatge en bastidor
The included rackmount kit allows for installation in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Attach the rackmount brackets to the sides of the switch using the provided screws, then secure the switch to the rack.
4.3 Connexió d'alimentació
Connect one or both power cords to the power sockets on the rear panel of the switch and then to a suitable power outlet. The switch supports redundant power supplies for increased reliability.
4.4 Connexions de xarxa
Insert compatible SFP+ modules (not included) into the 10G SFP+ ports. Connect fiber optic cables from your network devices (servers, other switches, etc.) to these SFP+ modules.

5. Funcionament de l'interruptor
5.1 Encès inicial
After connecting power, the switch will power on automatically. Observe the LED indicators on the front panel. The Power LED should illuminate, indicating the device is receiving power.
5.2 Opcions de gestió
The TL-SX3016F offers flexible management options:
- Integració amb Omada SDN: The switch can be integrated into TP-Link's Omada Software Defined Networking (SDN) platform. This allows for centralized management of network devices, including switches, access points, and gateways, through an Omada Hardware Controller, Omada Software Controller, or Omada Cloud-based Controller.
- Mode autònom: The switch can also operate in standalone mode, managed directly via its web-based GUI or command-line interface (CLI) through the console ports.
- Accés al núvol: Remote cloud access and the Omada app enable centralized cloud management of your entire network from a single interface, accessible anywhere, anytime.

5.3 Funcions de xarxa avançades
The TL-SX3016F supports a range of advanced features for network optimization and security:
- VLAN (Xarxa d'Àrea Local Virtual): 802.1Q VLAN helps segment the network into smaller, isolated broadcast domains, enhancing security and performance.
- Característiques de L2+/L3: Includes Static Routing, IPv6 Support, DHCP Server, DHCP Relay, and IP Interfaces for advanced network configurations.
- Qualitat de servei (QoS): L2/L3/L4 QoS ensures smooth data transmission for critical applications by prioritizing traffic.
- Snooping IGMP: Optimitza el lliurament de trànsit multicast, especialment útil per a aplicacions IPTV.
- Grup d'agregació d'enllaços (LAG): Increases bandwidth and provides link redundancy.
- Seguretat de la xarxa: Features such as IP-MAC-Port binding, Access Control List (ACL), Port Security, DoS defend, Storm control, DHCP Snooping, and 802.1X radius authentication enhance network protection.

5.4 SDN Compatibility Note
For Omada SDN usage, ensure your devices/controllers are either equipped with or can be upgraded to an SDN-compatible firmware version. SDN controllers are designed to work exclusively with SDN switches, access points, and gateways. Non-SDN controllers are compatible only with non-SDN access points. Refer to the TP-Link website for a list of devices compatible with SDN firmware.
6. Manteniment
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your TL-SX3016F switch, consider the following maintenance practices:
- Actualitzacions de firmware: Revisa regularment el TP-Link weblloc web per a les darreres actualitzacions de firmware. L'aplicació d'actualitzacions pot millorar el rendiment, afegir noves funcions i solucionar vulnerabilitats de seguretat.
- Neteja física: Keep the switch free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior. Ensure ventilation openings are not obstructed.
