16-Port 10/100Mbps + 2-Port Gigabit
Smart Switch
TL-SL2218

Overview
TP-LINK Smart Switch TL-SL2218 is equipped with 16 10/100Mbps RJ45 ports, 2
10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 ports and 2 combo SFP slots. These switches provide high perfor-
mance, enterprise-level QoS, useful security strategies and rich layer 2 management
features.
TP-LINK smart switch TL-SL2218 is a cost-effective product solution for the small and
medium business. TL-SL2218 has useful security features. The Storm Control feature
protects against broadcast, multicast and unknown unicast storm. Quality of Service (QoS,
L2 to L4) provides enhanced traffic management capabilities to move your data smoother
and faster. Anymore, the easy-to-use web management interfaces, along with CLI, SNMP
and RMON, mean faster setup and configuration with less downtime. For workgroup and
departments requiring cost-sensitive layer 2 switch and gigabit capability, TP-LINK Smart
Switch TL-SL2218 provides you the ideal access-edge solution.

Enterprise Level Management Features

TL-SL2218 is easy to use and manage. It supports various user-friendly standard
management features, such as intuitive web-based Graphical User Interface(GUI).
SNMP (v1/v2c/v3) and RMON support enables the switch to be polled for valuable
status information and send traps on abnormal events.
