Model: TL-SG2008  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version: 4.0.2 Build 20211105 Rel.57589


Hello,

I am new to managed switches, but IT competent, and have some questions on the best way to configure the TL-SG2008 for my home network.

I have a Synology server as a NAS, two ip cameras, a few pc's and printers, and my TV connected to the network.

 

I have been experiencing some disconnects from my ip cameras, possibly a broadcast storm, and it was suggested that I use a switch instead of a hub to help isolate the devices while providing access between pc's and the NAS to fix the problem.

 

My ISP provided router is a ZTE-H288A with VOIP.  The ISP assigns VOIP, and the Firewall is enabled.

Network ip's are setup as 192.168.xxx.xxx / subnet mask 255.255.255.0.

 

TL-SG2008 CONFIGURATION
VLAN is set to 1 by default I assume on this switch.


I enabled L2 features such as Port config, loopback detection.

 

On the System Unit1 page, should I make changes to any of these:
Jumbo Frame:     Disabled
SNTP:                  Disabled
IGMP Snooping:  Enabled  assumed necessary for media / video of ip cameras
SNMP:                 Enabled  by default
Spanning Tree:    Disabled
DHCP Relay:       Disabled
802.1X:                Disabled

 

 

QOS - Port Priority Config
Should I being using this?
When I click on unit 1 all ports, I see a drop down for 802.1p priority and trust mode.

 

QOS - Bandwidth Control - Storm control
Again, when I click on unit 1 all ports, I see various entries and drop downs.
I am not sure but it was suggested that my ip camera problem may have to do with this.

 

I look forward to your help and suggestions.

  @xmanhattan 

 

It looks like your current settings are fine, other features including Qos don't seem to me to be necessary to enable.

Just striving to develop myself while helping others.

  @Virgo Hello Virgo,

 

Thank you for reviewing and commenting.

 

Question: 

I set Qos for all ports using Trust 802.1p as the original setting was Untrusted.

Priorities are all set to zero, as per original settings.

Should I have set it to Trust DSCP?

 

I am still reading and learning about VLANs but I have not made any changes to the switch for this.

I assume that this is where one could set ports/ips/macs to either allow or deny in some logical manner.  I am thinking that I might be able to set the ip cameras to not see the Internet connection and to allow the NAS to see them, and somehow allow the pc's to see the NAS.

Is this possible?
