ABOUT THE<br />
TIGERSWITCH 10/100<br />
<strong>SMC</strong>’s TigerSwitch 10/100 (<strong>SMC</strong><strong>6724L3</strong>) is an intelligent multilayer switch<br />
with 24 10/100BASE-TX ports plus two slots on the front panel for<br />
slide-in modules (100BASE-FX, 1000BASE-T, or GBIC transceivers).<br />
There is also an SNMP-based management agent embedded on the main<br />
board. This agent supports both in-band and out-of-band access for<br />
managing the switch.<br />
This switch can easily tame your network with full support for Spanning<br />
Tree Protocol, Multicast Switching, Virtual LANs, and IP routing. It brings<br />
order to poorly performing networks by segregating them into separate<br />
broadcast domains with IEEE 802.3Q compliant VLANs, empowers<br />
multimedia applications with multicast switching and CoS services, and<br />
eliminates conventional router bottlenecks.<br />
It can be used to augment or completely replace slow legacy routers,<br />
off-loading local IP traffic to release valuable resources for non-IP routing<br />
or WAN access. With wire-speed performance for Layer 2, Layer 3 and<br />
Layer 4, this switch can significantly improve the throughput between IP<br />
segments or VLANs.<br />
