Overview

SMC’s TigerSwitch™, SMC6709L2, is an intelligent Layer-2 switch with 8 10/100 Mbps ports, 1 1000BASE-T port, plus two slots for slide-in 100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-X modules. There is also an SNMP-based management agent embedded on the main board. This agent supports both in-band and out-of-band access for managing the switch.

This switch can easily Protocol,

Multicast Switching, and Virtual LANs. It brings order to poorly

tame your network with full support for Spanning Tree

performing networks by segregating them into separate broadcast domains with IEEE 802.1Q compliant VLANs, empowers multimedia applications with multicast switching and QoS services.

Switch Architecture

The TigerSwitch 10/100 employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. This switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.

Switching Method

This switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity. In store-and-forward switching mode, the entire packet must be received into a buffer and checked for validity before being forwarded. This prevents errors from being propagated throughout the network.

Management Options

This switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a- glance” monitoring of network and port status. It also includes a built-in network management agent that allows the switch to be managed in-band using SNMP or RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3 and 9) protocols, with a Web browser, or remotely via Telnet. The switch provides an RS-232 serial port (DB-9 connector) on the front panel for out-of-band management. A PC may be connected to this port null-modem cable.

for configuration and monitoring out-of band via a

This switch provides a wide range of advanced features. Port-based and tagged VLANs, plus support for automatic GVRP VLAN registration that provides traffic security and efficient use of network bandwidth. QoS priority queueing ensures the minimum delay for moving real-time multimedia data across the network. Flow control eliminates the loss of packets due to bottlenecks caused by port saturation. Broadcast storm control prevents broadcast traffic storms from engulfing the network. For a detailed description, refer to the Management Guide.

ESCRIPTION OF HARDWARE

Description of Hardware

10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ports

There are eight fixed 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports on the switch. Because these ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs.

Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex) and data rate (10/100 Mbps) can be selected automatically. Each port also supports IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of flow control, so the switch can automatically prevent port buffers from becoming saturated.

Note: If a device connected to one of these ports does not support

auto-negotiation, the communication mode of that port can be configured manually.

1000BASE-T Port

There is one fixed 1000BASE-T RJ-45 port on the switch’s front panel. This port operates at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps, and supports auto-negotiation of speed, duplex mode (i.e., half or full duplex), and flow control.

This port is shared with the Gigabit Module slot on the switch’s rear panel. If a 1000BASE-X module is installed in the slot and has a valid link on its port, the 1000BASE-T port is disabled.

Note: If an attached device does not support auto-negotiation, you will

have to manually configure the switch and the other device to match the duplex mode and speed.

Features and Benefits

Connectivity

◆ 8 dual-speed ports for easy Fast Ethernet integration and for protection of your investment in legacy LAN equipment

◆ Auto-negotiation enables each RJ-45 port to automatically select the optimum communication mode (half or full duplex) if this feature is supported by the attached device; otherwise the port can be configured manually

◆ Independent RJ-45 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T ports with support for auto MDI/MDI-X

◆ Unshielded (UTP) cable supported on all RJ-45 ports: Category 3, 4 or 5 for 10 Mbps connections, Category 5 for 100 Mbps connections, and Category 5, 5e or 6 for 1000 Mbps connections

◆ IEEE 802.3 Ethernet, 802.3u Fast Ethernet, 802.3z and 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet compliance ensures compatibility with standards-based hubs, network cards and switches from any vendor

Expandability

◆ Optional single-port 1000BASE-SX Gigabit module that can run a link up to 550 meters away (using 50/125 micron multimode fiber cable), and operates at 1 Gbps, full duplex, with auto-negotiation for flow control.

◆ Optional single-port 1000BASE-LX Gigabit module that can run a link up to 5 km away (using 9/125 micron single-mode fiber cable), and operates at 1 Gbps, full duplex, with auto-negotiation for flow control.
