IMITED
Limited Warranty Statement: SMC Networks, Inc. (“SMC”) warrants its products to be
free from defects in workmanship and materials, under normal use and service, for the
applicable warranty term. All SMC products carry a standard 90-day limited warranty from
the date of purchase from SMC or its Authorized Reseller. SMC may, at its own discretion,
repair or replace any product not operating as warranted with a similar or functionally
equivalent product, during the applicable warranty term. SMC will endeavor to repair or
replace any product returned under warranty within 30 days of receipt of the product.
The standard limited warranty can be upgraded to a Limited Lifetime* warranty by registering
new products within 30 days of purchase from SMC or its Authorized Reseller. Registration
can be accomplished via the enclosed product registration card or online via the SMC Web
site. Failure to register will not affect the standard limited warranty. The Limited Lifetime
warranty covers a product during the Life of that Product, which is defined as the period of
time during which the product is an “Active” SMC product. A product is considered to be
“Active” while it is listed on the current SMC price list. As new technologies emerge, older
technologies become obsolete and SMC will, at its discretion, replace an older product in its
product line with one that incorporates these newer technologies. At that point, the obsolete
product is discontinued and is no longer an “Active” SMC product. A list of discontinued
products with their respective dates of discontinuance can be found at:
http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?action=customer_service_warranty.
All products that are replaced become the property of SMC. Replacement products may be
either new or reconditioned. Any replaced or repaired product carries either a 30-day limited
warranty or the remainder of the initial warranty, whichever is longer. SMC is not responsible
for any custom software or firmware, configuration information, or memory data of
Customer contained in, stored on, or integrated with any products returned to SMC pursuant

add-on components, such as expansion modules, removed prior to returning the product for
replacement. SMC is not responsible for these items if they are returned with the product.
Customers must contact SMC for a Return Material Authorization number prior to returning
any product to SMC. Proof of purchase may be required. Any product returned to SMC
without a valid Return Material Authorization (RMA) number clearly marked on the outside
of the package will be returned to customer at customer’s expense. For warranty claims within
North America, please call our toll-free customer support number at (800) 762-4968.

The Tiger Switch SMC8024L2 is a high performance managed switch that
delivers performance and control to your network. It provides 24
full-duplex 1000BASE-T ports that significantly improve network
performance and boost throughput using features configured through the
web interface. With 48 Gigabits of throughput bandwidth, these switches
provide the quickest solution to meeting the growing demands on your
network.
Features and Benefits
• User friendly web-management interface
• Supports Qos, Spanning Tree, IGMP, VLANs and trunk configuration
• Half- and full-duplex flow control prevents packets from being dropped
under heavy loading
• Plug-and-play—optional configuration using web interface
• “At-a-glance” LEDs for port and system status monitoring
• Desktop or rack installation

NITIAL CONFIGURATION
I
NITIAL
To make use of the management features of your Tiger Switch, you must
first configure it with an IP address that is compatible with the network it
is being installed in. For simplicity, this should be done before you
permanently install the switch in the network.
The following procedure is recommended:
1. Place your Tiger Switch close to the PC that you will use to configure
it. It will help if you can see the front panel of the switch while
working on your PC.
2. Connect the Ethernet port of your PC to any port on the front panel
of your Tiger Switch. Connect power to the switch and verify that you
have a link by checking the front-panel LEDs. (See the Hardware
Description on page 2 for more information on the LEDs.)
3. The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.2.10 and the subnet
mask is 255.255.255.0. If your PC has a different IP address from the
switch but is on the same subnet (i.e. the PC and switch both have
addresses that start 192.168.2.x ) you can skip directly to step 4.
Otherwise, you must set your PC’s IP address manually. If you are
unfamiliar with this process, see “Changing a PC’s IP Address” on
page 7.

ONFIGURATION
4. Open your web browser and enter the address http://192.168.2.10. If
your PC is properly configured, you will see the login page of your
Tiger Switch. If you do not see the login page, please check your IP
address and repeat step 3.
5. Enter the default password "smcadmin" and click on the Login
button.

EATURES AND BENEFITS
6. From the menu, click on SYSTEM, then click on LAN Settings. On
the LAN Settings page, enter the new IP address, Subnet Mask and
Gateway IP Address for the switch, then click on the APPLY button.
No other configuration changes are required at this stage, but it is
recommended that you change the administrator’s password before
logging out. To change the password, click SYSTEM, Password, and then
fill in all the fields on the Password Settings page before clicking on the
APPLY button.

Using the Web Interface
This switch provides an embedded HTTP web agent. Using a web browser
you can configure the switch and view statistics to monitor network
activity. The web agent can be accessed by any computer on the network
using a standard web browser (Internet Explorer 5.5 or above, or Mozilla
Firefox 1.0 or above).
Prior to accessing the switch from a web browser, be sure you have first
performed the following tasks:
1. Configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway. (Default: 192.168.2.10/255.255.255.0/0.0.0.0)
(See“Initial Configuration” on page 2.)
2. Set a new password using the web interface. (Default: “smcadmin”).
Access to the web interface is controlled by the password.
(See “Configuring the Logon Password” on page 18.)
Note:If, at any point, you cannot remember the switch's IP address,
you can restore the original settings by following the procedure
described in the "Troubleshooting" section.

Navigating the Web Browser Interface
To access the web-browser interface you must first enter a password. The
user has Read/Write access to all configuration parameters and statistics.
The default password for the switch is “smcadmin.” If user input is not
detected within five minutes, the current session will be terminated.
Home Page
When your web browser connects with the switch’s web agent, the home
page is displayed as shown below. The home page displays the Main Menu
on the left side of the screen and System Information on the right side.
The Main Menu links are used to navigate to other menus, and display
configuration parameters and statistics.

Panel Display
The web agent displays an image of the switch’s ports. The port will turn
green when the corresponding front-panel port is in connection with
another device. To show the port number, place mouse pointer onto the
intended port.
