TigerSwitch

1000

SMC’s Tiger Line of feature rich work-group LAN solutions

SMC’s new TigerSwitch™ 1000 is a Gigabit Ethernet backbone switch that provides 8 full-duplex 1000BASE-SX (SC-type) ports. With 16 Gbps of bandwidth,

this switch dramatically improves the performance of congested networks. A host of advanced features and comprehensive management capabilities make

this device a potent solution for the network core.

The TigerSwitch 1000 provides high bandwidth and high-performance connectivity between workgroups with increased capacity for server farms, users have

faster access to network-wide resources. Moreover, the 1000BASE-SX (SC-type) fibre optic ports support connections up to 550 meters (1800 feet) in length.

This TigerSwitch 1000 also comes fully-loaded with advanced performance-enhancing features. IGMP maintains available bandwidth by limiting multicast

transmissions to subscribers only. Broadcast storm suppression prevents broadcast traffic storms from engulfing the network. QoS priority queueing ensures the

minimum delay for real-time multimedia data across the network. Flow control eliminates the loss of packets due to bottlenecks caused by port saturation.

Port-based and tagged VLANs are also included to provide traffic security and efficient use of network bandwidth.

The TigerSwitch 1000’s integrated SNMP management agent supports 4-group RMON with in-band and out-of-band connection options. Additionally, the

Web-based interface means that the TigerSwitch can be managed at any time from anywhere, removing the limitations and costs associated with a fixed

management station.
