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

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

Configuration Options
For advanced management capability, the TigerStack 100 management
agent provides a menu-driven system configuration program. This
program can be accessed by a direct or modem connection to the serial
port on the rear panel (out-of-band), or by a Telnet connection over the
network (in-band).
The management agent is based on SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol). This SNMP agent permits the switch to be managed from any
PC in the network using in-band management software (such as SMC’s
EliteView).
The management agent also includes an embedded HTTP Web agent. This
Web agent can be accessed using a standard Web browser from any
computer attached to the network.
The system configuration program and the SNMP agent support
management functions such as:
• Enable/disable any port
• Set the communication mode for any port
• Configure SNMP parameters
• Configure VLANs or multicast filtering
• Display system information or statistics
• Configure the switch to join a Spanning Tree
• Download system firmware
• Restart the system

Required Connections
Console Port (Out-of-Band) Connections
Attach a VT100 compatible terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation
program to the serial port on the switch’s rear panel. Use the null-modem
cable provided with this package, or use a null modem connection that
complies with the wiring assignments shown in Appendix B of this guide.
When attaching to a PC, set terminal emulation type to VT100, specify the
port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), and then set communications to 8
data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and 19200 bps (for initial configuration).
Also be sure to set flow control to “none.” (Refer to “Configuring the
Serial Port” on page 2-17 for a complete description of configuration
options.)
Note: If the default settings for the management agent’s serial port have
been modified and you are having difficulty making a console
connection, you can display or modify the current settings using a

EQUIRED CONNECTIONS

In-Band Connections
Prior to accessing the Network Management Module via a network
connection, you must first configure it with a valid IP address, subnet
mask, and default gateway using an out-of-band connection or the
BOOTP protocol.
After configuring the switch’s IP parameters, you can access the on-board
configuration program from anywhere within the attached network. The
on-board configuration program can be accessed using Telnet from any
computer attached to the network. The switch and stack can also be
managed by any computer using a Web browser (Internet Explorer 4.0, or
Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above), or from a network computer using
network management software such as EliteView.
Notes: 1. By default BOOTP is disabled. To enable BOOTP, see “IP
Configuration” on page 2-13.
2. Use the Network Configuration menu to specify the maximum
number of simultaneous Telnet sessions that are supported by
the system (up to four).
3. The on-board program only provides access to basic
configuration functions. To access the full range of SNMP
management functions, you must use SNMP- based network
management software, such as SMC’s free EliteView software.

established, the login screen for the on-board configuration program
appears as shown below.
If this is your first time to log into the configuration program, then the
default user names are “admin” and “guest,” with no password. The
administrator has Read/Write access to all configuration parameters and

You should define a new administrator password, record it and put it in a
safe place. Select Console Login Configuration from the Management
Setup Menu and enter a new password for the administrator. Note that
passwords can consist of up to 11 alphanumeric characters and are not
case sensitive.
Note: Based on the default configuration, a user is allowed three attempts
to enter the correct password; on the third failed attempt the
current connection is terminated.
After you enter the user name and password, you will have access to the
