Compliances and Safety Warnings

FCC - Class A

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.

You may use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) for RJ-45 connections - Category 3 or better for 10 Mbps connections, Category 5 or better for 100 Mbps connections, Category 5, 5e, or 6 for 1000 Mbps connections. For fiber optic connections, you may use 50/125 or 62.5/ 125 micron multimode fiber or 9/125 micron single-mode fiber.

Chapter 1: Introduction

Overview

The TigerSwitch 10/100/1000, SMC8126L2, is an intelligent Layer 2 switch with 26 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, four of which are combination po rts

that are shared with

four SFP transceiver slots (see Figure 1-1, Ports 21-24). The SMC8126L2 includes an SNMP-based management agent embedded on the

main board, which supports both in-band and out-of-band access for managing the switch.

The switch can easily tame your network with full support for Spanning Tree Protocol, Multicast Switching, and Virt ual LANs. It brings order to poorly performing networks by segregating them into separate broadcast domains with IEEE 802. 1Q compliant VLANs, empowers multimedia applications with multi cast switching and CoS services.

Introduction

Switch Architecture

The SMC8126L2 employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switchi ng fabri c. Th is p ermits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. It also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.

This switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maxi mum data integrity. With store-and-forward switching, 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.

Network Management Options

The SMC8126L2 contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a-gla nce” monitoring of network and port status. It also includes a management agent that allows you to configure or monitor the switch using its embedded management software, or via SNMP applications. To manage this switch, you can make a direct connection to the console port (out-of-band), or you ca n manag e the swit ch throu gh a network connection (in-band) using Telnet, the on-board web agent, or SNMP-based network management software.

For a detailed description of this switch’s advanced features, refer to the Management Guide.
