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 ports
*
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 Virtual 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 multicast switching and
CoS services.
