Overview
The SMC6128L2 is a Fast Ethernet switch with 24 10/100BASE-TX ports
and four Gigabit combination ports

that are comprised of an RJ-45 port
and an SFP transceiver slot. The switch also includes an SNMP-based
management agent embedded on the main board. This agent supports
both in-band and out-of-band access for managing the switch.
This switch provides a broad range of powerful features for Layer 2
switching, delivering reliability and consistent performance for your
network traffic. It brings order to poorly performing networks by
segregating them into separate broadcast domains with IEEE 802.1Q
compliant VLANs, and empowers multimedia applications with multicast
switching and CoS services.
