TigerSwitch 100 Overview
SMC’s TigerSwitch™ 100 units are intelligent Fast Ethernet
switches. There are two TigerSwitch 100 models available. The
first, the TigerSwitch 100T
(SMC6608T)
, features 8 fixed
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports. The predominance of dual-
speed, Auto-Negotiating ports on the SMC6608T make this unit
ideally suited for Fast Ethernet migration.
The ports on the other TigerSwitch 100 model, the TigerSwitch
100M
(SMC6608M)
, are distributed among two slide-in,
removable modules. The modules are sold separately from the
base unit and feature various combinations of 10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX ports. This modular design
allows for numerous variations in port configuration, making
this switch highly versatile and adaptable to any number of
different network applications.
The TigerSwitch 100 models employ a high-speed, non-
blocking switching fabric. This design allows for simultaneous
wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all
ports. They also feature full-duplex capability on all ports,
which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.
These switches also provide for effective system management.
In addition to “at a glance” LEDs, the TigerSwitch 100 models
are equipped with system configuration software that can be
accessed out-of-band via an RS-232 console port or in-band via
Telnet. Also included is an on-board SNMP agent, which can
be used to manage the switch with SMC’s EliteView™ or any
other SNMP-based management application.
The TigerSwitch 100 units support an optional Redundant
Power Unit to minimize downtime in the event of an AC power
failure.
