Overview
SMC’s TigerSwitch™, SMC6709L2, is an intelligent Layer-2 switch with
8 10/100 Mbps ports, 1 1000BASE-T port, plus two slots for slide-in
100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-X modules. There is also 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 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 QoS services.
