Overview
SMC’s TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 SMC8624T and SMC8648T are
intelligent switches with 24 or 48 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, four of
which are combination ports that are shared with four SFP transceiver
slots. 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.
These switches provide a broad range of powerful features for Layer 2
switching, delivering reliability and consistent performance for your
network traffic. They bring order to poorly performing networks by
segregating them into separate broadcast domains with IEEE 802.1Q
compliant VLANs, and empower multimedia applications with multicast
switching and CoS services.
