Overview
The SMC8708L2 is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch with 8 10GBASE XFP
slots
*
, and 1 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 management port. The switch also
includes an SNMP-based management agent, which provides 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.
