Overview
SMC’s TigerStack SMC6248M is a stackable Fast Ethernet switch with
48 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports and two 1000BASE-T ports
1
that
operate in combination with two Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP)
transceiver slots (see Figure 1-1, Ports 49-50). The switch also provides
two 1 Gbps built-in stacking ports for connecting up to four units in a
stack. The stacking ports can also be used as normal Ethernet ports in
standalone mode.
The switch includes an SNMP-based management agent embedded on the
main board, which supports both in-band and out-of-band access for
managing the switch stack.
The 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.
1. If an SFP transceiver is plugged in, the corresponding RJ-45 port is disabled for ports 49-50.
