TigerChassis™ 10/100/1000
Multilayer Backbone Chassis Switch
The TigerChassis 10/100/1000 is a powerful network
backbone switch that combines wire-speed Layer 2
switching and Layer 3 routing for small and medium
enterprise-level applications. The SMC9712G includes a
built-in management agent/L3 routing engine with an
open slot for optional agent backup as well as in an
open slot for an optional redundant power supply. With
12 available slots for media interface blades (modules)
and 24Gbps of switching bandwidth, the 9712G is
capable of delivering a flexible combination of Gigabit
and Fast Ethernet connectivity.
The TigerChassis 10/100/1000 is equipped with
Layer 3 line-speed IP routing capabilites that far
outperform traditional standalone routers in terms of
packet forwarding rate. The 9712G also includes an
array of network management features such as QoS,
VLAN and Multi-Link Trunking which provide security
and efficiency for today´s bandwidth intensive, multi-
media applications.
