OVERVIEW
The TigerSwitch™ 1000, SMC8612XL3, performs Layer 2 switching and IP-based Layer 3 routing in the
same box. It includes 12 SFP 1000BASE-X ports, including 4 1000BASE-T combo ports. The TigerSwitch is
designed to integrate distant network subnets and VLANs seamlessly, augmenting or completely replac-
ing slow legacy routers, and providing the required throughput for today’s web-based intranet traffic flow.
The SMC8612XL3’s application is versatile and flexible. It features: GMRP and IGMP to maintain available
bandwidth by limiting multicast packet transmissions to subscribers only; OSPF, DVMRP multicast routing to
significantly conserve bandwidth by minimizing packet replication across the network; QoS and Layer 2/3/4
Class Of Service to ensure a minimum delay for real-time multimedia data across the network, while port-
based and tagged VLANs with support for GVRP are also included to provide traffic security and efficient
use of network bandwidth. With a host of advance features and comprehensive management capabilities,
this device is a strong solution for the network core with the flexibility to be integrated into existing network
infrastructure. VLANs with IEEE802.1Q, 1s, and private, and of course, IGMP for today’s multimedia applica-
tions. Also included are features such as RADIUS client enhancement for 802.1x, , SSH, SSL, Ac-
cess Control List (ACL) to address today’s concerns regarding security.
