SMCGS10C-Smart
EZ Switch™ 10/100/1000 10-Port Gigabit Ethernet
Smart Switch Including 2 100/1000BASE-X SFP Slots
Product Overview
SMC Network’s EZ Switch
TM
SMCGS10C-Smart is a new 10-port Gigabit Ethernet switch providing 8 Gigabit ports and 2
100/1000BASE-X SFP slots. The switch supports a flexible web-based management interface as well as SNMP for both
IPv4 and IPv6. The new SMCGS10C-Smart provides a range of feature-rich functions, including VLANs, Spanning Tree,
link aggregation, multicast filtering, security, storm control, and QoS with 8 priority queues. Ideal for users looking to
migrate from unmanaged to managed networks, this switch is easy to install and perfect for SMB and SOHO businesses.
Key Features and Benefits
Performance and Scalability
This entry-level managed switch provides 20 Gbps
wire-speed switching performance across all 10 ports. This
enables the switch to fully support existing high-performance
PCs and laptops, which significantly improves application
response times and the speed of large file transfers.
The two Gigabit Ethernet 100/1000BASE-X SFP slots
provide uplink flexibility, offering extended fiber connections
to the network backbone.
Feature-Rich Functionality
VLAN features support flexible network partition and
configuration, performance improvement, and cost savings.
IEEE 802.1Q-in-Q VLAN tags expand the VLAN space by
double-tagging packets.
IGMP snooping prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic and
limits bandwidth-intensive video traffic to only the
subscribers.
Storm control monitors the amount of storm traffic that is sent
each second on an interface. It allows the administrator to
specify how much storm traffic can be sent as a percentage
of the total bandwidth of an interface.
Continuous Availability
IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol provides a
loop-free network and redundant links to the core network
with rapid convergence, ensuring faster recovery from failed
links, and enhancing overall network stability and reliability.
IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol runs STP per
VLAN base (up to 8 instances), providing Layer 2 load
sharing on redundant links.
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)
increases bandwidth by automatically aggregating several
physical links together as a logical trunk and providing load
balancing and fault tolerance for uplink connections.
Comprehensive QoS
Support for eight egress queues per port enable
differentiated management of up to eight traffic types.
Traffic is prioritized according to 802.1p, DSCP, IP
precedence, and TCP/UDP port number, giving optimal
performance to real-time applications such as voice and
video.
Asymmetric bidirectional rate-limiting, per port or per traffic
class, preserves network bandwidth and allows maximum
control of network resources.
Enhanced Security
Port Security limits the total number of devices that can
access a switch port based on MAC address, and protects
against MAC flooding attacks
IEEE 802.1X port-based or MAC-based access control
ensures all users are authorized before being granted
access to the network. User authentication is carried out
using a standard-based RADIUS server, with support for
dynamic VLAN assignment.
Simple Management
An embedded user-friendly web interface helps users
quickly and simply configure switches. SNMP v1/v2 is
supported for management by a network management
station. The switch supports management functions over
both IPv4 and IPv6.
Cable diagnostics identifies cable faults (such as short,
open, etc.) and feeds back a distance to the fault.
LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) enables
administrators to monitor devices attached to switch ports.
