Key Features and Benefits
SMC’s TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 SMC8126PL2-F is an intelligent Layer 2 full-power PoE switch with 24 10/100/1000BASE-T ports,
four of which are combo ports that are shared with four SFP transceiver slots and two additional SFP slots. The IEEE 802.3af Power
over Ethernet (PoE) operates on all 10/100/1000 ports enabling IP phones or cameras to be installed without the need for extra power
cables. It supports full-power PoE with 15.4W on all RJ-45 ports and comes installed with clustering software which will enable
grouping together of up to 32 of other SMC6100 and SMC8100 switches. The SMC8126PL2-F is capable of reaching up to 52Gbps
with a non-blocking single chip switching architecture. It provides cost-effective, Ethernet switching for bandwidth-intensive networks
that require advanced switching features to ensure smooth transmission of mission critical data.
Product Overview
SMC8126PL2-F
24-port Managed Gigabit Switch with
Full-Power PoE, IP Clustering and 2
additional Gigabit SFP uplinks
Performance and Scalability
With 52Gbps switching capacity, the SMC8126PL2-F delivers
wire-speed switching performance on all gigabit ports, allowing
users to take full advantage of existing high-performance,
gigabit integrated servers, PCs and laptops by significantly
improving the responsiveness of applications and file transfer
times.
High Availability
IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol provides a loop-
free network and redundant links to the core network with
rapid convergence, to ensure faster recovery from failed links,
enhancing overall network stability and reliability.
IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol runs STP per
VLAN base, 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
4 egress queues per port enable differentiated management of
up to 4 traffic types. Traffic is prioritized according to 802.1p
and DSCP, 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 allowing maximum
control of network resources.
IEEE 802.3af PoE Features
The SMC8126PL2-F supports max. 15.4 Watts per port over
existing CAT 5 cables to distances of up to 100 meters. Port
one to four can even support up to 31 Watts to power devices
such as VoIP phones, wireless access points and surveillance
cameras. By using Power over Ethernet the need for individual
power sources is eliminated, saving on costs for power cable
installation and avoiding power outlet availability issues later
on.
Enhanced Security
Port Security allows access to switch ports based on MAC
addresses, thus limiting the total number of devices using a
switch port and protecting 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 any
standard-based RADIUS server.
Access Control Lists (ACLs) can be used to restrict access to
sensitive network resources by denying packets based on
source and destination MAC addresses, IP addresses,
TCP/UDP ports. This is done by hardware, so switching
performance is not compromised.
Security Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL/HTTPS)
encrypt network management information via Telnet and web,
providing secure network management.
/RADIUS Authentication enables centralized control
of the switch and restricts unauthorized users from altering the
configuration of the switch.
Private VLAN isolates edge ports to ensure user privacy.
Simplified Management
The user friendly web interface helps new users to configure
the switch quickly and easily. For advanced users an industry
standard Command Line Interface (CLI) via console port or
Telnet provides a common user interface and command set to
configure the switch.
Four groups of RMON are supported for traffic management,
monitoring and analysis. When upgrading firmware or fine
tuning configuration, dual software images and multiple
configuration files can be used for backup. TFTP can be used
to backup or restore firmware and configuration files.
