CHAPTER 1 ABOUT THE TIGERSWITCH 10/100 Overview SMC’s TigerSwitch™ 10/100 (SMC6724AL2) contains 24 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX (RJ-45) ports plus two slots on the front panel for slide-in modules (100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-X/T). There is also an SNMP-based management agent embedded on the main board. This agent supports both in-band and out-of-band access for managing the switch. This switch provides a broad range of powerful features for Layer 2 switching, delivering reliability and consistent perf

ABOUT THE TIGERSWITCH 10/100 Switch Architecture The switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. This switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection. Auto-negotiation is used to select the optimal transmission speed and communication mode for each connection. With store-and-forward switching and flow control, ma

DESCRIPTION OF HARDWARE Description of Hardware RJ-45 Ports The switch base unit contains 24 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports. All of these ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. (See “10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments” on page B-2) Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10 or 100 Mbps) can
