| SMC Ships New Managed Enterprise Switches with IPv6 SMC Networks has announced the newest in its TigerStack family of switches: the TigerStack II 1000 Stackable 24- and 48-port 10/100/1000 switches (SMC8824M and SMC8848M). Shipping in April, the new switches pack the bandwidth, port density and flexibility to maximize network performance as workgroup aggregators in enterprise environments. The first SMC Networks switches to include IPv6 management among their advanced management features, the SMC8824M and SMC8848M have what it takes to improve enterprise network performance now, and into the future. The first SMC switches to support IPv4 and IPv6, the SMC8824M and SMC8848M are future-proofed - providing for the possibility of flexible management, simplified routing and growth. Enterprise-level, fully featured 10/100/1000BASE-T 1RU-high stackable managed switches, the SMC8824M and SMC8848M, with 24 and 48 total ports, respectively, pack the full range of L2/4 features. Four of the ports on each switch are combo ports that accept optional SX, LX or ZX SFP transceivers for fiber connectivity; and two 10Gigabit XFP module slots provide high-bandwidth connectivity to the core. Stackable to 8-high, these switches can expand to provide up to 384 ports of high-bandwidth connectivity per stack. Designed to handle high-bandwidth applications at speeds reaching up to 176Gbps with a non-blocking switching architecture, the SMC8824M and SMC8848M provide Gigabit Ethernet switching for demanding networks that require robust management capabilities. Their fully loaded management features include Quality of Service (QoS) with eight levels of priority, weighted fair queuing and L2/3/4 IP for smooth transmission of mission-critical data. Ideal for Enterprise workgroup applications, the SMC8824M and SMC8848M support VLANs based on frame tags, ports or protocol; automatic GVRP LAN registration; and Multiple Spanning Tree. Their comprehensive security features include RADIUS, IEEE802.1x, SSH, SSL, TACACS+, and ACL. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
