Chapter 1: Introduction Overview The TigerSwitch 10/100/1000, SMC8126L2, is an intelligent Layer 2 switch with 26 * 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, four of which are combination ports that are shared with four SFP transceiver slots (see Figure 1-1, Ports 21-24). The SMC8126L2 includes an SNMP-based management agent embedded on the main board, which supports both in-band and out-of-band access for managing the switch. The switch can easily tame your network with full support for Spanning Tree Prot

Introduction 1 Switch Architecture The SMC8126L2 employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. It also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection. This switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity. With store-and-forward switching, the entire packet must be received into a buffer and checked for valid
