ABOUT THE TIGERSWITCH 100

Management Options

This switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for

“at-a-glance” monitoring of network and port status. It also includes a Network Management Module that allows the entire stack to be managed in-band via SNMP or RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3 and 9) protocols, with a Web browser, or remotely via Telnet. The switch also provides a serial port on the rear panel for out-of-band management.

Note: Only one Network Management Module must be installed in the stack for the current firmware release.

Description of Hardware

100BASE-FX VF-45 Ports

These ports are VF-45 multimode fiber ports that can be connected to workstations and servers with 62.5/125 micron or 50/125 micron multimode fiber cable.

Each of these ports support half- and full-duplex operation at 100 Mbps. Note that 100BASE-FX ports do not support auto-negotiation of duplex mode, so this has to be configured manually. However, the ports do support IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of flow control, so the switch can automatically prevent port buffers from becoming saturated.
