ABOUT THE
TIGERSWITCH 1000
Overview
The TigerSwitch 1000 is a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for the network core. It provides eight 1000 Mbps ports that can significantly improve the performance of your network’s backbone, and deliver the throughput needed to support a broad range of advanced network applications.
With 16 Gigabits of aggregate bandwidth, the TigerSwitch 1000 can provide the quickest solution to meeting the growing demands on your networkís limited resources. This switch has six 1000BASE-T RJ-45 twisted-pair ports and two GBIC slots. Each 1000 Mbps port can support high-bandwidth connectivity within or between workgroups, and increased capacity for server farms, giving your users faster access to network-wide resources.
The TigerSwitch 1000 includes a built-in management agent that allows you to configure or monitor the switch using the embedded management program or SNMP/RMON applications. To manage the switch, you can make a direct connection to the console port on the switch’s front panel. You can also make a network connection to manage the switch using Telnet, the on-board Web agent, or any SNMP-based network management software.
