Network Management Agent

The TigerSwitch 1000 includes a built-in network management agent. The agent offers a variety of management options, including SNMP, RMON and a Web-based interface. The switch also provides

aserial port on the rear panel for out-of-band management. This is an RS-232 serial port with a DB-9 connector. A PC may be connected to this port for configuration and monitoring purposes out-of band via a full-handshaking null-modem cable. (See Appendix B for a description of wiring options.)

The network management agent provides a wide range of advanced performance-enhancing features. Port-based and tagged VLANs provide traffic security and efficient use of network bandwidth. QoS priority queueing ensures the minimum delay for moving real-time multi-media data across the network. Flow control eliminates the loss of packets due to bottlenecks caused by port saturation. And broadcast storm suppression prevents broadcast traffic storms from engulfing the network. Some of the management features are described below. For a detailed description, refer to the Management Guide that is included with the switch.
