ABOUT THE TIGERSWITCH 1000

Multicast Switching

Specific multicast traffic can be assigned to its own VLAN to ensure that it does not interfere with normal network traffic and to guarantee real-time delivery by setting the required priority level for the designated VLAN. The switch uses IGMP Snooping and IGMP to manage multicast group registration.

Traffic Priority

This switch provides Quality of Service (QoS) by prioritizing each packet based on the required level of service, using two distinct categories with Weighted Fair Queuing. It uses IEEE 802.1Q and 802.1p tags to prioritize incomming traffic based on input from the end-station application driver. These functions can be used, for example, to provide independent priorities for real-time video, real-time voice, guaranteed-delivery data, or best-effort data.

Optional Redundant Power Unit

SMC provides an optional Redundant Power Unit (RPU), SMCRPU150W, that can supply power to the switch in the event of failure of the internal power supply.

Power Supply Receptacles

There are two power receptacles on the rear panel of the switch. The standard power receptacle is for the AC power cord. The receptacle labeled “DC Input” is for the optional Redundant Power Unit (RPU).
