Managed Switch	SMC6248M
	TigerStackTM 10/100
	Stackable 48-port 10/100 Managed switch with 2 gigabit combo ports and 2 stacking ports

OVERVIEW

SMC Networks' SMC6248M is a high-performance, managed, stackable Layer 2 switch that provides an ideal solution for workgroups and departments. The (48) 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet ports allow desktops to access network resources through flexible 4 Gig uplinks. The entire stack can be managed via a single IP address for simplified net- work administration.

Utilizing an 17.6Gbps switch capacity and support for 8,000 MAC addresses, the SMC6248M is a wire-speed, high performance switch ideal for workgroups or depart- ments. The SMC6248M supports port trunking with up to 6 trunk groups with 2 to 8 ports in each group per stack. Port trunking enables business users to increase availability and aggregated bandwidth between servers and/or other switches, optimizing the transport of business critical data. The SMC6248M uses 1 Gbps ports to interconnect up to 8 units within a stack.

By supporting the IEEE approved specifications, the SMC6248M leverages your existing investment in a multi-vendor environment, while maximizing compatibility of mission critical features such as, Spanning Tree (802.1d), QoS (802.1p/DiffServ/TCP&UDP port number), VLANs (802.1Q), and network management (SNMP/ RMON/BOOTP/Telnet/Web). The SMC6248M robust support of standards-based network management protocols (SNMP/RMON/BOOTP/Telnet/Web/TFTP) and port mirroring enables the SMC6248M to be easily integrated into many third-party network management packages. The SMC6248M also supports redundant power when combined with the SMCRPU14 Redundant power Supply unit.

The SMC6248M brings advanced enterprise functions to a more affordable level while supporting advanced features: L2/L3/L4 (QoS), 802.1x (Port-based Authentication), IGMP snooping, 802.1w (Rapid Spanning Tree), , 802.3ad (Link Aggregation), and 802.1q (VLANs). L2/L3/L4 (ACLs) can be configured based on: Protocol type, 802.1p, DSCP, MAC Address, IP Address, and/or TCP/UPD Port Number. These features facilitate the deployment of enterprise applications such as: VOIP, streaming media, and multicast content delivery (IP video conferencing and software deployment).
