Switch Memory and Configuration

Using the CLI To Implement Configuration Changes

The above command disables port 5 in the running-config file, but not in the startup-config file. Port 5 remains disabled only until the switch reboots. If you want port 5 to remain disabled through the next reboot, use write memory to save the current running-config file to the startup-config file in flash memory.

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# write memory

Storing and Retrieving Configuration Files. You can store or retrieve a backup copy of the startup-config file on another device. For more informa- tion, see appendix A, “Transferring an Operating System or Startup-Config File.”

Using the CLI To Implement

Configuration Changes

The CLI offers these capabilities:

■Access to the full set of switch configuration features

■The option of testing configuration changes before making them perma- nent

How To Use the CLI To View the Current Configuration Files. Use show commands to view the configuration for individual features, such as port status or Spanning Tree Protocol. However, to view either the entire startup- config file or the entire running-config file, use the following commands:

■show startup-config: Displays the current startup-config file.

■write terminal: Displays the current running-config file.

The show startup-configand write terminal commands display the configuration settings that differ from the switch’s factory-default configuration.

How To Use the CLI To Reconfigure Switch Features. Use this proce- dure to permanently change the switch configuration (that is, to enter a change in the startup-config file).

1.Use the appropriate CLI commands to reconfigure the desired switch parameters. This updates the selected parameters in the running-config file.

SMC6624M specifications

SMC Networks SMC6624M is a robust and versatile managed switch designed to meet the needs of enterprises seeking reliable network solutions. This device features 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports that allow for high-speed data transfer, making it ideal for environments that demand high bandwidth. The SMC6624M is particularly suited for small to medium-sized businesses that require a powerful network backbone to support various applications, including voice, video, and data transmission.

One of the standout features of the SMC6624M is its Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities, enhancing the flexibility and efficiency of network management. The switch supports VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), which allow administrators to segment network traffic for improved security and performance. This capability is essential for organizations looking to optimize their network resources and apply policies that enhance security.

The SMC6624M also integrates advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features, enabling the prioritization of network traffic. This is particularly useful for applications such as VoIP and video conferencing, where maintaining low latency and jitter is crucial for ensuring a seamless user experience. Users can define traffic classes and manage bandwidth allocation, which helps in maintaining the quality of critical applications even during peak usage times.

In terms of connectivity and performance, the SMC6624M includes 4 Gigabit SFP ports, allowing for fiber optic connections to extend network reach and provide flexibility in deployment. The ability to take advantage of high-speed fiber connections means businesses can scale their networks as needed without significant infrastructure changes.

Management options for the SMC6624M are comprehensive. It supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for monitoring and managing network performance effectively. Additionally, the switch can be configured using a web-based interface, command-line interface (CLI), or through SNMP, providing flexibility to network administrators with different preferences and expertise.

Furthermore, the SMC6624M is built with a fanless design, which ensures quiet operation and is energy efficient. Its compact form factor and sturdy build make it suitable for installation in various environments, including data centers and office settings.

Overall, the SMC Networks SMC6624M stands out for its combination of speed, flexibility, and management features, making it an excellent choice for businesses looking to enhance their network infrastructure. With a focus on reliability and performance, this managed switch promises to deliver the capabilities that today's modern networks demand.
