ABOUT THE TIGERSWITCH 10/100
Switch Architecture
The TigerSwitch employs a high-speed switching fabric. This design allows for simultaneous transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. It also uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity. In this mode, the entire packet must be received into a port buffer and checked for validity before being forwarded. This prevents errors from being propagated throughout the network. This switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.
This switch also includes two slots on the rear panel for optional Gigabit modules that can be used to uplink to a collapsed Gigabit backbone or for a high-speed server connection.
Management Options
This switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for
“at-a-glance” monitoring of network and port status. It also includes a management agent that allows the switch to be managed in-band via SNMP or RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3 and 9) protocols, with a Web browser, or remotely via Telnet. The switch also provides a serial port on the front panel for out-of-band management.
