Managed Switch	SMC8612XL3
	TigerSwitchTM 1000 Standalone L3 Managed 12 SFP Port Gigabit Switch

OVERVIEW

The TigerSwitch 1000, SMC8612XL3, performs Layer 2 switching and IP-based Layer 3 routing in the same box. It includes 12 SFP 1000BASE-X ports, in association with 4 1000BASE-T gigabit copper ports. The TigerSwitch is designed to integrate distant network subnets and VLANs seamlessly, augmenting or completely replacing slow legacy routers, and providing the required throughput for today’s web-based intranet traffic flow.

The SMC8612XL3’s application is versatile and flexible. It features: GMRP and IGMP to maintain available bandwidth by limiting multicast packet transmissions to subscribers only; OSPF, DVMRP multicast routing to significantly conserve bandwidth by minimizing packet replication

across the network; QoS and Layer 2/3/4 Class Of Service to ensure a minimum delay for real-time multimedia data across the network, while port-based and tagged VLANs with support for GVRP are also included to provide traffic security and efficient use of network bandwidth. With a host of advance features and comprehensive management capabilities, this device is a strong solution for the network core with the flexibility to be integrated into existing network infrastructure. VLANs with IEEE802.1Q, 1s, and private, and of course, IGMP for today’s multimedia applications. Also included are features such as RADIUS client enhancement for 802.1x, TACACS+, SSH, SSL, Access Control List (ACL) to address today’s concerns regarding security.
