Table 4-4 Command Groups

Command Group	Description	Page
Line	Sets communication parameters for the serial port	4-14
	and Telnet, including baud rate and console time-out

General	Basic commands for entering privileged access	4-27
	mode, restarting the system, or quitting the CLI

System	Controls system logs, system passwords, user name,	4-33
Management	browser management options, and a variety of other
	system information

Flash/File	Manages code image or switch configuration files	4-88

Authentication	Configures logon access using local or remote	4-95
	authentication; also configures port security and
	IEEE 802.1X port access control

Access Control List	Provides filtering for IP frames (based on address,	4-119
	protocol, TCP/UDP port number or TCP control
	code) or non-IP frames (based on MAC address or
	Ethernet type)

SNMP	Activates authentication failure traps; configures	4-138
	community access strings, and trap managers; also
	configures IP address filtering

Interface	Configures the connection parameters for all	4-145
	Ethernet ports, aggregated links, and VLANs

Mirror Port	Mirrors data to another port for analysis without	4-159
	affecting the data passing through or the
	performance of the monitored port

Rate Limiting	Controls the maximum rate for traffic transmitted or	4-161
	received on a port

Link Aggregation	Statically groups multiple ports into a single logical	4-162
	trunk; configures Link Aggregation Control
	Protocol for port trunks

TigerSwitch specifications

The SMC Networks TigerSwitch series represents a robust line of Ethernet switches designed to cater to a wide range of networking needs, from small businesses to enterprise environments. With a strong emphasis on performance, reliability, and ease of use, the TigerSwitch series has garnered a reputation for delivering effective solutions for today’s demanding data communication requirements.

One of the standout features of the TigerSwitch is its support for Gigabit Ethernet, which enables higher data transfer rates and reduced latency. This performance boost is crucial for businesses that rely on bandwidth-heavy applications such as VoIP, video conferencing, and large file transfers. Many models in the series come with multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports, providing businesses with the flexibility to connect various devices and expand their networks seamlessly.

The TigerSwitch series also incorporates advanced Layer 2 switching capabilities, including features such as VLAN support and QoS (Quality of Service). VLAN support allows network administrators to segment network traffic, enhancing security and improving overall network performance. By segregating traffic based on user groups or applications, VLANs help manage bandwidth more effectively. QoS is particularly important in environments where voice and video services compete for bandwidth, as it prioritizes critical applications ensuring minimal interruptions in service quality.

Another key characteristic of the TigerSwitch is its user-friendly management interface. Many models come with web-based management capabilities, making it simpler for network administrators to configure settings, monitor performance, and troubleshoot issues. Additionally, the series supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), allowing for centralized network management and monitoring, which is essential for larger networks.

The TigerSwitch series also promotes energy efficiency, aligning with modern eco-friendly practices. Many of the switches feature Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, allowing them to deliver power to connected devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points over the same Ethernet cable used for data. This not only simplifies cabling requirements but also contributes to reducing overall power consumption, which is a consideration for both cost savings and environmental impact.

In conclusion, the SMC Networks TigerSwitch series stands out due to its combination of performance, advanced features, and ease of management. With its Gigabit Ethernet capabilities, VLAN and QoS support, user-friendly interfaces, and energy-efficient design, the TigerSwitch is well-equipped to meet the diverse needs of modern networking environments, offering reliable solutions that cater to both current demands and future expansions.
