In the table, the MSRP for the SMC8648T should read: $4,599. The corrected release reads: SMC EXPANDS ITS GIGABIT SWITCHING PORTFOLIO WITH A 1RU 48-PORT TIGERSWITCH Feature-rich TigerSwitch(TM) 10/100/1000 48-Port Gigabit Standalone Managed Switch packs more than just density, with advanced management, security and next-generation ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. SMC Networks (www.smc.com), leading provider of networking solutions for the Enterprise, the SMB (1) (Small to Medium-sized Business) Also called "SME" (small to medium-sized enterprise), it refers to companies that are larger than the small office/home office (SOHO), but not huge. and all the way home, today announced its newest Gigabit backbone switch, the TigerSwitch(TM) 10/100/1000 48-Port Managed Switch (SMC8648T). The new high-density, high-performance SMC8648T switch will be available in early January, at an MSRP of $4,599. The new SMC8648T switch has 48 fixed 10/100/1000 ports, four of which can be upgraded with optional mini GBIC (GigaBit Interface Converter) A hardware module used to attach network devices to fiber-based transmission systems such as Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet. The GBIC converts the serial electrical signals to serial optical signals and vice versa. expansion slots for fiber connections. Compact and efficient, despite its high port count and advanced features, the SMC8648T is the ideal solution for any enterprise workgroup or backbone switching application. At its best in challenging, high-traffic environments, the SMC8648T races ahead of the pack to move data at speeds up to 96Gps; up to 9K in jumbo frame In computer networking, jumbo frames are Ethernet frames with more than 1500 bytes of payload (MTU). Conventionally, jumbo frames can carry up to 9000 bytes of payload, but variations exist and some care must be taken when using the term. support mode. The TigerSwitch SMC8648T not only delivers high performance, it's loaded with advanced features that demanding environments need. In addition to RADIUS, 802.1x, SSH (Secure SHell) A security protocol for logging into a remote server. SSH provides an encrypted session for transferring files and executing server programs. Also serving as a secure client/server connection for applications such as database access and e-mail, SSH supports a and SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) The leading security protocol on the Internet. Developed by Netscape, SSL is widely used to do two things: to validate the identity of a Web site and to create an encrypted connection for sending credit card and other personal data. for security, the new switch offers complete Layer2/3/4 switching with traffic prioritization, including DSCP-based CoS and TCP/UDP TCP/UDP Transmission Control Protocol/User Datagram Protocol Port-based CoS, as well as port and protocol-based VLANs. For more powerful management applications, this TigerSwitch also offers rate-limiting, Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP SNTP Simple Network Time Protocol SNTP Space Nuclear Thermal Propulsion SNTP Sub Network Termination Point ) and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol See SMTP. (messaging) Simple Mail Transfer Protocol - (SMTP) A protocol defined in STD 10, RFC 821, used to transfer electronic mail between computers, usually over Ethernet. It is a server to server protocol, so other protocols are used to access the messages. (SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) The standard e-mail protocol on the Internet and part of the TCP/IP protocol suite, as defined by IETF RFC 2821. SMTP defines the message format and the message transfer agent (MTA), which stores and forwards the mail. ) -- all configurable through an intuitively designed Command Line Interface (CLI (1) (Call Level Interface) A database programming interface from the SQL Access Group (SAG), an SQL membership organization. SAG's CLI is an attempt to standardize the SQL language for database access. ). Built for robust workgroup and backbone switching today, the SMC8648T also has the flexibility to allow for upgrades to even more features that will be released in the future, including SNMPv3, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol Based on an algorithm invented by Radia Perlman while working for Digital Equipment Corporation[1][2], Spanning Tree Protocol Is an OSI layer-2 protocol which ensures a loop free topology for any bridged LAN. (802.1s) that allows single spanning tree within VLANs, and Access Control List (ACL See access control list. 1. ACL - Access Control List. 2. ACL - Association for Computational Linguistics. 3. ACL - A Coroutine Language. A Pascal-based implementation of coroutines. ["Coroutines", C.D. ). "This powerful, high-density switch was designed to excel in the most demanding networks," said SMC Product Marketing Manager Jennifer Wu. "As the majority of desktop computers and servers are integrated with Gigabit over copper interfaces, the TigerSwitch is designed to be part of a server farm's infrastructure. Its security, performance and management features make it ideal for Gigabit to the desktop applications, too. Attractively priced at under $100 per port, the TigerSwitch meets the fast growing market demand for affordable, high-performance Gigabit over copper." The TigerSwitch SMC8648T10/100/1000 Managed Switch is available in early January, at an MSRP of $4,599. Uplinks and redundant power supplies are also available at MSRPs of $200 to $2,807.
