Priced at less than $25 per port, the SMC6824M is an economical, versatile solution for bandwidth-starved networks. The 24-port SMC6824M and its network enhancing add-ons, two optional slots for fiber and Gigabit expansion and the optional network protecting Redundant Power Supply Unit, are available beginning this month. Ready to manage connections for 10Mbps and 100Mbps copper connections right out of the box, it can provide optional fiber connectivity via a choice of either 100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-LX, SX or ZX. The 24-port TigerStack III not only delivers high-performance, non-blocking switching at wire speed, it's loaded with the advanced features that demanding environments need. Its built-in security includes RADIUS authentication (1) Verifying the integrity of a transmitted message. See message integrity, e-mail authentication and MAC. (2) Verifying the identity of a user logging into a network. , TACACS (Terminal Access Controller Access Control System) An access control protocol used to authenticate a user logging into the network. TACACS is a simple username/password system. +, 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 for secure Telnet sessions, 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. , VLAN See virtual LAN. VLAN - Virtual Local Area Network support with GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) A standard for registering a client station into a VLAN. See 802.1p. and more. And the SMC6824M comes with a top-notch management toolset that features EliteView(TM) management software, as well as support for QoS, rate limiting In computer networks, rate limiting is used to control the rate of traffic sent or received on a network interface. Traffic that is less than or equal to the specified rate is sent, whereas traffic that exceeds the rate is dropped or delayed. , RMON (Remote MONitoring) Enhancements to the management information base (MIB) structure used by the simple network management protocol (SNMP). In 1991, RMON added comprehensive network monitoring capabilities. and Fast Spanning Tree. Built for robust workgroup and backbone switching today, the SMC6824M has the flexibility to allow for upgrades to even more features in the future, like SNMPv2 and IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.1x pass through. At its best in demanding, high-traffic environments, the versatile TigerStack III puts its non-blocking 9.6Gbps switching fabric backplane An interconnecting device that has sockets for printed circuit boards to plug into. Passive and Active Although resistors may be used, a "passive" backplane adds no processing in the circuit. to work to move data at blazingly fast speeds. Its efficiencies extend beyond just speed, though -- it stacks up to eight units high, allowing up to 192 ports to be managed under a single IP. "The TigerStack III addresses today's demands for more security and authentication features," said Jennifer Wu, SMC's product manager for switch products. "The SMC6824M gives network administrators a means to create a secure yet fast networking environment for evolving workgroups, while maintaining the ease of use and quality that the SMC TigerStack line is known for."
