SMC Santa Monica College SMC Solaris Management Console SMC Smooth Muscle Cell SMC Small Magellanic Cloud (also see LMC) SMC Safety Management Certificate (maritime shipping) .com), leading provider of networking solutions for the SMB/e and all the way home, today announced its newest Gigabit backbone switches, the TigerStack(TM) 10/100/1000 48-Port Stackable Managed Switch (SMC8748M) and 24-Port Stackable Managed Switch (SMC8724M), both with optional 10G uplink. These new high-density, high-performance SMC8748M and SMC8724M switches are available now, at MSRPs of $4,999.99 and $3,399.99, respectively. The new SMC8748M switch has 48 fixed 10/100/1000 ports; the SMC8724M has 24. In each of the switches, four of the ports 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. An optional one-port 10Gigabit XENPAK Module can be added to either of the switches for 10G uplink. Compact and efficient -- just 1RU high despite their high port count and advanced features -- these newest TigerStack switches are ideal solutions for any enterprise workgroup or backbone switching application. At their best in challenging, high-traffic environments, the SMC8748M and SMC8724M race ahead of the pack with switching capacity as high as 156Gbps for the 48-port switch, 108Gbps for the 24-port version. The new TigerStack 10/100/1000 Stackable Managed Switches not only deliver high performance, they're loaded with advanced features that demanding environments need. Security is paramount in today's networks, and these new switches deliver, with ACLs and 802.1x for secure network access, and 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 , SSL/HTTPS for secure management enabled by RADIUS and 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. +. Flexible Layer 2/3/4 traffic prioritization and rate-limiting enable Quality of Service across the network, and network segmentation Network segmentation in computer networking is the act or profession of splitting a computer network into subnetworks, each being a network segment or network layer. Advantages of such splitting are primarily for boosting performance and improving security. is provided by port and protocol-based VLANs. For more powerful management applications, these new TigerStack 10/100/1000 switches also offer 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) and stack-wide link aggregation See port aggregation.

Built for robust workgroup and backbone switching today, the SMC8748M and SMC8724M can be mixed or matched for stacking up to eight units high, and have the flexibility to allow for upgrades to even more features that will be released in the future. "These powerful, high-density and bandwidth switches were designed to excel in the most demanding networks, now, and into the future," said SMC Product Manager Iain Kenney. "10/100/1000 copper connectivity built-in, with options for fiber and 10 Gigabit uplink make it extraordinarily flexible and adaptable -- perfect for growing enterprise and workgroup environments." The TigerStack SMC8748M and SMC8724M 10/100/1000 Stackable Managed Switches and optional uplinks and redundant power supplies are available now.
