SMC Introduces New Managed Enterprise Switches with IPv6.IRVINE, Calif. -- New TigerStack(TM)II 1000 Stackable 24- and 48-port 10/100/1000 Switches with Optional 10G Uplinks Handle High-Bandwidth Applications with the Most Advanced of Management Features -- Including IPv6 SMC Networks (www.smc SMC Saint Mary's College 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) today announced the newest in its TigerStack(TM) family of high-performance switches: the TigerStack II 1000 Stackable 24- and 48-port 10/100/1000 switches (SMC8824M and SMC8848M). Shipping in April, the new switches pack the bandwidth, port density and flexibility to maximize network performance as workgroup aggregators in enterprise environments. The first SMC Networks switches to include IPv6 management among their advanced management features, the SMC8824M and SMC8848M have what it takes to improve enterprise network performance now, and into the future. The TigerStack II 1000 24-port Stackable Managed Switch (SMC8824M) is available now at an MSRP MSRP Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price MSRP Message Session Relay Protocol MSRP Multi-Species Recovery Plan (US Fish & Wildlife Service) MSRP Member of the Society for Radiological Protection (UK) of $2499.99; the 48-port SMC8848M, at $3999.99. The first SMC switches to support IPv4 and IPv6, the SMC8824M and SMC8848M are future-proofed -- providing for the possibility of flexible management, simplified routing and growth. Enterprise-level, fully featured 10/100/1000BASE-T 1RU-high stackable managed switches, the SMC8824M and SMC8848M, with 24 and 48 total ports, respectively, pack the full range of L2/4 features. Four of the ports on each switch are combo ports that accept optional SX, LX or ZX SFP transceivers for fiber connectivity; and two 10Gigabit XFP XFP 10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable Module XFP Extra-Fine-Pitch XFP Ten Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable module slots provide high-bandwidth connectivity to the core. Stackable to 8-high, these switches can expand to provide up to 384 ports of high-bandwidth connectivity per stack. Designed to handle high-bandwidth applications at speeds reaching up to 176Gbps with a non-blocking switching architecture, the SMC8824M and SMC8848M provide cost-effective, Gigabit Ethernet switching for demanding networks that require robust management capabilities. Their fully loaded management features include Quality of Service (QoS) with eight levels of priority, weighted fair queuing See traffic engineering methods. and L2/3/4 IP for smooth transmission of mission-critical data. Ideal for Enterprise workgroup applications, the SMC8824M and SMC8848M support VLANs based on frame tags, ports or protocol; automatic GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) A standard for registering a client station into a VLAN.

The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. registration; and Multiple Spanning Tree. Their comprehensive security features include RADIUS, 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, SSH, SSL, TACACS (Terminal Access Controller Access Control System) An access control protocol used to authenticate a user logging into the network.

A Pascal-based implementation of coroutines. ["Coroutines", C.D. . "Security, management and performance are key to the successful Enterprise network, and these switches also support IPv6," said SMC product manager Iain Kenney. "The new SMC8824M and SMC8848M switches make the Enterprise network run with speed, efficiency and accuracy today, while bringing preparedness for the more intense routing needs that are just around the corner to maintain their value and utility into the future."
