SMC NETWORKS SHIPS TIGERCHASSIS 10/100/1000.SMC Networks, a leading solutions provider of networking products engineered to increase the performance and productivity of small-to-medium enterprises, has announced it is now shipping the TigerChassis 10/100/1000 (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) 9712G). It is a high-performance Layer 3 managed switch designed to meet the growing network performance requirements of small- to medium-sized enterprises (SME (1) (Small and Medium-sized Enterprise) See SMB. (2) (Subject Matter Expert) An individual who is well-versed in the policies and procedures of a particular department or division. ) and workgroups. Providing wire-speed Layer 2 and Layer 3 managed switching, the 12-slot TigerChassis 10/100/1000 offers the flexibility, versatility and redundancy characteristics of chassis-based switching, giving organizations the ability to expand and tailor the system to meet their unique network requirements. Scalable from eight to 96 fast ethernet ports and from one to 24 gigabit ethernet ports using a variety of available SMC modules, the TigerChassis is an all-in-one solution that meets organizational requirements for high port-density and routing between subnets and VLANs. "Our new switch offers increased network performance by intelligently routing internal network traffic between subnets and VLANs, thereby eliminating the traffic bottleneck at the router," explained Jennifer Wu, product manager at SMC Networks. "The TigerChassis 10/100/1000 switch provides Layer 3 routing technology to meet the growing demands for performance and reliability required by the SME market." Aside from a design that allows full redundancy from the switch fabric modules down to the power and cooling systems cooling systems for housed animals include spraying of roofs with water, evaporative pads with fans, foggers and misters; for pastured animals shelter from the sun by trees or artificial shade devices and cooling ponds are used. , the TigerChassis boasts a robust feature set including support for IP routing, (RIP v1, RIP v2), with future support of OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) A routing protocol that determines the best path for routing IP traffic over a TCP/IP network based on distance between nodes and several quality parameters. , DVMRP (Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol) The first popular routing protocol to support multicast. Stemming from RIP and used in the Internet's Mbone (multicast backbone), DVMRP allows for tunneling multicast messages within unicast packets. and PIM (1) (Protocol Independent Multicast) A multicast routing protocol endorsed by the IETF. Used in conjunction with an existing unicast routing protocol, it comes in two flavors: Dense Mode (PIM-DM) is used when recipients in the target group are in a concentrated . Additionally, the switch supports IEEE 802.1Q QoS tagging, multicast filtering and CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) An expansion of the IP addressing system that allows for a more efficient and appropriate allocation of addresses. The original class-based method used fixed fields for network IDs, which was wasteful. . The TigerChassis 10/100/1000 is available now at an estimated street price of $3,120. For 30 years, SMC Networks has set the standard for high-quality, standards-based PC connectivity and Internet access. SMC leverages global manufacturing resources and strategic relationships with technology innovators to bring to market a growing range of affordable, leading-edge products. |
