TigerSwitch™ 1000
SMC8608SX
8 Port Gigabit Switch
SMC's new TigerSwitch™ 1000 is a Gigabit Ethernet backbone switch that provides 8
full-duplex 1000BASE-SX ports. With 16 Gbps of bandwidth, this switch dramatically
improves the performance of congested networks. A host of advanced features and
comprehensive management capabilities make this device a potent solution for the
network core.
The TigerSwitch™ 1000 provides high bandwidth, high-performance connectivity
within and between workgroups, and increased capacity for server farms, giving users
faster access to network-wide resources. Moreover, the 1000BASE-SX fiber optic ports
support connections up to 550 meters (1800 feet) in length.
The TigerSwitch™ 1000 comes fully-loaded with advanced performance-enhancing
features. IGMP maintains available bandwidth by limiting multicast transmissions to
subscribers only. Broadcast Storm Suppression prevents broadcast traffic storms from
engulfing the network. QoS priority queueing ensures the minimum delay for real-
time multimedia data across the network. Flow Control eliminates the loss of packets
due to bottlenecks caused by port saturation. Port-based and tagged VLANs are also
included to provide traffic security and efficient use of network bandwidth.
