Switch Architecture

The TigerSwitch employs a high-speed switching fabric. This
design allows for simultaneous transport of multiple packets at low
latency on all ports. It also uses store-and-forward switching to
ensure maximum data integrity. In this mode, the entire packet
must be received into a port buffer and checked for validity before
being forwarded. This prevents errors from being propagated
throughout the network. This switch also features full-duplex
capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of
each connection.
This switch also includes two slots on the rear panel for optional
Gigabit modules that can be used to uplink to a collapsed Gigabit
backbone or for a high-speed server connection.

Management Options

This switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for
"at-a-glance" monitoring of network and port status. It also
includes a management agent that allows the switch to be
managed in-band via SNMP or RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3 and 9)
protocols, with a Web browser, or remotely via Telnet. The switch
also provides a serial port on the front panel for out-of-band
management.
