About The Tigerstack 1000; Overview - SMC Networks SMC8724ML3 Installation Manual

Overview

SMC's TigerStack 1000 SMC8724ML3 and SMC8748ML3 are intelligent
multilayer switches (Layer 2, 3) with 24/48 10/100/1000BASE-T ports,
four of which are combination ports
transceiver slots (see Figure 1-1, Ports 21-24/45-48). The rear panel
provides a slot for single-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet hot-swappable
expansion modules, and two stacking ports. Units can be stacked up to
eight high through the built-in stacking ports that provide a 40 Gbps stack
backplane.
The switch includes an SNMP-based management agent embedded on the
main board, which supports both in-band and out-of-band access for
managing the stack.
These switches can easily tame your network with full support for
Spanning Tree Protocol, Multicast Switching, Virtual LANs, and IP
routing. It brings order to poorly performing networks by segregating
them into separate broadcast domains with IEEE 802.1Q compliant
VLANs, empowers multimedia applications with multicast switching and
CoS services, and eliminates conventional router bottlenecks.
* If an SFP transceiver is plugged in, the corresponding RJ-45 port is disabled for ports 21-24 on
SMC8724ML3 or ports 45-48 on SMC8748ML3.
