Overview
The TigerAccess 10/100 is an intelligent Layer 2 switch with 24
10/100BASE-TX ports for subscriber access to the data network, two
Gigabit Ethernet combination ports
* for uplink traffic. The uplink ports
are implemented as 10/100/1000BASE-T ports shared with SFP
transceiver slots (see Figure 1-1, Ports 27-28). The switch also includes one
10/100BASE-TX port for dedicated management access (which can be
operated outside the data channel), and two slots for optional Gigabit
Ethernet combination modules (one 10/100/1000BASE-T port shared
with an SFP slot).
The switch includes an SNMP-based management agent embedded on the
main board, which supports both in-band and out-of-band access.
This switch can enhance your network with full support for Spanning Tree
Protocol, Multicast Switching, and Virtual LANs. 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.
* If an SFP transceiver is plugged in, the corresponding RJ-45 port is disabled for ports
27-28 built into the front panel, or ports 25-26 on the optional media expansion
modules.
