Switch Architecture
The TigerSwitch 10/100 employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching
fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets
at low latency on all ports. This switch also features full-duplex capability
on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.
Switching Method
This switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data
integrity. In store-and-forward switching mode, the entire packet must be
received into a buffer and checked for validity before being forwarded.
This prevents errors from being propagated throughout the network.
Management Options
This switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a- glance”
monitoring of network and port status. It also includes a built-in network
management agent that allows the switch to be managed in-band using
SNMP or RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3 and 9) protocols, with a Web browser, or
remotely via Telnet. The switch provides an RS-232 serial port (DB-9
connector) on the rear panel for out-of-band management. A PC may be
connected to this port
for configuration and monitoring out-of band via a
null-modem cable.
This switch provides a wide range of advanced features. Port-based and
tagged VLANs, plus support for automatic GVRP VLAN registration that
provides traffic security and efficient use of network bandwidth. QoS
priority queueing ensures the minimum delay for moving real-time
multimedia data across the network. Flow control eliminates the loss of
packets due to bottlenecks caused by port saturation. Broadcast storm
control prevents broadcast traffic storms from engulfing the network. For
a detailed description, refer to the Management Guide.
