Overview
The TigerSwitch 1000 is a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet
switch designed for the network core. It provides eight 1000 Mbps
ports that can significantly improve the performance of your
network’s backbone, and deliver the throughput needed to
support a broad range of advanced network applications.
With 16 Gigabits of aggregate bandwidth, the TigerSwitch 1000
can provide the quickest solution to meeting the growing demands
on your networkís limited resources. This switch has six
1000BASE-SX SC fiber ports and two GBIC slots. Each 1000 Mbps
port can support high-bandwidth connectivity within or between
workgroups, and increased capacity for server farms, giving your
users faster access to network-wide resources.
The TigerSwitch 1000 includes a built-in management agent that
allows you to configure or monitor the switch using the embedded
management program or SNMP/RMON applications. To manage
the switch, you can make a direct connection to the console port
on the switch’s front panel. You can also make a network
connection to manage the switch using Telnet, the on-board Web
agent, or any SNMP-based network management software.
