Introduction
SMC’s TigerSwitch
™
16 family consists of a set of three manage-
able Ethernet switches with Fast Ethernet connection capability.
Each switch provides sixteen 10BASE-T ports for connection to
Ethernet hubs, servers and workstations. Each switch also
includes two ports for connection to Fast Ethernet devices. The
switch, depending on the model chosen, will contain either two
100BASE-TX ports, two 100BASE-FX ports or one 100BASE-TX
port and one 100BASE-FX port. The Fast Ethernet port types
found on each model are listed below:
◆ Model SMC6516TT
• two 100BASE-TX ports with Auto-Negotiation
◆ Model SMC6516FF
• two 100BASE-FX ports
◆ Model SMC6516TF
• one 100BASE-TX port with Auto-Negotiation
• one 100BASE-FX port
This chapter provides a set of instructions designed to help you
get up and running quickly and without excessive details. The
steps in each of the two sections refer to other locations in the
manual where further information may be found.
The first section, “Connecting the Switch,” provides a list of
instructions for powering up the switch and making network
connections, and also for setting up a PC to configure and
monitor the switch out-of-band.
The second section, “Configuring the Switch for SNMP and
Telnet Management,” discusses the steps required to set up the
switch for in-band management.
