ABOUT THE SWITCHES
2-4
The Fast Ethernet ports on each switch are contained in a sin-
gle, dual-port replaceable module.* This modular design allows
you the option of installing different types of Fast Ethernet
ports, according to your changing network needs.
The available slide-in replacement modules are listed below:
All the switches employ a buffered “store-and-forward” architec-
ture that performs error checking to prevent bad packets from
being propagated throughout the network. Their non-blocking
design allows simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple
packets at consistently low latency on all ports. And, they
feature full-duplex operation to double the bandwidth of those
desktop and switch connections.
In addition to “at-a-glance” LEDs, these switches feature an
integrated scalable management set that includes out-of-band
management via an RS-232 console port, in-band management
via Telnet or any SNMP-based manager, support for 4-group
RMON, and Port Mirroring for full RMON support with an
external probe or for traffic analysis via any network lanalyzer.
This enables you to choose the level of management that’s right
for you.
The TigerSwitch 16 family also supports an optional Redundant
Power Unit to minimize downtime in the event of an internal
power supply or AC circuit failure.
* Note: The switch will not POST (Power On Self-Test) without a
module installed.
