SMC Networks this week unveiled a managed switch and then pitched it as one level of four that it offers in Gigabit switching.
The SMC8024L2 TigerSwitch has 24 ports of 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet. SMC says the management features are targeted at small
businesses. The switch can support IEEE 802.1x for security, four levels of QoS, weighted fair queuing, SNMP for management
and virtual LANs based on frame tags or ports.
The company says a midsized company that needed multiple switches could get manageability features in this switch without
having to pay for stacking or enterprise-level management.
