OVERVIEW
The 3Com ® Baseline Switch SFP Plus Family are "smart" cost-effective
Layer 2 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ethernet switches. These 16-, 24- and
48-port switches provide a user-friendly web browser interface for
switch configuration and administration. With a low entry cost, they
offer advanced features such as IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation, IEEE
802.1p class of service (CoS) traffic prioritization, and VLANs for
greater scalability and support for business-critical applications—such
as customer relation management (CRM), supply chain management
(SCM) and video.

KEY BENEFITS

SMART BROWSER-BASED USER INTERFACE
The easy-to-use web-based interface allows even novice users to quickly
and confidently configure the switch during initial setup or normal
operation. In addition, the web interface features individual port-traffic
monitoring (port mirroring) and unique, quick-glance switch status
monitoring. A new cable diagnostic tool lets users troubleshoot basic
connectivity cabling problems via the web management interface further
simplifying network installation.
WIRESPEED SWITCHING
These switches have non-blocking performance—all ports perform at
wirespeed which helps to eliminate network traffic bottlenecks. Link
aggregation allows administrators to group any number of copper or
fiber ports together to form an ultra-high bandwidth pipe that greatly
expands bandwidth capacity to the network backbone. The switch also
supports 802.1p for traffic prioritization and priority queuing, and
VLANs, which segment the network by grouping users based on data or
traffic exchange requirements. These switching features ensure optimal
use of available bandwidth as traffic flow is directed according to the
needs of the business.
ENTERPRISE-CLASS QUALITY AND RELIABILITY WITHOUT
COMPLEXITY
These Baseline switches are operational straight out-of-the-box; as long
as basic settings are acceptable, there is no need to configure the switch.
For networks that require more control, the user-friendly web-based
interface provides easy-to-use tools to design a network for optimal use.
These switches have a Three Year Limited Hardware Warranty. Advanced
Hardware Replacement, with Next Business Day shipment in most
regions, is also provided.
