Enjoy next-generation Gigabit switch-
ing performance in the data center or
desktop with the SuperStack 3 Switch
4924 and Switch 4950. The SuperStack
3 Switch 4924 and Switch 4950 are
based on a 3Com developed advanced
switching ASIC architecture, which
delivers 56 Gbps switching performance
for demanding enterprise applications.
Each switch delivers non-blocking
Layer 2 and Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet
switching across a maximum of 28
Gigabit ports, forwarding at speeds in
excess of 41 Mpps with zero packet
loss.
In addition, like the rest of the
Superstack 3 Switch 4900 family,
the Switch 4924 and Switch 4950 also
provide an expansion slot designed
to accommodate a diverse variety of
Gigabit media using the Switch 4900
family expansion modules and
3Com GBICs.
Part of the SuperStack 3 Switch 4900
family, both switches provide support
for Layer 3 switching for IP networks,
enabling a wide array of services,
such as unicast IP routing, UDP
Helper, IP multinetting and Access
Control Lists based on IP addresses
that can be used to provide enhanced
control and security across a Layer 3
switching implementation.
Radically simple administrative
features ease configuration and
management, through support for
IP addressing using a DHCP client,
RMON event notification via an
integrated e-mail client, Rapid
Spanning Tree support, Auto-MDIX
and Smart Autosensing.
The SuperStack 3 Switch 4924 and
Switch 4950 also supports transparent
webcache redirection to the
SuperStack 3 Webcache appliances,
for more efficient use of Internet
bandwidth and enhanced web perfor-
mance.
Their unique combination of perfor-
mance, flexibility, and features set new
standards for Gigabit Ethernet switch-
ing, enabling you to alleviate
performance bottlenecks across the
infrastructure, and enjoy network con-
trol through rich Layer 2 and Layer 3
switching—without compromise.
High-performance, flexible Gigabit backbones
and data centers using the SuperStack 3
Switch 4950 and Switch 4924.
