DATA SHEET

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.
