systems (IDS/IPS), content

filtering, and more.

• Multilayered protection

Improves network’s intrusion

resistance across multiple

network segments, layers, and

services-inside and outside the

perimeter boundaries.

• Network processor Aggregates

Security Switch 6200

Key Benefits

Protects Against Blended Threats

Integrates enterprise-class firewall, virtual

private network (VPN), intrusion detection

system (IDS), antivirus, spam and content

filtering, and more in a high-performance,

defense-in-depth platform for corporate

headquarters and regional offices. 

Safeguards Internal and External

Networks

Applies firewall policies on a per-port basis

for up to 18 physical LAN segments,

placing multiple security zones inside and

outside the perimeter. 

Deploys No-Compromise Security at Wire

Speeds

Delivers robust security services without

impacting data-center performance or

other high-speed access—with 2 Gbps

firewall, 500 Mbps IDS, and 300 Mbps

IPSec VPN throughputs.

Consolidates Switching and Security

Capabilities

Integrates a high port-density interface

with proven security applications onto one

centrally managed platform—for dramatic

savings over multiple-appliance, load-

balanced alternatives.

Cost-Effectively Scales as Needed

Supports a variety of third-party security

bundles that can be separately purchased

and configured as needed, with the option

of trying out new security applications

prior to purchase.

Ensures High Availability of Security

Protects enterprise networks with a highly

available system that includes VRRP dual-

box stateful synchronization and dual

hot-swap power supplies.

The revolutionary 3Com® Security Switch

6200 delivers a score of security services

for a fraction of the cost of purchasing

these disparate capabilities separately.

Ideal for large enterprise deployments,

such as regional- or head-office networks

and data centers, this switch supports a

range of proven security applications.

Without compromising protection,

performance, or availability, this integrated

security services switch platform delivers

significant savings over multiple-appli-

ance, load-balanced solutions. 

Traditional security best practices require

purchasing and administering individual

firewalls, VPNs, content and spam filters,

antivirus scanners, IDS, and intrusion

prevention systems (IPS). With the 3Com

Security Switch 6200, these applications

can be seamlessly consolidated onto one

centrally managed, load-balanced, high-

capacity platform. IT managers can

purchase only the features they need to

effectively deploy multiple layers of secu-

rity against blended threats. For example,

the 3Com Security Switch 6200 can

monitor up to 18 IDS zones using one soft-

ware license—as opposed to requiring 18

separate appliances and 18 software

licenses. Or they can use it to manage a

blend of security services deployed across

multiple network segments.

A unique, two-stage architecture combines

an embedded network processor and flow-

management and acceleration

software—enabling the switch to simulta-

neously process multiple traffic streams

and security services. It also includes

built-in redundancy for applications,

system, interface, and power to help

ensure 24/7 availability and reliability.
