Performance
Enterprise-class, wirespeed, branch office
or small workgroup managed Layer 2
10/100 switching with 8 10/100 ports and
flexible Gigabit uplink capabilities. Two
models are available: both have 8 10/100
copper ports. In addition, the
OfficeConnect Managed Switch 9 has a
built-in 10/100/1000 Copper Gigabit
Uplink while the OfficeConnect Managed
Switch 9 FX offers a choice of a built-in
100Base-FX port and an SFP slot that can
accommodate 1000BASE-LX and SX trans-
ceiver modules.
Security and convergence
Advanced security for network data and
the management traffic controlling a
network. User network login with IEEE
802.1x and RADIUS authentication,
provide secure network access control at
the edge of the network. Further
enhancing security, authenticated users
can be automatically placed into a specific
VLAN, restricting access only to the data
they need. Secure Shell (SSH) encryption
of login passwords, management VLANs,
and management station “trusted IP
address” lists help protect the network
from rogue management threats.
Furthermore, the switches support Power
over Ethernet on port 1, 2, 5 and 6. This
allows seamless integration of Wireless
Access Points and VoIP phones.
Network Control
Network management is available through
an embedded web and command line inter-
face (CLI), or via an SNMP management
station. Supported by the range of 3Com
management offerings including 3Com
Network Supervisor.
