3COM WIRELESS ACCESS CONTROLLERS
SWITCH FEATURES
Advanced Gigabit Switching
Integrated 10/100/1000 switching ports give high-speed
connections for Access Points or wired users. Achieve up
to a 10-times performance improvement with Gigabit
switching over Fast Ethernet. Tri-speed operation
provides full backward compatibility for desktops not yet
upgraded to Gigabit.
Available 10 Gigabit Uplinks
The 3Com Wireless Unified LAN Controller WX3024
model supports 10 Gigabit uplinks to tie into an evolving
core network infrastructure. They are XENPAK
transceiver ready, requiring no additional module for
10 Gigabit XENPAK support. For those wishing for
XFP-based 10 Gigabit support, a module for 10 Gigabit
XFP support is also available. In either case, the
proper transceiver—XENPAK or XFP—must be
separately ordered.
Common Operating System
3Com Wireless Unified LAN Controller WX3000 models
use the same proven 3Com Comware Operating System
software as used in the 3Com premium enterprise
switches such as the Switch 4200G, 4500G, 4800G, 5500G
and S7900E families and enterprise routers like the
3Com MSR router families.
Advanced Convergence Features
3Com Wireless Unified LAN Controller WX3000 models
combine unified wireless management, high performance
Gigabit switching, QoS and traffic management features
to help ensure essential applications get the appropriate
priority for efficient utilization of network resources.
With available Power over Ethernet, these models ready
your network for running converged applications such as
wireless, voice and video surveillance over the network.
Flexible Basic Layer 3 Routing
Layer 3 static routing, with 32 definable static routes,
gives this unified switch added flexibility to handle more
complex networking needs.
Redundant Power System Support
The 3Com Wireless Unified LAN Controller WX3024
model supports a redundant power system (RPS)
connection. For this model, the RPS unit delivers
redundant power so there is continued operation should
the switch unit power supply fail. This allows for
continuous operation of advanced Enterprise networks.
Available are 3Com H3C RPS solutions. These are
enterprise-class power redundancy systems that work
with many 3Com devices. 3Com Corporation manu -
factures networking equipment under the H3C brand for
sale into many markets. The H3C RPS 1000 is 1U high
and provides multiple power output connections to
support multiple switch units at the same time. Two
power rectifiers can be installed for 1+1 load sharing
and power redundancy. It supports switches with -54V
RPS connections, and delivers sufficient power to
fully provision all PoE ports of a switch with full
power redundancy.
Advanced Security
Switch-level security features include:
›
IEEE 802.1X network access control, a standards-based
security combined with RADIUS authentication.
›
RADIUS Authenticated Device Access Authentication to
authenticate attached devices via MAC address for an
additional (RADA) level of endpoint security.
›
Access Control Lists (ACLs) Enable usage policies at
each point of access to the network via the switch
Other Switching Features
The 3Com Wireless Unified LAN Controller WX3000
models support:
›
Multicast filtering using IGMP snooping versions 1, 2
and 3 to eliminate unneeded traffic on the network, and
improve network efficiency.
›
Spanning Tree, Rapid Spanning Tree, and Multiple
Spanning Tree support to improve network resiliency
and availability.
