Flexible Switching for the Backbone
Deliver multilayer gigabit switching performance at the backbone with this Gigabit switch. Supporting both copper and fiber connectivity, this switch provides a unique combination of high performance and media flexibility for a building or campus backbone, as well as for a server farm. This flexible switch provides six fixed 1000BASE-SX ports, 12 fixed 10/100/1000 copper ports, and six fixed GBIC ports that can support a combination of 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, and 1000BASE-LH70 (long-haul Gigabit Ethernet).

• Nonblocking gigabit switching performance delivers a forwarding rate of more than 41 million packets per second across all ports
  
  
• Layer 2 switching functionality such as multicast filtering, virtual LANs, link aggregation, and RMON supports demanding applications
  
  
• Advanced Class of Service support lets you prioritize critical traffic (check support.3com.com for availability of multilayer classification)
  
  
• Transparent webcache redirection enables Web traffic to be redirected automatically to a 3Com® SuperStack® 3 Webcache, easing administration (check support.3com.com for availability)
  
  
• Layer 3 switching lets you exercise network control through IP routing and implement security policies on your networks using IP access lists

• Total ports: 12 autosensing 10/100/1000 ports; 6 fixed 1000BASE-SX ports; 6 GBIC ports accommodating 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, or 1000BASE-LH70 GBICs ; 1 expansion slot
• Media interfaces: RJ-45, MT-RJ
• Ethernet switching features: Full-rate, nonblocking switching on all Ethernet ports; full-/half-duplex autonegotiation and flow control; 802.1Q VLAN support, 802.1p, and multilayer traffic prioritization; Layer 3 switching supports IP unicast routing; RIP/RIPv2 support; ARP, ICMP, CIDR, UDP Helper, IP multinetting, and access control lists
• Management: Web interface management, command line interface management, SNMP management via 3Com Network Supervisor 3.0, included free
