Gigabit Ethernet LAN and WAN connectivity

An organization supporting a mixture of 10/100 Mbps switched and shared desktop connections has migrated to a Gigabit Ethernet backbone.

3Com has taken an early lead in the Gigabit Ethernet market by providing the ability to utilize this new high-speed technology while protecting your existing network infrastructure investment.

In this configuration, the SuperStack II system in the basement comprises a Switch 9300, a Switch 3900, and an Advanced Redundant Power System for added resilience. The Switch 9300 provides the Gigabit Ethernet switching backbone and links to Gigabit Ethernet servers while the Switch 3900 provides unconstrained access to a large Fast Ethernet server farm. This configuration provides the fastest backbone solution and fastest server access for all floors.

On the first floor, the SuperStack II Switch 3900 provides line- rate services to power users directly connected to switched Fast Ethernet ports.

On the second floor, the SuperStack II Switch 3300 and Switch 1100 provide network connectivity to switched 10 Mbps and

100 Mbps users, and the use of an optional SuperStack II Switch 1000BASE-SX module provides Gigabit Ethernet support.

On the third floor, the SuperStack II Switch 3300 provides line- rate services to power users on switched Fast Ethernet as well as switched 10 Mbps services to less demanding users, and con- nects shared 10 Mbps and 10/100 hubs to the Gigabit Ethernet backbone. The network is managed at the Transcend network management console.

Switches specifications

3Com switches have long been a significant player in the networking landscape, known for their reliable performance and robust features tailored for both small and medium-sized businesses as well as enterprise environments. Over the years, 3Com has developed a range of switches that cater to various networking needs, supporting a diverse array of applications. As part of HP's networking product line since their acquisition, 3Com switches have integrated advanced technologies and offered a variety of characteristics that enhance network performance and collaboration.

One of the main features of 3Com switches is their high-performance switching capabilities. Many 3Com models provide Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, allowing for rapid data transfers and reducing latency in network communications. This is particularly beneficial for businesses that rely on real-time data processing and high-bandwidth applications, such as video conferencing and large file transfers.

Another noteworthy characteristic of 3Com switches is their intelligent management features. They often come equipped with a web-based interface that allows for streamlined configuration and monitoring of network traffic. This enables IT administrators to manage their networks efficiently, deploying updates and troubleshooting issues with ease. Further enhancing network manageability, many 3Com switches support SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), enabling centralized management of multiple devices across a network.

Furthermore, 3Com switches incorporate Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, allowing them to deliver power along with data through standard Ethernet cables. This is particularly advantageous for powering devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points without the need for additional power sources, simplifying deployment and reducing clutter.

Scalability is another defining feature of 3Com switches. Many models are designed to facilitate easy expansion, accommodating growing network demands. Organizations can start with a few switches and expand their network infrastructure as their requirements evolve, ensuring that their investment in networking equipment remains relevant over time.

In terms of security, 3Com switches provide robust features such as VLAN support, network access control, and port security, safeguarding sensitive data and reducing the risk of unauthorized access. These elements are critical for maintaining a secure and reliable network environment.

In summary, 3Com switches deliver a combination of high performance, intelligent management capabilities, PoE technology, scalability, and robust security features. These characteristics make them an ideal choice for businesses looking to enhance their networking infrastructure and support dynamic and growing operational needs.
