INTRODUCTION
| Gigabit Ethernet technology allows signal transmission at the rate of one |
| gigabit per second (1 Gbps, or 1000 Mbps), while continuing to support |
| IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD local area networks. Using this technology, you can |
| add gigabit bandwidth to critical areas of a network and fully leverage |
| investments in Ethernet and Fast Ethernet products. |

Hub 1000 SX | The 3Com® SuperStack® II Hub 1000 SX Gigabit Ethernet |
General Description | repeater (part number |
| of a hub with the high performance and efficient throughput of a switch. |
| You can use the Hub 1000 SX to: |
| ■ Aggregate servers |
| ■ Aggregate 10/100 Mbps switches |
| ■ Provide gigabit bandwidth to a power workgroup that is running a |
| |
| film postproduction, CAD/CAM, or digital prepress |
| The Hub 1000 SX is an |
| at a speed of one gigabit per second. The hub forwards all incoming |
| packets (without filtering them) to all links except the originating |
| link, thus providing a shared bandwidth domain. Like a switch, the |
| Hub 1000 SX uses |
| bandwidth and ensure reliable performance. |
| The hub is ready to use and requires no configuration. However, some |
| configuration options are available through the console interface for use |
| in exceptional cases. |
| The Hub 1000 SX is part of the 3Com SuperStack II system and can |
| be used with the SuperStack II Advanced Redundant Power System |
| (Advanced RPS) and the SuperStack II Uninterruptible Power System (UPS), |
| which provide |
