3Com Standards Router Interoperability Testing

3Com products are well engineered and rigorously tested to ensure compliance with relevant standards.

3Com Router 3000 and 5000 families, running the currently available operating system v 1.2, were tested by 3Com against the Cisco 2600 and 3600 routers, running one of Cisco's operating system versions 12.2 (12c), 12.2 (12g), or 12.3 (1a).

Results support our claim of standards compatibility for those protocols, features, models, and software versions tested below.

Additional testing continues, and results will be published as they are received.

3Com Router 3000 and Router 5000 Families were tested for the interoperability shown below.
