3870 Gigabit-to-the-desktop
Announcing 3Com® Switch 3870 Version 3.0 Software
3Com
is pleased to announce the coming of Version 3.0 software
for the 3Com Switch 3870 Gigabit switch line. Significant
in this release is that the software adds dynamic Layer 3
routing (RIP) to the switch, with no requirement to change
hardware.
The new Layer 3 software will be a free upgrade for units
purchased on or after October 31, 2005. For units bought before
this date, one can receive this valuable upgrade via an affordable
Software Upgrades Contract or through a Guardian or Express
service contract.
About
Version 3.0 software for the Switch 3870
Version
3.0 software is a software-only upgrade to the 3Com Switch
3870 that adds significant new capabilities to this Gigabit-to-the-desktop
switch line. Key and foremost among the new features of the
new software is Layer 3 routing. But there are other valuable,
new capabilities as well.
This
upgrade is for the two Switch 3870 models:

Sale
Price $4,400.00
Here
is the full list of new features and their benefits:
Layer
3 routing allows the switch to move data between workgroups,
domains or Virtual LANs. This speeds workgroup performance
as cross-domain traffic can be handled locally.
Dynamic Layer 3 (RIP) automates the set-up and maintenance
of Layer 3 switching. This is a great improvement over
static routes which require operator set-up and ongoing
maintenance.
Management
Port
Trap Enable / Disable on a per port basis
This
gives greater flexibility to on setting port alerts for
troubleshooting purposes.
Security
Private
Port
Creates
a secure environment where all ports are isolated from
eachother. This is particularly valuable in a shared unsecure
environment such as for hotel guest rooms where you wouldn't
want one guest to be "snooping" on the data of others.
About
the 3Com Switch 3870
With
the new Version 3.0 software, the 3Com Switch 3870 Family
are wirespeed Layer 3 Gigabit-to-the-desktop switches with
integrated 40Gbps stacking of up to eight units. The switches
have dynamic IP routing to boost network performance and security
while simplifying administration. Enterprise-class security
features include 802.1X network login, SSH/SSL encrypted device
log-in, and Access Control Lists. Link aggregation (LACP)
is support across stacked units. For great flexibility, four
of the ports are dual-personality, operating either as 10/100/1000
or SFP-based fiber. These future-proof devices have a 10-Gig
expansion slot for an ultra-high bandwidth uplink. They come

Expand
Your Network Intelligently With a Managed
Switch ...............................................................................
In the Wall.
Do
you have too many users contending for too few ports —
in your offices and conference rooms, classrooms, hospital
floors, or cubes? Do you need more wiring but cannot afford
the cost or disruption? With the 3Com® Network Jack
family of unique switches, there's a quick, cost-efficient
way to multiply LAN connectivity using your existing wiring.
And now 3Com has the NJ200 Network Jack, a switch that's centrally
managed to be fully integrated with your enterprise LAN.
Plug
Into 3Com Network Jacks
These "in the wall" switches are only available from 3Com. Expand
a single LAN outlet with four 10/100 Mbps switched LAN ports,
as well as optional pass-through ports for telephony or additional
LAN connections. Up to six total devices can plug into the same
network jack wall plate, reducing the clutter of desktop appliances
and exposed power cables.
These
compact units mount easily in standard wall cutouts. This
innovative design provides durability and permanence for
high-traffic locations such as classrooms and labs, public
kiosks, conference rooms, and shared office spaces. Unlike
freestanding hubs or switches, network jacks aren't as exposed
to tampering, damage, or theft.
Their
industry-standard switch technology supports Ethernet, Fast
Ethernet, and Power Over Ethernet specifications—including
802.3af-compliant power forwarding to other devices. For
LANs without Power Over Ethernet, individual AC adapters
can power network jacks.
Bring
Intelligence to the Edge of the Network
Where centralized device control is required, 3Com offers
the intelligent NJ200 Network Jack. Advanced Ethernet switch
features-802.1p traffic prioritization, QoS, VLANs, and
multicast filtering-enable NJ200s to function in larger
enterprise environments.
Bundled
software utilities that ship with the unit let you remotely
configure and monitor the network jacks. SNMP compatibility
enables NJ200s to be easily discovered and controlled by
standard management platforms—including HP OpenView
and 3Com Network Supervisor.
Port-based
VLANs and passwords improve network security. IT managers
can assign VLANs on a port-by-port basis, organizing individual
switched connections into separate subnets. Security passwords
can be set for an individual network jack or groups of network
jacks.
In
short, the NJ200's manageability lets your IT staff more
quickly troubleshoot and enhance data security without making
trips to the desktops.
Affordable,
Versatile Smart Gigabit Switch
The "smart" 3Com® Baseline Switch 2816-SFP Plus is
the first in a new family of Baseline Plus Switches that sets new
standards among small business Gigabit switches with 16 Gigabit
ports and 4 SFP slots. A user-friendly web browser lets even network
novices easily set up and maintain a network. Wirespeed, non-blocking
Layer 2 throughput and a switching capacity of up to 32 Gbps can
handle the most bandwidth-intensive applications. Gigabit ports
can be used for connections to high-performance computers, as well
as high-demand servers. Class of service (CoS) traffic prioritization
makes sure real-time applications run effectively and enables the
switch to operate in larger networks.
Any
of the available ports can be trunked, or aggregated, to create
an ultra-high bandwidth pipe to the network core. Copper and SFP-based
fiber connections can be mixed together for versatile operation.
VLAN support allows administrators to segment their network and
divide available bandwidth, while traffic monitoring helps keep
the network running at optimum performance even during busy traffic
periods.
The
switch also promotes "ease of use/plug and play" installation,
operating straight out of the box, so it's up and running in minutes.
With features like auto MDI/MDIX and autosensing ports, the small
business switch eliminates the most common cabling errors and simplifies
installation, as well as detecting and adjusting the speed of connected
devices to optimize network performance.
Small
business configurations can vary, so the 3Com Baseline Switch 2816-SFP
Plus is designed to operate as a free-standing or rack-mounted unit
included mounting kit. The standard 19-inch, one rack-unit-high
(1 RU) enclosure optimizes valuable office space. Sturdy design
and construction pays off in high reliability and long service life.
Limited Lifetime hardware warranty and advance hardware replacement
provide peace of mind long after deployment.
Sixteen
Gigabit copper ports support high-speed connections for demanding
desktop applications, servers, network aggregation, and uplinks
to the network core
Four dual-purpose ports support Gigabit copper or SFP transceiver
slots for multimode shortwave fiber (1000BASE-SX) or multimode
longwave fiber (1000BASE-LX) connections
Link aggregation combines copper or fiber ports to create up to
four ultra-high-speed trunks, with up to eight ports per trunk,
substantially increasing bandwidth to the network backbone or
other switches
VLANs (up to 256) enable administrators to group users based on
data or traffic requirements to ensure that traffic flow is directed
according to priority business needs
An intuitive, web-based user interface allows even network novices
to set up and administer the network
To help administrators get top functionality and performance out
of the switch, an online help system supports them through every
configuration step, providing key information about switch functionality
and features
Non-blocking performance means the switch operates at full wirespeed
on all ports, delivering unimpeded access to network resources
Auto MDI/MDIX on all ports simplifies installation and reduces
cabling errors; auto-negotiation accommodates mixed-bandwidth
LANs
IEEE 802.1p CoS traffic prioritization enables networks to run
real-time multimedia applications more effectively by reserving
bandwidth for time-sensitive traffic and allows the switch to
operate in larger networks
One Rack Unit (1RU) form factor optimizes rack space
