3Com®Baseline Switch 2226 Plus
Enterprise-class,
Layer 2 10/100 switch
for small and medium
businesses, with
advanced features for
network control and
flexibility
OVERVIEW
The “smart” voice-ready 3Com®Baseline Switch 2226 Plus is a webmanaged Layer 2 10/100 Ethernet switch that delivers enterprise-class
eatures, customized and priced for small- and mid-sized organizations.
f
With an easy-to-use switch interface and advanced features (VLANs,
IEEE 802.1X authentication and Rapid Spanning Tree), twenty-four
10/100 and two dual-purpose Gigabit ports, the Baseline Switch 2226
Plus is the most cost-effective way to provide a converged network.
KEY BENEFITS
LAYER 2 SWITCHING WITH ADVANCED FEATURES
The Baseline Switch 2226 Plus has twenty-four 10/100 ports and two
dual-purpose Gigabit ports (copper or SFP-based fiber) to connect to
high-performance computers, servers, or core network backbones.
The switch provides non-blocking performance—all ports perform at
wirespeed which helps to eliminate network traffic bottlenecks. Manual
link aggregation allows ports to be grouped together to form an ultrahigh-bandwidth connection that greatly expands bandwidth capacity
to the network core.
This “smart” switch has the features that help build a voice ready
network, with support for auto-voice VLAN, SNMP-based management,
IGMP snooping and query and IEEE 802.1X for strengthening security.
The Baseline Switch 2226 Plus also supports Spanning Tree and Rapid
Spanning Tree, traffic prioritization, priority queuing and VLANs.
These switching features ensure optimal use of available bandwidth as
traffic flow is directed according to the needs of the business.
NO SWITCH SETUP REQUIRED
This Baseline Plus switch is operational straight out-of-the-box; as long
as default settings are acceptable, there is no need to configure the
switch. If desired, the switch can be configured using a web browser
ent softwar
em
or SNMP mana
SMART BROWSER-BASED USER INTERFACE
For networks that require more control, the switch management
interface—completely redesigned to enhance useability—allows even
novice users to quickly and confidently configure the switch during
initial setup or normal operation.
In addition, the web interface features individual port-traffic monitoring
(port mirroring) and a unique, quick-glance switch status review. A cable
gnostic tool lets user
dia
the web management interface further simplifying network installation.
