The only certainty in networks today
is that bandwidth demands will
continue to increase. As more complex and time-sensitive applications
such as voice and video are created
for the desktop, a higher volume of
traffic is generated throughout the
network. This results in network bottlenecks that can cause performance
problems within workgroups, to and
from servers, and across the backbone. Switching technology has
proven to be the most cost-effective,
flexible, and least disruptive way to
add and manage bandwidth at every
level of your network.
3Com has the broadest array of
switching solutions to match your
particular requirements. To safeguard
your investment, we offer a family
of stackable switches that delivers
Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit

raw bandwidth of Gigabit Ethernet,
ATM provides alternative methods for
delivering effective backbone solutions,
such as Quality of Service (QoS), which
guarantees bandwidth to applications.
The control offered by ATM enables
the deterministic delivery of applications
and services in complex network
environments.
Layer 3 Switching
Intranets and extranets, while proving
indispensable for companies of all sizes,
are also causing new traffic management
problems. Hypertext links between
servers and e-mails create any-to-any
traffic that are overwhelming legacy
LAN routers. As a result, companies are
experiencing more bottlenecks between
subnetworks. Layer 3 switching solves
these intranet bottleneck problems by
embedding classical routing in the
switch hardware that routes traffic at
high speeds while intelligently isolating
faults, containing broadcast traffic, and
providing seamless subnet/VLAN
connections.
SuperStack II
Switches for All Your
Technology Needs
Today, your desktop population
probably requires a mix of 10 Mbps and
100 Mbps service to meet the individual
demands of your users. As you deliver
higher speeds to the desktop, server
connections may become strained, so you
need options to scale to Fast Ethernet,
Gigabit Ethernet, or ATM for high-speed
desktop and server connections as well as
in the backbone. With the SuperStack II
family of switches, you can support all
of your bandwidth requirements with
the appropriate technology and the
appropriate level of control.
Ethernet
Today, Ethernet is the most popular
topology for implementing local area
networks. Ethernet provides bandwidth
that can be either shared across a number
of users using hubs, or dedicated to
workstations using switched technology.
The availability of low-cost Ethernet
switches has also made it possible to
deliver dedicated 10 Mbps full-duplex
links to the desktop, for affordable highperformance, high-functionality, and
highly manageable networks.
Fast Ethernet
Fast Ethernet, based on the Ethernet
standard, is a high-speed technology that
runs over your existing infrastructure,
works with your existing management
systems, and requires no retraining by
your IT staff. Fast Ethernet is one of the
most popular high-speed technologies
because it’s cost effective, stable, and
compatible with existing Ethernet LAN
environments. Fast Ethernet runs over
fiber and copper. For greater performance, full-duplex is also supported.
10/100 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet
10/100 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet with
autosensing capability is one of the
most economical and flexible ways to
add bandwidth immediately—while
maintaining migration options to
higher bandwidth in the future. 10/100
technology combines conventional
10BASE-T and high-speed 100BASETX support in one device, delivering
higher bandwidth to the desktop,
aggregating 10/100 hubs, and
maintaining the status quo for those
who are efficiently served by 10 Mbps
Ethernet. With 10/100 autosensing
functionality, there is no need to
configure individual switched ports.
The switch automatically senses the
speed of the connected end device
(either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) and
channels the data through at the
appropriate speed.
Gigabit Ethernet
Gigabit Ethernet retains the traditional
simplicity and manageability of
Ethernet and Fast Ethernet, making it
easy to integrate with existing LAN
equipment. It allows a tenfold increase
in backbone bandwidth over Fast
Ethernet with minimal impact on
support staff. The extra bandwidth
helps you deal with unplanned changes
and additions to the network, and
frees you from constantly tuning the
network. Gigabit Ethernet is a powerful
backbone/server solution because it
delivers phenomenal bandwidth cost
effectively, preserves the Ethernet frame
format, and works with your existing
traffic management systems.
ATM
ATM is an established LAN backbone
technology that offers significant
benefits to larger organizations by
providing tight integration between
LAN and WAN environments and
offering high levels of resilience and
redundancy. In the LAN environment,
OC-3c (155 Mbps) and OC-12c
(622 Mbps) connections are used to
communicate across the network. While
these connections do not provide the

Features
Stackability
Four SuperStack II Switch 1100 or
Switch 3300 units can be interconnected
to form a stack that offers unrivaled
performance and management features.
Each unit has a built-in connector at
the rear of the unit called the matrix
port. Two units can be connected backto-back with a SuperStack II Switch
matrix cable. To connect more than two
units, a SuperStack II matrix module can
be inserted into the high-speed module
slot of one of the units in the stack, and
a matrix cable can be used to connect to
each switch in the stack.
Stacking provides the user with a
plethora of benefits. These include the
ability to manage in excess of 100 ports
as a single logical entity. Configuration
is therefore faster and simpler. Stacking
also provides the user with the optional
resilient IP addresses across the stack.
Thus if a failure should occur, the
resilient IP address can be used for
management stacking using the
SuperStack II Switch matrix module
and cable, keeping front panel ports
free and increasing the number of
matrix ports in an aggregated system.

This PC-based application provides
powerful, yet easy-to-use network
management tuned to the needs of smallto-medium enterprises. Network devices
are automatically discovered and network
activity and stress monitored through an
intuitive graphical interface focused on the
tasks and information all managers need
to take control of their network.
Web-based management
Manage your switches with any Web
browser, either through direct or dial-up
connection or across the LAN. This
delivers ease of use and accessibility to
network management personnel and
reduces in-service costs, but still with
full security.
Security—Disconnect Unauthorized
Device (DUD)
LAN security architecture with DUD
automatically disconnects unauthorized
devices from the LAN.
Roving Analysis Port (RAP)
RAP allows a network analyzer attached
to any unit in a stack to monitor any of
the switch ports or virtual LANs
(VLANs) in the stack. It also minimizes
the time required for problem determination and resolution and maximizes
switch uptime, thereby lowering your
cost of ownership.
RMON support
Transcend software’s powerful combination of RMON (Remote Monitoring,
a superset of SNMP MIB II) and
embedded SmartAgent software reduces
the processing burden on your management station, minimizes network traffic,
and saves time by automatically monitoring and analyzing your network.
RMON tells you at a glance how the
network is performing and who is using
it the most. And Transcend software
gives you the added benefit of RMON
features in your network without the
processing and memory costs usually
associated with RMON. See the Ata-Glance RMON Support table on
page 24 for details on RMON groups
supported by SuperStack II switches.
Class of Service (CoS)
CoS can be defined simply as a method
for prioritizing various traffic types.
3Com switches can support two methods
of enabling CoS on Ethernet networks.
The first method is IEEE 802.1D
(incorporating 802.1p), which enables
eight levels of prioritization; and the
second method is 3Com’s innovative
PACE
®
technology, which allows the
user to specify certain applications as
high priority. A hardware feature, dual
queues, is used to exploit these traffic
prioritization schemes; the dual queues
function—required for CoS—will

VLANs
VLANs allow PCs, workstations, and
other resources, including printers and
file servers, to be organized into logical,
broadcast domains so that only devices
within the same domain can communicate with each other. 3Com switches
allow users to implement VLANs on
their network using one of two schemes:
IEEE 802.1Q, including GVRP, which
enables the auto-learning of VLANs, or
3Com’s VLT. Both methods allow for the
configuration of VLANs based on ports
and/or MAC addresses for maximum
flexibility and security. For 802.1Q
VLANs, a port on a switch can be
assigned to a VLAN; all other switches
learn about that VLAN when the
switches automatically communicate that
knowledge via the GVRP protocol.
Switches supporting both VLAN
schemes can be used to provide seamless
migration from VLT to IEEE 802.1Q
environments that preserve investment
in current LAN developments and
equipment.
Layer 3 Support
Multicast filtering using IGMP
snooping
Multicast filtering enables the automatic
configuration of filters for IP multicast
traffic, such as video and audio broadcasts, allowing advanced multimedia
applications to be delivered easily to the
workgroup.
Fast IP
Fast IP is 3Com’s standards-based cutthrough routing solution for all types
of legacy routing network backbones.
This reduces traffic flow through router
bottlenecks and maximizes performance
by utilizing the switched infrastructure.
Layer 3 switching
Layer 3 switching is the implementation
of routing protocols in leading-edge
ASIC technology. Routing performance
is dramatically and cost effectively
boosted to enable the widespread
deployment of intranets (IP-based
networking).
automatically enable a second port
buffer for high-priority traffic thereby
allowing the traffic to bypass lower priority data for faster processing within
the switch.
Traffic Management
Flow control
Flow control is an essential switch
feature that eliminates dropped packets
on congested ports. To provide switch
application flexibility, 3Com switches
support flow control schemes suited to
both full- and half-duplex environments.
Intelligent Flow Management (IFM)
is a solution designed to work in half
duplex, for example, a hub aggregation
application. A solution using IEEE
802.3x is also supported and designed
for full-duplex connections, such as
desktop switching; this method of flow
control is set automatically using the
autosensing features of SuperStack II
switches.
Broadcast traffic control
Traditional Ethernet switches suffer from
the threat of broadcast storms that can
potentially bring networks to a halt.
However, all SuperStack II switches
can be configured with broadcast storm
protection to limit the number of
broadcast packets allowed to be
forwarded by each port. This allows the
SuperStack II switches to offer the
security of broadcast storm protection
normally associated with a router while
also providing the protocol independence
of a switch.
Network Availability
Backup power supplies
3Com gives you all the choices you
need to ensure constant power to your
stackable switches. Both the Advanced
Redundant Power System (ARPS) and
the Uninterruptible Power System
(UPS) work with any SuperStack II
switch. The ARPS is ideally suited as a
backup for individual power supplies in
the SuperStack II units. The UPS fully
protects your SuperStack II system
from the effects of brownouts or spikes
that occur in outside power lines.
Resilient links
3Com’s simple and flexible resilient
links technology ensures fault tolerance
via redundant connections to other
network devices.
Spanning tree
Support for the industry-standard
IEEE 802.1D spanning tree protocol is
provided as an alternative to resilient
links. This protects against network
loops and can be used to provide
redundant network paths.
Port trunking
Port trunking establishes backbone
links by treating multiple parallel links
as a single network pipe. Trunking also
provides link redundancy; traffic on
any failed link comprising a network
trunk automatically switches over to
the other links in the trunk.

1100/3300 family includes four highperformance switches that can be
mixed and matched to achieve the perfect combination of cost and features
for desktop, workgroup, and backbone
aggregation. This is the first family of
switches that enables IT managers to
create a “virtual stack” of different
switches that act as one logical
switch—providing an easy and affordable way to build performance and
capabilities into the network as needed.
Each switch has a built-in matrix
port connector at the rear of the unit.
Two units can be connected with a
low-cost SuperStack II Switch matrix
cable; three or more units can be
stacked using a SuperStack II Switch
matrix module that delivers highspeed/performance interswitch links—
eliminating bottlenecks between
switches. Stacked switches communicate through matrix ports, so you don’t
consume valuable Fast Ethernet or
Gigabit Ethernet ports. You can mix
and match multiple switches to create
one virtual switch of up to 110
switched ports that is manageable as a
single entity with a single IP address
(note: multiple IP addresses can be supported to provide resilient stack
management).
To make management even easier,
the SuperStack II 1100/3300 family
features Web-based monitoring and
control, so IT staff can troubleshoot or
configure a stack from any location.
Embedded Remote Monitoring
(RMON) support provides detailed
information on network traffic. The
switches also ship with 3Com
Transcend Network Supervisor, an easy
and automatic management solution
specifically designed for small- and
medium-sized businesses.
For added reliability, the switches
support resilient links and spanning
tree, as well as optional redundant
power supplies.
In addition to this easy mix-andmatch scalability, the SuperStack II
Switch 1100/3300 family supports a
broad range of expansion modules
(such as Layer 3 switching, Gigabit
Ethernet, or ATM support) to add connectivity or functionality as needed.
What’s more, all four models share
the same software, reducing training
time and ensuring flawless interoperability. Companies can even bolster
their e-business initiatives by adding
voice and video to their networks with
a rich traffic management feature set,
including:
• Policy enforcement with Fast IP,
IGMP snooping, IEEE 802.1D
(incorporating 802.1p prioritiza-
tion), and IEEE 802.1Q
standards-based VLANs
• Dual queues to help prioritize multimedia traffic
• Multicast filtering using IGMP
snooping/GMRP for more efficient
bandwidth utilization when transporting video traffic
• Elastic port buffering for on-the-fly
port buffer memory allocation,
enabling automatic performance
optimization based on network
traffic
• Flow control to maximize performance and minimize packet loss
under heavy network loading
• Automatic detection of full-/halfduplex operation on all ports to
maximize performance without
manual configuration
• Trunking support to aggregate links
into a single high-speed connection
to other switches or backbone networks
• Optional Layer 3 switching to
increase network performance by
off-loading legacy routers and controlling broadcast/multimedia traffic
All models in the SuperStack II
Switch 1100/3300 family come with
the 3Com lifetime limited warranty,
which includes 5 years of free advance
hardware replacement (3Com will ship
a new switch out to you even before
you return the old one.). For extra
assurance, you’ll also receive 90 days of
free telephone technical support, as
well as free lifetime software upgrades.

SuperStack II Switch 2700
The SuperStack II Switch 2700 is a
12-port integrated Ethernet workgroup
switch with the added advantage of an
ATM port for high-speed backbone or
server connections. The switch is ideal
for workgroups that need increased
bandwidth across Ethernet ports
and also require a high-speed ATM
downlink to an ATM campus backbone
now or in the future. SuperStack II
Switch 2700 future proofs your
network with built-in ATM link
capability, making ATM migration
simple and economical. Ethernet
switching operates even if the ATM port
is not configured, allowing you to
implement Ethernet LAN switching
now and connect the LAN to an ATM
backbone later. You get advanced cellbased switching without having to make
changes in existing LAN devices, which
protects your current network
investment. The ATM port
SuperStack II Switch 2700
Back view
Front view
accommodates an OC-3c multimode
155 Mbps SONET/SDH interface for
local and collapsed backbone ATM
connections, or a DS-3 45 Mbps
interface for wide-area links. Singlemode ATM offers support over long-
haul distances greater than 2 kilometers.
Two software-selectable options for
Ethernet switching—cut-through and
store-and-forward modes—offer more
flexibility for network design.
Ethernet-to-ATM Switching
SuperStack II Switch 2200
The SuperStack II Switch 2200 is a
full-featured Ethernet/FDDI switch
that employs state-of-the-art RISC
and ASIC-based technology for highend workgroup performance and
server/backbone connectivity. The
SuperStack II Switch 2200 is the
price/performance leader in its class.
It provides 16 switched 10BASE-T
Ethernet ports and one high-speed
FDDI port for server or backbone
links. The FDDI port can be configured with DAS, allowing you to set up
a resilient LAN. Advanced switching
features include virtual workgroups for
flexible management, user-defined
packet filters to control traffic flow, IP
fragmentation for optimizing Ethernet/
FDDI transfers, and IEEE 802.1D
bridging for optimizing switching in
various LAN environments.
Elastic packet buffering guarantees a
maximum number of buffers for each
port, dynamically allocating additional
buffers as needed to alleviate port
congestion and minimize dropped
packets during high-traffic periods.
Roving Analysis Port (RAP) allows you
to monitor traffic on any Ethernet
port.

Network Management
3Com offers a variety of network management applications matched to the
scale and requirements of your network.
3Com Transcend network management
applications are designed to simplify
network management, increasing your
network’s efficiency and increasing your
staff’s productivity. All Transcend applications provide optimal management of
your SuperStack II devices. Which
application you choose will depend on
the size of your network and your
requirements for network management.
Small Enterprise/Small-Business
Solution
3Com provides two options for managing small networks (up to 500 users):
Transcend Network Supervisor and
Transcend WorkGroup Manager for
Windows NT.
Transcend Network Supervisor provides easy-to-use, yet powerful network
monitoring tuned to the needs of small
enterprises and small businesses. Less
experienced network managers will find
the automated operations and intelligent defaults helpful, while more
experienced users will enjoy using the
advanced features. An intuitive user
interface focuses on the tasks and information all managers need to monitor
their network. A discovery wizard finds
IP devices and links. Then, the structure
is automatically mapped to provide a
graphical display of the network.
Working from the map, you can quickly
monitor network stress levels, set thresholds and alerts, view network events,
generate reports, and launch device configuration tools.
Transcend WorkGroup Manager is
designed for similarly sized networks
and provides additional management
capabilities. WorkGroup Manager supports a broader set of 3Com devices,
features agent administration capabilities, and has full integration with
vendor-independent HP OpenView
for Windows.
Medium Enterprise Solution
Recommended for medium networks
(up to 2,500 users), Transcend Enterprise Manager for Windows NT
provides more robust management for
3Com’s full suite of switches, hubs, and
routers in a single application. Colorcoded device icons, audible alarms, and
connectivity testing bring simplicity to
managing your network. Advanced configuration capabilities let you configure
the same parameters across multiple
devices with a single action and quickly
and efficiently distribute new device
agents across the network. A turnkey
management solution, Enterprise Manager includes HP OpenView for
Windows. Other core management
capabilities of Transcend Enterprise
Manager for Windows NT include:
■ Monitoring, analyzing, and trou-
bleshooting using class-leading
RMON management tools, including
packet capture and filter
■ Automatically discovering and con-
figuring network devices
■ Managing stackable products as one
SuperStack II system rather than a
number of separate devices
■ Graphical statistics that help spot
potential problems before they occur
■ Preventing unauthorized access with
user passwords and access levels
■ Receiving automatic notification of a
fault in a SuperStack II ARPS or UPS
Sophisticated Medium and Large
Enterprise Solution
For management of sophisticated
medium and large enterprises, 3Com
offers Transcend Network Control Services. Available for both UNIX and
Windows NT environments, Transcend
Network Control Services delivers a
superset of the functionality of Transcend Enterprise Manager, adding
advanced management capabilities,
such as:
■ Control and configuration of ATM
and VLAN networks, including use
of sophisticated policy-based VLAN
services
■ Flexible Web-based network
management, featuring monitoring,
reporting, and configuring
capabilities
■ Advanced status polling
■ Monitoring, analyzing, and trouble-
shooting using class-leading RMON
management tools, including packet
capture and filter
