and confidently configure the switch during initialsetup and manage it during normal operation.Graphical switch and port views provide a clearunderstanding of switch status and configuration.In addition, the web interface features individual port-traffic monitoring (port mirroring) and diagnostic toolslike ping and traceroute. A cable diagnostic tool letsusers troubleshoot basic connectivity problems via theweb management interface further simplifyingnetwork installation.IMC management platform. IMC is our nextgeneration fully integrated comprehensivemanagement platform. It delivers full FCAPS solutionas defined by ISO, among other features. IMCmanagement software can be used to map thenetwork topology, indicating what devices areconnected, and on what ports. Switch managementand software upgrades can be easily done. OtherSNMP-based management tools may also be used.The Switch family also supports a compact CommandLine Interface (CLI) that is accessed via the front panelconsole port. Using the CLI, major switch managementoptions can be quickly configured.2 3COM® BASELINE PLUS SWITCH 2900 GIGABIT FAMILYKEY BENEFITS (continued)FEATURE HIGHLIGHTSFEATURE DESCRIPTIONPerformanceVLANs Segment the network by grouping users based on their data or traffic exchangerequirements. This ensures optimal use of available bandwidth as traffic flow is directedaccording to the needs of the business.Advanced QoS and traffic limiting Traffic prioritization, using IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) and Type of Service (TOS)with Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP), and ingress/egress rate limiting helpensure that critical time-sensitive traffic like voice gets the priority needed for qualitycommunications.Link aggregation (trunking) Group together up to 8 ports automatically using Link Aggregation Control Protocol(LACP), or manually, to form an ultra-high-bandwidth connection to the networkbackbone; help prevent traffic bottlenecks.Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol Improves network compatibility, scalability and availability.(STP/RSTP/MSTP) supportIGMP snooping Multicast filtering optimizes network performance, instead of flooding traffic to all ports.Unique voice features Automatic assignment of voice traffic to separate VLANs (“auto-voice VLAN”), advancedvoice QoS, traffic limiting, multicast filtering and PoE support delivers the supportnecessary for quality voice communications.Fiber uplink Achieve greater distance connectivity using gigabit fiber uplinks.Flexible Gigabit uplinks Daisychain multiple units together via the built-in copper Gigabit uplink ports or connectto a network backbone via SFP-based fiber modules.PoE support (PWR model only) Provides power for IP phones, wireless LAN access points, and other IEEE 802.3af-compliant devices over the same cable used for data; lowers total cost of ownership sincethere is no need to run additional electrical wiring. Note: pre-std PoE Plus is alsosupported allowing the switch to deliver up to 30W of power.SecurityIEEE 802.1X network access control Provides standards-based security combined with local authentication.Advanced Access Control Lists (ACLs) MAC- and IP-based ACLs enable network traffic filtering and enhance network control.Time based ACLs allow for greater flexibiliy with managing network access.Traffic monitoring (port mirroring) Administrators can examine suspect data streams received on any port by mirroring thedata stream to a monitoring port.Configuration and managementEnhanced browser-based interface Graphical user interface allows even the most novice users to configure the switch duringinitial setup and monitor it during normal operation.SNMP support Switch can be managed with 3Com IMC, Network Supervisor, Network Director and otherSNMP-compatible tools.PoE configuration PoE power can be enabled or disabled per unit and per port; power can also be limitedper port.Cable diagnostics Remotely detect copper cable issues using a browser-based tool.
