Features & Benefits

High-Density, Stackable 10/100 Switching

Deploy high-performance, feature-rich Ethernet LAN switching with high port density. This affordable, intelligent 10/100 switch is fully manageable, making it a good choice for networks of any size.

The 3Com® SuperStack® 3 Switch 4400 also helps increase network availability and reliability. The switch optimizes and controls data flow through the use of advanced quality of service, helping to ensure that mission-critical traffic reaches the intended users every time.

Rapid Spanning Tree, stack-wide trunking, resilient stacking, link aggregation and built-in redundant power supply support deliver robust performance and fault tolerance.

Optional switching modules provide resilient high-speed connections such as Fast Ethernet, including 100BASE-LX (Ethernet in the First Mile), and Gigabit Ethernet copper or fiber links.

• User network login with IEEE 802.1X and RADIUS, combined with RADIUS Authenticated Device Access (RADA), based on MAC address, provide secure network access control at the network edge
• Authenticated users can be automatically placed into a specific VLAN, restricting access only to the data needed
• Secure Shell (SSH) encryption of login passwords, management VLANs, and management station "trusted IP address" lists help protect network from rogue management threats
• LACP (IEEE 802.3ad) intelligently detects configuration duplicity and uses it to trunk up to 4Gb of bandwidth across a stack, while nullifying single points of failure from the network's edge infrastructure
• Advanced Layer 4 functionality identifies and prioritizes real-time or business-critical applications such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, LAN telephony, and video streaming
• Add optional switching modules to provide resilient high-speed connections, such as Gigabit Ethernet backbone links, or 100BASE-LX 10 links for Ethernet in First Mile over Point to Point Fiber (EFMF)
• Backup and restore functionality enables switch configurations to be captured and reapplied individually to a single switch or across a whole network at a push of a button
• Forwarding up to 10.1 million pps, with a massive switching fabric of 13.6 Gbps, provides industry-leading performance
• Mix and match 24-port and 48-port SuperStack 3 Switch 4400s to create a resilient stack of up to a total of 384 10/100 connections
• Stackable architecture increases scalability and allows high-speed trunks between workgroup and other resources
• 3Com Network Supervisor 3.0 software (60-day trial included) supports automatic prioritization of real-time or critical traffic
• Resilient hot-swappable stacking and network connections enhance network availability and usability
