3Com Router 6000 Family

Overview

DATA SHEET

The 3Com

®

Router 6000 family offers

flexible, feature-rich resilient routing,

from the core to the edge of a secure

converged network, delivering WAN

connectivity at a competitive value. A

convenient hot-swappable modular design

allows easy installation and maintenance

and flexible expansion options. These

routers integrate seamlessly into existing

networks to facilitate keeping pace with

rapidly changing business needs.

Organizations gain easily managed, robust

networks for reliable support of their key

business applications.

Flexible and Resilient Design

The Router 6000 family offers an attractive

network solution for enterprises wanting

to maximize throughput and resiliency

from the core to the edge. The flexible

modular design of the 3Com Router 6040

and Router 6080 offers multiple configura-

tion options with a variety of LAN and

WAN interfaces that adhere to strict

industry specifications. Interface modules,

known as Flexible Interface Cards (FICs),

provide LAN and WAN support for high-

speed serial, T1/E1, T3/E3, ISDN PRI,

asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), and

asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL),

as well as a variety of Ethernet options.

The Router 6040 is housed in a 3U chassis

with four FIC slots; the Router 6080 comes

in a 5U chassis with eight FIC slots for

maximum flexibility and growth. For

maximum uptime, both routers offer two

embedded 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports,

hot-swappable FIC, and fan and power

supply modules. Powering down the

router is not necessary when changing

these components.

Feature-Rich, Full Routing

The Router 6000 family helps enhance

ROI—protecting the purchase investment

and eliminating hidden upgrade costs by

providing maximum operating memory, a

complete routing and security suite, and

robust applications set. The router is

designed to meet present and future needs

without system memory or software

upgrade purchases; no late-night upgrades

or unplanned downtime are needed.

The routers include the full complement of

SDRAM and FLASH memory* to support

dual software images. This feature assists

in recovery and provides rollback capabili-

ties. Also included as standard are: IP and

IPX Routing, OSPF, RIP V1/2, integrated

IS-IS, multicast routing, Quality of Service

(QoS), IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, IGMP v1, 2

and 3, stateful packet inspection firewall,

IPSec, BGP-4, and MPLS VPN.

Verified Interoperability

The 3Com Router 6000 family is “Tolly

Verified for Interoperability with Cisco

‡

”

and Tolly Verified for redundancy. This

functionality can reduce implementation

and testing time, as the question of multi-

vendor interoperability and router

resilience has been removed.

* Routers 6040 and 6080 supplied with currently available maximum of 512MB SDRAM.
