DATA SHEET 3Com® SuperStack® 3 Switch 4400 Family Enterprise class manageable 10/100 layer 2/4 switches. Available in 24 and 48-port models with Gigabit connectivity, these switches provide resiliancy, flexibility, plus advanced security and traffic control features. OVERVIEW The award-winning 3Com® SuperStack® 3 Switch 4400 family switches provide wirespeed 10/100 Fast Ethernet connectivity with a choice of Gigabit downlinks and are specifically designed for Enterprise workgroup environments. Available in 24 and 48-port models covering important network interface types including Power over Ethernet(PoE), and 100BASE-LX10, with two Gigabit module slots on every unit, these switches display resiliency, flexibility in deployment, and advanced security features. The SuperStack 3 Switch 4400 Family also boasts advanced Quality of Service features that can reduce the latency of packets through the network, with specific traffic prioritization improving the delivery of converged data such as voice and high quality video over IP. Supported by 3Com Global Services and 3Com's outstanding Limited Lifetime Warranty, these switches are ideal for enterprises wanting flexible, resiliant, manageable and secure networks. KEY BENEFITS ADVANCED SECURITY The Switch 4400 family provides advanced security features for network data and management traffic. User network login with IEEE 802.1X and RADIUS, combined with RADIUS Authenticated Device Access (RADA), provides secure flexible network access control at the edge of the network. Local authentication for up to 50 IEEE 802.1X users and RADA devices offers added flexibility in the absence of a centralized RADIUS server, and supplies a backup solution in case of server failure or connectivity issues. Authenticated users can be placed automatically into a specific VLAN, creating an even more secure network environment. The Private Ports feature can isolate edge ports to ensure user privacy. Access Control Lists (ACLs) allow or deny traffic based on specific subnet, or individual IP address. SNMP v3 secure encrypted management, Secure Shell (SSH), management VLAN, and management station "trusted IP address" lists help protect the network from rogue management threats. RESILIANT NETWORKING Hot-swappable stacking of up to eight units, or 384 10/100 ports, allows for scalable site expansion with continuous operation. Stack-wide link aggregation (LACP) enables high-performance connectivity of up to 4Gbps to the core of the network in a single aggregated link, with ports on different units for added resiliency to maximize network availability. 1
