raw bandwidth of Gigabit Ethernet,ATM provides alternative methods fordelivering effective backbone solutions,such as Quality of Service (QoS), whichguarantees bandwidth to applications.The control offered by ATM enables the deterministic delivery of applicationsand services in complex networkenvironments.

Layer 3 Switching

Intranets and extranets, while provingindispensable for companies of all sizes,are also causing new traffic managementproblems. Hypertext links betweenservers and e-mails create any-to-anytraffic that are overwhelming legacyLAN routers. As a result, companies areexperiencing more bottlenecks betweensubnetworks. Layer 3 switching solvesthese intranet bottleneck problems byembedding classical routing in theswitch hardware that routes traffic athigh speeds while intelligently isolatingfaults, containing broadcast traffic, andproviding seamless subnet/VLANconnections.

SuperStack II Switches for All Your Technology NeedsToday, your desktop population probably requires a mix of 10 Mbps and100 Mbps service to meet the individualdemands of your users. As you deliverhigher speeds to the desktop, serverconnections may become strained, so youneed options to scale to Fast Ethernet,Gigabit Ethernet, or ATM for high-speeddesktop and server connections as well asin the backbone. With the SuperStack IIfamily of switches, you can support all of your bandwidth requirements with the appropriate technology and theappropriate level of control.

Ethernet

Today, Ethernet is the most populartopology for implementing local areanetworks. Ethernet provides bandwidththat can be either shared across a numberof users using hubs, or dedicated toworkstations using switched technology.The availability of low-cost Ethernetswitches has also made it possible todeliver dedicated 10 Mbps full-duplexlinks to the desktop, for affordable high-performance, high-functionality, andhighly manageable networks.

Fast Ethernet

Fast Ethernet, based on the Ethernetstandard, is a high-speed technology thatruns over your existing infrastructure,works with your existing managementsystems, and requires no retraining byyour IT staff. Fast Ethernet is one of themost popular high-speed technologiesbecause it’s cost effective, stable, andcompatible with existing Ethernet LANenvironments. Fast Ethernet runs overfiber and copper. For greater perfor-mance, full-duplex is also supported.

10/100 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet

10/100 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet withautosensing capability is one of themost economical and flexible ways toadd bandwidth immediately—whilemaintaining migration options tohigher bandwidth in the future. 10/100technology combines conventional10BASE-T and high-speed 100BASE-TX support in one device, deliveringhigher bandwidth to the desktop,aggregating 10/100 hubs, andmaintaining the status quo for thosewho are efficiently served by 10 MbpsEthernet. With 10/100 autosensingfunctionality, there is no need to

configure individual switched ports.The switch automatically senses thespeed of the connected end device(either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) andchannels the data through at theappropriate speed.

Gigabit Ethernet

Gigabit Ethernet retains the traditionalsimplicity and manageability of Ethernet and Fast Ethernet, making iteasy to integrate with existing LANequipment. It allows a tenfold increasein backbone bandwidth over Fast Ethernet with minimal impact on support staff. The extra bandwidthhelps you deal with unplanned changesand additions to the network, and frees you from constantly tuning thenetwork. Gigabit Ethernet is a powerfulbackbone/server solution because itdelivers phenomenal bandwidth costeffectively, preserves the Ethernet frameformat, and works with your existingtraffic management systems.

ATM

ATM is an established LAN backbonetechnology that offers significantbenefits to larger organizations byproviding tight integration betweenLAN and WAN environments andoffering high levels of resilience andredundancy. In the LAN environment,OC-3c (155 Mbps) and OC-12c (622 Mbps) connections are used tocommunicate across the network. Whilethese connections do not provide the

Features

Stackability

Four SuperStack II Switch 1100 orSwitch 3300 units can be interconnectedto form a stack that offers unrivaled performance and management features.

Each unit has a built-in connector atthe rear of the unit called the matrixport. Two units can be connected back-to-back with a SuperStack II Switchmatrix cable. To connect more than twounits, a SuperStack II matrix module canbe inserted into the high-speed moduleslot of one of the units in the stack, anda matrix cable can be used to connect toeach switch in the stack.

Stacking provides the user with aplethora of benefits. These include theability to manage in excess of 100 portsas a single logical entity. Configurationis therefore faster and simpler. Stackingalso provides the user with the optionalresilient IP addresses across the stack.Thus if a failure should occur, theresilient IP address can be used formanagement stacking using the SuperStack II Switch matrix moduleand cable, keeping front panel ports free and increasing the number ofmatrix ports in an aggregated system.

the time required for problem determi-nation and resolution and maximizesswitch uptime, thereby lowering yourcost of ownership.

RMON support

Transcend software’s powerful combi-nation of RMON (Remote Monitoring,a superset of SNMP MIB II) andembedded SmartAgent software reducesthe processing burden on your manage-ment station, minimizes network traffic,and saves time by automatically moni-toring and analyzing your network.RMON tells you at a glance how thenetwork is performing and who is usingit the most. And Transcend softwaregives you the added benefit of RMONfeatures in your network without theprocessing and memory costs usuallyassociated with RMON. See the At-a-Glance RMON Support table onpage 24 for details on RMON groupssupported by SuperStack II switches.

Class of Service (CoS)

CoS can be defined simply as a methodfor prioritizing various traffic types.3Com switches can support two methodsof enabling CoS on Ethernet networks.The first method is IEEE 802.1D (incorporating 802.1p), which enableseight levels of prioritization; and thesecond method is 3Com’s innovativePACE® technology, which allows theuser to specify certain applications ashigh priority. A hardware feature, dualqueues, is used to exploit these trafficprioritization schemes; the dual queuesfunction—required for CoS—will

VLANs

VLANs allow PCs, workstations, andother resources, including printers andfile servers, to be organized into logical,broadcast domains so that only deviceswithin the same domain can commu-nicate with each other. 3Com switchesallow users to implement VLANs ontheir network using one of two schemes:IEEE 802.1Q, including GVRP, whichenables the auto-learning of VLANs, or3Com’s VLT. Both methods allow for theconfiguration of VLANs based on portsand/or MAC addresses for maximumflexibility and security. For 802.1QVLANs, a port on a switch can beassigned to a VLAN; all other switcheslearn about that VLAN when theswitches automatically communicate thatknowledge via the GVRP protocol.

Switches supporting both VLANschemes can be used to provide seamlessmigration from VLT to IEEE 802.1Qenvironments that preserve investment in current LAN developments andequipment.

Layer 3 Support

Multicast filtering using IGMP

snooping

Multicast filtering enables the automaticconfiguration of filters for IP multicasttraffic, such as video and audio broad-casts, allowing advanced multimediaapplications to be delivered easily to theworkgroup.

Fast IP

Fast IP is 3Com’s standards-based cut-through routing solution for all types of legacy routing network backbones.This reduces traffic flow through routerbottlenecks and maximizes performanceby utilizing the switched infrastructure.

Layer 3 switching

Layer 3 switching is the implementationof routing protocols in leading-edgeASIC technology. Routing performanceis dramatically and cost effectivelyboosted to enable the widespreaddeployment of intranets (IP-basednetworking).

automatically enable a second portbuffer for high-priority traffic therebyallowing the traffic to bypass lower pri-ority data for faster processing withinthe switch.

Traffic Management

Flow control

Flow control is an essential switchfeature that eliminates dropped packetson congested ports. To provide switchapplication flexibility, 3Com switchessupport flow control schemes suited toboth full- and half-duplex environments.Intelligent Flow Management (IFM) is a solution designed to work in halfduplex, for example, a hub aggregationapplication. A solution using IEEE802.3x is also supported and designedfor full-duplex connections, such asdesktop switching; this method of flowcontrol is set automatically using theautosensing features of SuperStack IIswitches.

Broadcast traffic control

Traditional Ethernet switches suffer fromthe threat of broadcast storms that canpotentially bring networks to a halt.However, all SuperStack II switches can be configured with broadcast stormprotection to limit the number ofbroadcast packets allowed to beforwarded by each port. This allows theSuperStack II switches to offer thesecurity of broadcast storm protectionnormally associated with a router whilealso providing the protocol independenceof a switch.

Network Availability

Backup power supplies

3Com gives you all the choices youneed to ensure constant power to yourstackable switches. Both the AdvancedRedundant Power System (ARPS) andthe Uninterruptible Power System(UPS) work with any SuperStack IIswitch. The ARPS is ideally suited as abackup for individual power supplies inthe SuperStack II units. The UPS fullyprotects your SuperStack II systemfrom the effects of brownouts or spikesthat occur in outside power lines.

Resilient links

3Com’s simple and flexible resilientlinks technology ensures fault tolerancevia redundant connections to othernetwork devices.

Spanning tree

Support for the industry-standardIEEE 802.1D spanning tree protocol isprovided as an alternative to resilientlinks. This protects against networkloops and can be used to provideredundant network paths.

Port trunking

Port trunking establishes backbonelinks by treating multiple parallel linksas a single network pipe. Trunking alsoprovides link redundancy; traffic onany failed link comprising a networktrunk automatically switches over tothe other links in the trunk.

SuperStack II Switch 1100/3300 Family for Ethernet, 10/100 Fast Ethernet, and Fiber Switching

Companies today realize that thebooming e-business marketplace is pro-viding them with amazing growthopportunities. To take advantage ofthese opportunities and sustain thisgrowth, IT managers must find a wayto boost network performance in synchwith their evolving e-business require-ments. 3Com has developed a family ofmodular, stackable switches designed tohelp fast-growing companies add powerand performance to their networkseasily, economically, and with min-imum disruption.

The SuperStack II Switch1100/3300 family includes four high-performance switches that can bemixed and matched to achieve the per-fect combination of cost and featuresfor desktop, workgroup, and backboneaggregation. This is the first family ofswitches that enables IT managers tocreate a “virtual stack” of differentswitches that act as one logicalswitch—providing an easy and afford-able way to build performance andcapabilities into the network as needed.

Each switch has a built-in matrixport connector at the rear of the unit.Two units can be connected with alow-cost SuperStack II Switch matrixcable; three or more units can bestacked using a SuperStack II Switchmatrix module that delivers high-speed/performance interswitch links—eliminating bottlenecks betweenswitches. Stacked switches communi-cate through matrix ports, so you don’tconsume valuable Fast Ethernet orGigabit Ethernet ports. You can mixand match multiple switches to createone virtual switch of up to 110

switched ports that is manageable as asingle entity with a single IP address(note: multiple IP addresses can be sup-ported to provide resilient stackmanagement).

To make management even easier,the SuperStack II 1100/3300 familyfeatures Web-based monitoring andcontrol, so IT staff can troubleshoot orconfigure a stack from any location.Embedded Remote Monitoring(RMON) support provides detailedinformation on network traffic. Theswitches also ship with 3Com Transcend Network Supervisor, an easyand automatic management solutionspecifically designed for small- andmedium-sized businesses.

For added reliability, the switchessupport resilient links and spanningtree, as well as optional redundantpower supplies.

In addition to this easy mix-and-match scalability, the SuperStack IISwitch 1100/3300 family supports abroad range of expansion modules(such as Layer 3 switching, GigabitEthernet, or ATM support) to add con-nectivity or functionality as needed.

What’s more, all four models sharethe same software, reducing trainingtime and ensuring flawless interoper-ability. Companies can even bolstertheir e-business initiatives by addingvoice and video to their networks witha rich traffic management feature set,including:• Policy enforcement with Fast IP,

IGMP snooping, IEEE 802.1D(incorporating 802.1p prioritiza-tion), and IEEE 802.1Qstandards-based VLANs

• Dual queues to help prioritize multi-media traffic

• Multicast filtering using IGMPsnooping/GMRP for more efficientbandwidth utilization when trans-porting video traffic

• Elastic port buffering for on-the-flyport buffer memory allocation,enabling automatic performanceoptimization based on networktraffic

• Flow control to maximize perfor-mance and minimize packet lossunder heavy network loading

• Automatic detection of full-/half-duplex operation on all ports tomaximize performance withoutmanual configuration

• Trunking support to aggregate linksinto a single high-speed connectionto other switches or backbone net-works

• Optional Layer 3 switching toincrease network performance byoff-loading legacy routers and con-trolling broadcast/multimedia traffic
