3Com Switch 4500G, 24 Ports Layer 3 Switch Features
Advanced access and distribution for medium businesses and small enterprises seeking to build a secure converged network
24 auto-negotiating 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T ports supporting IEEE 802.3af in-line PoE; 4 of these ports are dual-personality 10/100/1000 or SFP Gigabit ports
Wirespeed non-blocking performance: aggregate switching capacity of up to 128 Gbps
Use clustered stacking for up to 32 devices (Switch 4200G, 4500G 5500 and 5500G switches)
Add switches to the cluster when needed— without increasing management difficulty and expense— and manage all as a single entity
IEEE 802.1X network access control offers standards-based security combined with RADIUS authentication; TACACS+ also supported
RADIUS Authenticated Device Access (RADA) provides authentication of attached devices via MAC address for an additional level of endpoint security
Automatic assignment of VoIP traffic to dedicated VLANs helps ensure that critical time-sensitive traffic gets the priority needed for quality communications
Power over Ethernet delivers electrical power and data connectivity over a single Ethernet cable
Up to four 10-Gigabit ports per switch using two rear slots and dual-port 10-Gigabit modules; economical CX4 for short-distance stack connections, or XFP for longer 10-Gigabit distances
Supports dual-mode Fast Ethernet SFPs— 100BASE-FX and 100BASE-LX10— for flexible fiber connectivity
