Low-Cost, Configurable, Power over Ethernet, 10/100 Switch
for Convergence Applications
The 3Com® Baseline Switch 2226-PWR Plus is the second member in
the family of premium Baseline Plus switches that deliver
enterprise-class solutions, customized and priced for small and
mid-sized organizations. Full IEEE 802.3af-compliant Power over
Ethernet (PoE) support on all ports enable businesses to grow
and expand both LAN and WLANs with a minimum network disruption
and without the need for power cable runs.
The switch is designed to support emerging LAN, VoIP, IP
telephony, WLAN convergence applications today. Choice of QoS
traffic prioritization with automatic NBX voice traffic
prioritization, make sure mission-critical and real-time
applications run effectively enabling the switch to operate in
larger networks. The switch supports up to 64 Virtual LAN (VLANs):
VLANs group users based on data exchange requirements to ensure
optimal use of available bandwidth. Traffic monitoring helps
keep the network running at optimum performance even during busy
traffic periods. Wirespeed, non-blocking Layer 2 throughput and
a switching capacity of up to 8.8 Gbps can handle
bandwidth-intensive applications.
Twenty-four 10/100 ports and two dual-purpose Gigabit SFP slots
can be used for high-performance computers, as well as
high-demand servers; copper and SFP fiber connections can be
mixed together for versatile operation. Ports can be trunked/aggregated,
to create an ultra-high bandwidth pipe to the network core.
A user-friendly browser interface enables even network novices
to easily configure and administer the network. Auto MDI/MDIX
and autosensing ports eliminates the most common cabling errors
and simplifies installation, as well as detecting and adjusting
the speed of connected devices to optimize network performance.
The switch can operate as a free-standing or rack-mounted unit
with included mounting kit. The standard 19-inch, one
rack-unit-high (1 RU) enclosure optimizes valuable office space.
Sturdy design and construction pays off in high reliability and
long service life. Limited Lifetime hardware warranty and
advance hardware replacement provide peace of mind long after
deployment. |

All port support for Power over Ethernet as per IEEE 802.3af
Twenty-four 10/100 ports support high-speed connections for
demanding desktop applications, servers, network aggregation,
and uplinks to the network core
Two dual-purpose Gigabit ports support copper or multimode
shortwave fiber (1000BASE-SX) or multimode longwave fiber
(1000BASE-LX) connections
Link aggregation combines any number of ports of any media
to create up to four ultra-high-speed trunks, with up to eight
ports per trunk, substantially increasing bandwidth to the
network backbone or other switches
VLANs (up to 64) enable administrators to group users based
on data or traffic requirements to ensure that traffic flow is
directed according to priority business needs
Traffic monitoring or port mirroring aids troubleshooting by
enabling administrators to examine suspect data streams by
mirroring the data stream received to a monitoring port
Automatic NBX traffic prioritization detects and prioritizes
NBX traffic without user intervention
Choice of methods for traffic prioritization including
standards-based IEEE 802.1p , MAC address based and Port based
(two queues per port) traffic prioritization enable networks to
effectively run real-time multimedia applications, reserving
bandwidth for time-sensitive, mission-critical traffic
Intuitive web browser interface makes it easy to set up and
administer the network
Power over Ethernet configuration options give flexibility
to converged networks enabling, disabling or limiting power per
unit and per port
Non-blocking performance operates at full wirespeed on all
ports, delivering unimpeded access to network resources
One Rack Unit (1RU) form factor optimizes rack space
