3com Baseline Switch 2250 Plus gemanaged L2

Affordable, Web-managed 10/100 Ethernet Switching with Gigabit Uplinks.
The “smart”, web-configurable 3Com® Baseline Switch 2250 Plus delivers enterprise-class features, customized and priced for small and mid-sized organizations. The switch offers forty-eight 10/100 ports and two dual-purpose ports for high-performance computer, high-demand server, or core network backbones connections, using either copper Gigabit uplinks or SFP-based slots for Gigabit fiber. QoS and VLAN features support scalability and business-critical applications by ensuring optimal use of available bandwidth, directing traffic flow according to the needs of the business. Ports can be trunked or aggregated to create an ultra-high-bandwidth pipe to the network core or other switches.

A user-friendly browser interface provides easy-to-use tools so that even network novices can easily configure and administer the network, configure individual port speeds VLANs, link aggregation, and traffic prioritization, and keep an eye on network traffic and statistics. All 3Com networking products go through vigorous testing to ensure top reliability. A proven reputation for quality is backed by an industry-leading support package with a Limited Lifetime hardware warranty and worldwide next-business-day advance hardware replacement.

Features:

- Forty-eight 10/100 ports and two dual-purpose ports support high-performance connections using either copper Gigabit uplinks or SFP-based slots for Gigabit fiber.

- Extremely easy-to-use browser-based user interface allows even the most novice users to configure the switch during initial setup or normal operation.

- Support for up to 255 VLANs allows administrators to segment the network by grouping users based on data or traffic exchange requirements for optimal use of available bandwidth.

- Link aggregation (trunking) consolidates any number of copper or fiber ports into an ultra-high bandwidth pipe connecting the switch to prevent traffic bottlenecks; the switch supports up to four trunks with up to eight ports per trunk.

- Traffic monitoring (port mirroring) enables administrators to examine suspect data streams received on any port by mirroring the data stream to a monitoring port.
