SWITCH 8800 FAMILY
Highly flexible, resilient architecture for end-to-end enterprise
deployment in the core, data center, distribution layer and network edge.
High-density multilayer switching for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet.
Up to 576 Gigabit or 48 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports.
1.44 Tbps system bandwidth; up to 856 Mpps switching capacity.
Advanced traffic prioritization and routing of multicast traffic in
hardware for convergent applications including voice over IP,
streaming audio and video.
Virtually non-stop operation with redundant power supplies, fans and
switch fabrics, as well as hot-swappable switching I/O modules.
Robust network access control and enterprise-wide security via
standards-based IEEE 802.1X, RADIUS authentication and advanced
Access Control Lists, as well as authentication and encryption of
management traffic.
Industry-standard Power over Ethernet to power IP phones, wireless
access points and other devices; reduces implementation and
maintenance costs.
Unifies management and administration with a common operating
system and centralized control available via 3Com Enterprise
Management Suite.
Granular QoS and traffic management for enhanced availability and
performance of critical business applications.
Extensive L2/3/4 switching and routing capability, including advanced
features
*
like IS-IS, BGP-4, MBGP, MPLS, and VPLS, applicable in very
large enterprises.
Specialized application modules for enhanced security, network
analysis and Layer 2 Ethernet VPN enable the flexibility to integrate
major capabilities as the network evolves.
Extensive IPv6 feature suite
◊
with support for full IPv6 addressing and
routing, and transition mechanisms such as dual stack and tunneling.
IPv6 can be supported on all existing I/O modules using “Centralized
Mode”, preserving previous investment in those modules.
