3 SWITCH 4924 AND SUPERSTACK 3 SWITCH 4950 DATA SHEET
Enjoy next-generation Gigabit
switching performance in the data
center or desktop with the
SuperStack 3 Switch 4924 and Switch
4950. The SuperStack 3 Switch 4924
and Switch 4950 are based on a
3Com-developed advanced switching
ASIC architecture, which delivers 56
Gbps switching performance for
demanding enterprise applications.
Each switch delivers non-blocking
Layer 2 and Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet
switching across a maximum of 28
Gigabit ports, forwarding at speeds in
excess of 41 Mpps with zero packet
loss.
In addition, like the rest of the
Superstack 3 Switch 4900 family,
the Switch 4924 and Switch 4950 also
provide an expansion slot designed
to accommodate a diverse variety of
Gigabit media using the Switch 4900
family expansion modules and
3Com GBICs.
Part of the SuperStack 3 Switch 4900
family, both switches provide support
for Layer 3 switching for IP networks,
enabling a wide array of services,

Auto-MDIX and Smart Autosensing.
The SuperStack 3 Switch 4924 and
Switch 4950 also supports transparent
webcache redirection to the SuperStack
3 Webcache appliances, for more effi-
cient use of Internet bandwidth and
enhanced web performance.
Their unique combination of perfor-
mance, flexibility, and features set
new standards for Gigabit Ethernet
switching, enabling you to alleviate
performance bottlenecks across the
infrastructure, and enjoy network
control through rich Layer 2 and
Layer 3 switching—without
compromise.
