OVERVIEW
The smart” voice-ready 3Com
®
Baseline Switch 2426-PWR Plus
is a web-managed Layer 2 10/100 Ethernet switch that delivers
enterprise-class features, customized and priced for small- and mid-sized
organizations. With an easy-to-use switch interface and advanced
features (VLANs, IEEE 802.1X authentication and Rapid Spanning
Tree), twenty-four 10/100 and two dual-purpose Gigabit ports, and
Power over Ethernet (PoE), the Baseline Switch 2426-PWR Plus is the
most cost-effective way to provide a converged network.
KEY BENEFITS
LAYER 2 SWITCHING WITH ADVANCED FEATURES
The Baseline Switch 2426-PWR Plus has twenty-four PoE-enabled 10/100
and two dual-purpose Gigabit ports (copper or SFP-based fiber) to
connect to high-performance computers, servers, or network backbones.
The switch provides non-blocking performance—all ports perform at
wirespeed which helps to eliminate network traffic bottlenecks. Manual
link aggregation allows ports to be grouped together to form an ultra-
high-bandwidth connection that greatly expands bandwidth capacity
to the network core.
This “smart” switch has the features that help build a voice ready
network, with support for auto-voice VLAN, SNMP-based management,
IGMP snooping and query and IEEE 802.1X for strengthening security.
The Baseline Switch 2426-PWR Plus also supports Spanning Tree and
Rapid Spanning Tree, traffic prioritization, priority queuing and VLANs.
These switching features ensure optimal use of available bandwidth as
traffic flow is directed according to the needs of the business.
POWER OVER ETHERNET
The Baseline Switch 2426-PWR Plus provides a total of 180 watts inline
power to attached devices—access points, Voice over IP (VoIP) phones,
IP security cameras, etc.—over a single Ethernet cable, resulting in
significant deployment cost savings. Industry-standard IEEE 802.3af
Power over Ethernet with 15.4 Watts of power is supported, as is the
newer pre-standard 802.3at with up to 29.6 Watts per port.
NO SWITCH SETUP REQUIRED
This Baseline Plus switch is operational straight out-of-the-box; as long
as default settings are acceptable, there is no need to configure the
switch. If desired, the switch can be configured using a web browser
or SNMP management software.
