Features
StackabilityFour SuperStack II Switch 1100 orSwitch 3300 units can be interconnectedto form a stack that offers unrivaled performance and management features.
Each unit has a built-in connector atthe rear of the unit called the matrixport. Two units can be connected back-to-back with a SuperStack II Switchmatrix cable. To connect more than twounits, a SuperStack II matrix module canbe inserted into the high-speed moduleslot of one of the units in the stack, anda matrix cable can be used to connect toeach switch in the stack.
Stacking provides the user with aplethora of benefits. These include theability to manage in excess of 100 portsas a single logical entity. Configurationis therefore faster and simpler. Stackingalso provides the user with the optionalresilient IP addresses across the stack.Thus if a failure should occur, theresilient IP address can be used formanagement stacking using the Super-Stack II Switch matrix module andcable, keeping front panel ports free andincreasing the number of matrix portsin an aggregated system.

Management
Transcend network management
All SuperStack II switches are managedby 3Com’s Transcend network manage-ment and control solutions. Transcendsolutions give you end-to-end visibilityand control over all devices in yournetwork with two levels of management:1) technologies, such as embeddedSmartAgent® software and RMON,within 3Com devices throughout thenetwork, and 2) centralized highlyautomated applications at the networkcenter for monitoring, configuring, andtroubleshooting all devices in the network.
Web-based management
Manage your switches with any Webbrowser, either through direct or dial-upconnection or across the LAN. Thisdelivers ease of use and accessibility tonetwork management personnel andreduces in-service costs, but still withfull security.
Security—Disconnect Unauthorized
Device (DUD)
LAN security architecture with DUDautomatically disconnects unauthorizeddevices from the LAN.
Roving Analysis Port (RAP)
RAP allows a network analyzer attachedto any unit in a stack to monitor any ofthe switch ports or virtual LANs(VLANs) in the stack. It also minimizesthe time required for problem determi-nation and resolution and maximizesswitch uptime, thereby lowering yourcost of ownership.
RMON support
Transcend software’s powerful combi-nation of RMON (Remote Monitoring,a superset of SNMP MIB II) andembedded SmartAgent software reducesthe processing burden on your manage-ment station, minimizes network traffic,and saves time by automatically moni-toring and analyzing your network.RMON tells you at a glance how thenetwork is performing and who is usingit the most. And Transcend softwaregives you the added benefit of RMONfeatures in your network without theprocessing and memory costs usuallyassociated with RMON. See the At-a-Glance RMON Support table onpage 22 for details on RMON groupssupported by SuperStack II switches.
Class of Service (CoS)CoS can be defined simply as a methodfor prioritizing various traffic types.3Com switches can support two methodsof enabling CoS on Ethernet networks.The first method is IEEE 802.1D (incorporating 802.1p), which enableseight levels of prioritization; and thesecond method is 3Com’s innovativePACE® technology, which allows theuser to specify certain applications ashigh priority. A hardware feature, dualqueues, is used to exploit these trafficprioritization schemes; the dual queuesfunction—required for CoS—will auto-matically enable a second port bufferfor high-priority traffic thereby allowingthe traffic to bypass lower priority datafor faster processing within the switch.

VLANs VLANs allow PCs, workstations, andother resources, including printers andfile servers, to be organized into logical,broadcast domains so that only deviceswithin the same domain can commu-nicate with each other. 3Com switchesallow users to implement VLANs ontheir network using one of two schemes:IEEE 802.1Q, including GVRP, whichenables the auto-learning of VLANs, or3Com’s VLT. Both methods allow for theconfiguration of VLANs based on portsand/or MAC addresses for maximumflexibility and security. For 802.1QVLANs, a port on a switch can beassigned to a VLAN; all other switcheslearn about that VLAN when theswitches automatically communicate thatknowledge via the GVRP protocol.
Switches supporting both VLANschemes can be used to provide seamlessmigration from VLT to IEEE 802.1Qenvironments that preserve investment in current LAN developments andequipment.
Layer 3 Support
Multicast filtering using IGMP
snooping
Multicast filtering enables the automaticconfiguration of filters for IP multicasttraffic, such as video and audio broad-casts, allowing advanced multimediaapplications to be delivered easily to theworkgroup.
Fast IP
Fast IP is 3Com’s standards-based cut-through routing solution for all types of legacy routing network backbones.This reduces traffic flow through routerbottlenecks and maximizes performanceby utilizing the switched infrastructure.
Layer 3 Switching
Layer 3 switching is the implementationof routing protocols in leading-edgeASIC technology. Routing performanceis dramatically and cost effectivelyboosted to enable the widespreaddeployment of intranets (IP-basednetworking).
Traffic Management
Flow control
Flow control is an essential switchfeature that eliminates dropped packetson congested ports. To provide switchapplication flexibility, 3Com switchessupport flow control schemes suited toboth full- and half-duplex environments.Intelligent Flow Management (IFM) is a solution designed to work in halfduplex, for example, a hub aggregationapplication. A solution using IEEE802.3x is also supported and designedfor full-duplex connections, such asdesktop switching; this method of flowcontrol is set automatically using theauto-sensing features of SuperStack IIswitches.
Broadcast traffic control
Traditional Ethernet switches suffer fromthe threat of broadcast storms that canpotentially bring networks to a halt.However, all SuperStack II switches can be configured with broadcast stormprotection to limit the number ofbroadcast packets allowed to beforwarded by each port. This allows theSuperStack II switches to offer thesecurity of broadcast storm protectionnormally associated with a router whilealso providing the protocol independenceof a switch.
Network Availability
Backup power supplies
3Com gives you all the choices youneed to ensure constant power to yourstackable switches. Both the ARPS andthe UPS work with any SuperStack IIswitch. The ARPS is ideally suited as abackup for individual power supplies inthe SuperStack II units. The UPS fullyprotects your SuperStack II systemfrom the effects of brownouts or spikesthat occur in outside power lines.
Resilient links
3Com’s simple and flexible resilientlinks technology ensures fault tolerancevia redundant connections to othernetwork devices.
Spanning tree
Support for the industry-standardIEEE 802.1D (incorporating 802.1p)spanning tree protocol is provided asan alternative to resilient links. Thisprotects against network loops and can be used to provide redundantnetwork paths.
Port trunking
Port trunking establishes backbonelinks by treating multiple parallel linksas a single network pipe. Trunking alsoprovides link redundancy; traffic onany failed link comprising a networktrunk automatically switches over tothe other links in the trunk.
