DATA SHEET 3Com Switch 4050 and Switch 4060 (R) Key Benefits XRN Technology Layer 3 Switching 3Com XRNTM (eXpandable Resilient Networking) technology allows implementation of high availability configurations using two interconnected Switch 4050s or Switch 4060s, scaling the backbone to 48 wirespeed Gigabit Layer 3 switching ports. Layer 3 switching capabilities such as support for IP unicast routing using static routes, RIP/RIPv2, CIDR, and UDP Helper, enhance performance, provide network control and security, and enable logical network segmentation. Advanced Security Capabilities 3Com's custom ASIC architecture delivers 56 Gbps of multilayer switching capacity, provides wirespeed performance across all ports, with a forwarding rate of more than 40 Mpps, minimizing network congestion. Security features such as Radius client support and Routed Access Control Lists ensure authorized user access to network resources. Application Filtering enables the switch to identify and discard unauthorized applications from consuming network bandwidth. Reliable and Serviceable Hardware Powerful Management A durable, 2RU metal chassis offers high availability hardware features such as redundant, load sharing and hot-swappable power supplies, in addition to hot-swappable fan trays and GBIC transceivers. 3Com Network Supervisor (trial copy included) discovers, maps, monitors, and issues alerts for easy network administration. An intuitive interface eases network-wide setup of switch traffic prioritization. The 3Com Network Supervisor Advanced Package (separately sold) provides advanced configuration capabilities such as bulk software upgrades. Performance High Availability Features High availability software and management features, including Link Aggregation, Resilient Links, Spanning Tree and Rapid Spanning Tree (802.1w), seven groups of RMON, and email alerts, facilitate highly available network designs for the core backbone. (R) Webcache Support Web traffic can be automatically redirected to a 3Com SuperStack 3 Webcache, improving web performance and easing network administration. (R) Advanced Network Control Advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionality such as multicast filtering, virtual LANs, and multilayer traffic classification and prioritization improve traffic control across the network. Flexibility A combination of integrated 1000BASE-SX, 10/100/1000 and GBIC ports supports a variety of cabling plants and network designs. An optional expansion slot accommodates a 4-port Gigabit module for even greater flexibility. 3 C O M (R) S W I T C H 4 0 5 0 A N D S W I T C H 4 0 6 0 D ATA S H E E T High Availability Without Compromise High availability is one of the key requirements for connectivity in the core backbone of enterprise networks. The 3Com Switch 4050 and Switch 4060 deliver this capability through a combination of hardware and software features that provide redundancy, reliability, serviceability, and high network-level availability without compromising performance or functionality. The Switch 4050 and Switch 4060 support two redundant, load sharing and hot-swappable power supplies in addition to hot-swappable fan trays and GBIC transceivers. Network-level availability features such as Link Aggregation and Rapid Spanning Tree enable resilient data paths across the network for even greater fault tolerance. Advanced Multilayer Switching Functionality 3Com's Gigabit Multilayer Switching software, supported by the 3Com Switch 4050 and Switch 4060, provide feature rich Layer 2 functionality, Layer 3 switching for IP networks, and enhanced QoS services. For more efficient use of Internet bandwidth, the 3Com Switch 4050 and Switch 4060 enable automatic redirection of web traffic to 3Com SuperStack 3 Webcache appliances, enhancing overall web performance. Advanced Layer 2 features such as VLAN tagging, Multicast Filtering, Link Aggregation, Spanning Tree, Rapid Spanning Tree (802.1w), and support for seven groups of RMON provide a rich feature set for demanding Gigabit backbones. The Switch 4050 and Switch 4060 provide enhanced device management functionality through support for BootP/DHCP clients, seven groups of RMON, and RMON event notification via an integrated SMTP client. XRN Technology The 3Com Switch 4050 and Switch 4060 support four priority queues per port, Weighted Round Robin queue scheduling, traffic classification and prioritization based on Layer 2 (physical port, 802.1p, Ethertype), Layer 3 (DSCP, IP host address and IP subnet) and Layer 4 (TCP/UDP) information. Priority remarking for DSCP and application filtering is also available for enhanced traffic control across the backbone. These switches also support Layer 3 switching for IP networks, enabling a wide array of services such as unicast IP routing supporting static routes, RIP and RIPv2, IP Multinetting, Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) and UDP Helper. Routed Access Control Lists based on IP address information can also be used to provide enhanced control and security across a Layer 3 switching implementation. 2 Companies no longer have to spend a fortune or double their IT staff to ensure that their essential business systems are continuously available to users who need them. eXpandable Resilient Networking (XRN) technology from 3Com is a new LAN core technology allowing network managers to build affordable network cores with exceptional performance and flexibility. With XRN technology, multiple interconnected Gigabit switches behave as a single distributed switching fabric that grows with the network, without the physical limitations of a centralized core device. XRN technology, enabled via the XRN Interconnect Kit, is supported on the 3Com Switch 4050 and Switch 4060, and the SuperStack 3 Switch 4900 family. 3 C O M (R) S W I T C H 4 0 5 0 A N D S W I T C H 4 0 6 0 D ATA S H E E T "3Com's enterprise networking approach accommodates both the new XRN technology and traditional chassis LAN core switches, so customers have a choice and can customize their solutions to best meet their networking requirements at a lower total cost of ownership."
