Introduce the power and performanceof Gigabit Ethernet into yournetwork. 3Com has toppled thebarriers of artificially high prices andneedless complexity. The newSuperStack 3 Switch 3300 offersplug-and-play simplicity as well asthe lowest price per port for GigabitEthernet.

Until now, Gigabit Ethernet was tooexpensive for most small- and mid-sized businesses. Now, 3Com hasreduced the price of Gigabit Ethernetswitching, making it affordable forcompanies of any size.

3Com created four models—fullyoptimized and preconfigured—soyou don’t have to worry aboutspecifying and configuring hardwareand software. Just open the box,connect the power cable and portconnections, and turn on the unit.All four models are fully manageableout of the box. If you want to extendmanagement across the network, youcan use 3Com Network Supervisor atno extra charge.

10/100 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet SwitchingSuperStack 3 Switch 3300 XM: The lowest priceper port member of the SuperStack 3 Switch 3300family provides an excellent entry point if yourbusiness is beginning to implement 10/100switching.

SuperStack 3 Switch 3300 MM: A cost-effectiveswitching solution when combining more thantwo SuperStack 3 Switch 3300s together, using anintegrated matrix module, to create one virtualswitch of up to 110 switched ports that can bemanaged as a single entity with a single IP address(or multiple IP addresses for added resilience).

10/100/1000 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit EthernetSwitchingSuperStack 3 Switch 3300 TM and SuperStack 3Switch 3300 SM: Both switches feature an extraGigabit Ethernet port on the front panel for easyaccess. Use the 3300 TM to reuse your existingcopper-based infrastructure to implement GigabitEthernet. Use the 3300 SM for a fiber-based infrastructure. The SuperStack 3 Switch 3300 SMfeatures a 1000BASE-SX MT-RJ port on the front panel.

All switches Include:• Compact 1U high box (reduces unit height by

one-third)

• Policy enforcement with Fast IP, IGMP snooping,IEEE 802.1D (incorporating 802.1p prioriti-zation), and IEEE 802.1Q standards-basedVLANs

• Dual queues to help prioritize multimedia traffic

• Multicast filtering using IGMP snooping/GMRP

for more efficient bandwidth utilization forhandling video traffic

• Elastic port buffering for on-the-fly port buffermemory allocation, enabling automaticperformance optimization based on networktraffic

• Standards-based flow control to maximize performance and minimize packet loss underheavy network loading

• Trunking support to aggregate links into asingle high-speed connection to other switchesor backbone networks

• Automatic detection of full-/half-duplexoperation on all ports to maximize performancewithout manual configuration

• 24 10/100 ports with autosensing on all ports toadjust automatically to the speed of the attacheddevices

• Web-based monitoring and control system,embedded Remote Monitoring (RMON), and3Com Network Supervisor, enabling authorizedadministrators to troubleshoot and configure aswitching stack from any location

• Full support of resilient links and spanning tree,as well as optional redundant power supplies
