			Features & Benefits High-Density, Stackable 10/100 Switching Deploy high-performance, feature-rich Ethernet LAN switching with high port density. This affordable, intelligent 10/100 switch is fully manageable, making it a good choice for networks of any size. The 3Com® SuperStack® 3 Switch 4400 also helps increase network availability and reliability. The switch optimizes and controls data flow through the use of advanced quality of service, helping to ensure that mission-critical traffic reaches the intended users every time. Rapid Spanning Tree, stack-wide trunking, resilient stacking, link aggregation and built-in redundant power supply support deliver robust performance and fault tolerance. Optional switching modules provide resilient high-speed connections such as Fast Ethernet, including 100BASE-LX (Ethernet in the First Mile), and Gigabit Ethernet copper or fiber links.		User network login with IEEE 802.1X and RADIUS, combined with RADIUS Authenticated Device Access (RADA), based on MAC address, provide secure network access control at the network edge Authenticated users can be automatically placed into a specific VLAN, restricting access only to the data needed Secure Shell (SSH) encryption of login passwords, management VLANs, and management station "trusted IP address" lists help protect network from rogue management threats LACP (IEEE 802.3ad) intelligently detects configuration duplicity and uses it to trunk up to 4Gb of bandwidth across a stack, while nullifying single points of failure from the network's edge infrastructure Advanced Layer 4 functionality identifies and prioritizes real-time or business-critical applications such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, LAN telephony, and video streaming Add optional switching modules to provide resilient high-speed connections, such as Gigabit Ethernet backbone links, or 100BASE-LX 10 links for Ethernet in First Mile over Point to Point Fiber (EFMF) Backup and restore functionality enables switch configurations to be captured and reapplied individually to a single switch or across a whole network at a push of a button Forwarding up to 10.1 million pps, with a massive switching fabric of 13.6 Gbps, provides industry-leading performance Mix and match 24-port and 48-port SuperStack 3 Switch 4400s to create a resilient stack of up to a total of 384 10/100 connections Stackable architecture increases scalability and allows high-speed trunks between workgroup and other resources 3Com Network Supervisor 3.0 software (60-day trial included) supports automatic prioritization of real-time or critical traffic Resilient hot-swappable stacking and network connections enhance network availability and usability		RELATED INFORMATION Important technical update: Daylight Savings Time and 3Com Switches 3Com Product Guide 3Com SuperStack 3 Switch 4400: Supporting IP Telephony SuperStack 3 Switch 4400 Tolly Report: Layer 2/4 TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION Network Login: Business Critical Network Security Blocking Network Games on the LAN Securing Your Network from SNMP Vulnerabilities Keeping Informed of Network Events Maximizing Network Uptime Simplifying Network Installation with Smart IP Prioritizing Video Traffic over the LAN Building a Robust Wiring Closet Gaining Control over Application Traffic Get Control of the Network CASE STUDIES University of Toronto (Canada) First to the Finish (USA) Major League Baseball Team Knocks Network Congestion Out of the Park Using 3Com® Gigabit to the Desktop Solution, USA Columbus Zoo (USA) Mental Health Provider Protects Itself And Patients With Secure 3Com® Small Business Networks Collinsville Schools (USA) Stanly County School District (USA)
