Non-stop Network Availability
Fault-tolerant aggregation features inboth the 3Com Switch 4007 and theSwitch 4007R include resilient links,link aggregation, Spanning TreeProtocol (STP), Open Shortest PathFirst (OSPF), and Virtual RouterRedundancy Protocol (VRRP).Redundant chassis architecturesupports management modules,power supplies, fans and hot-swappable switching modules fornon-stop operation.In adition, the Switch 4007R providesan extra level of availability withoptional redundant switching fabric.Software provides hot stand-byprotection with sub-second cutovercapability for virtually non-stopoperation.
Network Control
Layer 2 switching functionalitysupports hardware-based packetfilters, port- and protocol-basedvirtual LANs (VLANs), and RMONsupport for greater network control.
Prioritize Business-Critical Traffic
Advanced policy-based Class ofService/Quality of Service (CoS/QoS)enables identification and prioriti-zation of business-critical traffic fornetwork optimization.
Advanced Layer 3 Support
Provides full multiprotocol routingsupport of IP, IPX and AppleTalk,and multicast traffic control throughIGMP and DVMRP routing, forlogical network segmentation andsecure communication.
Flexibility
The 3Com Switch 4007 and Switch4007R provide a range of port densitiesand media types for 10/100/1000Mbps connections, providing supportfor all cabling requirements.
Powerful Management
3Com Network Supervisor providesdiscovery, mapping, monitoring, andalerting for easy network adminis-tration. Configuration and installationof the switch is simplified withincluded Setup Wizard, built-in web-based management and Telnetsupport.

• Distributed processing.• Passive backplane with 240 Gbps
capacity.
Switch Fabric Design
Two switch fabrics are available:
• The 18 Gbps switch fabric isoptimized for Fast Ethernet coreaggregation, providing six internalfull-duplex Gigabit Ethernet portsfor backplane switching, and threeexternal full-duplex GigabitEthernet ports for high-capacitydownlinks or local server connec-tivity.
• The 48 Gbps switch fabric isoptimized for the Gigabit backboneand data center, providing 24internal full-duplex GigabitEthernet ports for backplaneswitching.
Multilayer Switch Modules
3Com Switch 4007 Multilayer Switch(MLS) modules provide media raterouting and switching with extensiveCoS/QoS capabilities for Ethernet,Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernetports. These modules deliver routingservices simultaneously through allfront-panel ports and through thebackplane to other modules in thechassis. The MLS modules areavailable with twelve 10/100BASE-TXports, or four 1000BASE-X ports withGBICs.
Multilayer Switch Modules—Servicesand Features• IP routing using RIP, RIP2, and
OSPF protocols; IPX and AppleTalkrouting
• Media rate IP and IPX routing onFast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet
• Link aggregation up to eight load-sharing ports
• VLANs based on port, protocol, andstandard IEEE 802.1Q
• IEEE 802.1p priorities (four priorityqueues)
• Extensive route filtering• Hardware-based filtering for various
packet types• IGMP routing, IGMP snooping, and
DVMRP for multicast traffic control• VRRP for system redundancy• SNMP and web management• QoS Time-of-Day Policies, including
SNTP (Simple Network TimeProtocol)
• RMON-1 and RMON-2 support

"The 3Com Switch4007's ease of usemakes it a first-ratesolution to drive ournew-generationapplications..."Max Mulliner, Jordan School
District, Salt Lake County, UT
"3Com's solution was less expensive andmore flexible than Cisco's, and was virtuallyeffortless to deploy...We were confident 3Comwould provide us with proven technology andunparalleled support – and they did."Rose Hagy, Magnatech International, L.P, Robesonia, PA
Note: All modules and switch fabrics can be used in either the 3Com Switch 4007 or Switch 4007R Starter Kitsand chassis.
However, power supplies and fan assemblies are specific to their respective Starter Kits or chassis.
"Because our network stores and transports patients' treatment anddiagnostic histories, network uptime is a vital component to qualitycare...With the Switch 4007, we have the speed to get thisinformation to our medical teams as emergency situations dictatewithout giving a second thought to network availability."Roger Crook, SwedishAmerican Hospital, Rockford, IL
