SuperStack II |
Overview: The 3Com 3C16960 SuperStack II Switch matrix module and matrix cable let you mix and match SuperStack II Switch 1100s and 3300s to improve throughput, share downlinks, and ease management. Use the matrix cable to connect two Switch 1100s or Switch 3300s and the matrix module to connect up to four switches* while conserving Fast Ethernet ports. The matrix modules 4 x 1 Gbps backplane provides a 1 Gbps link between switches. Ultralow latency (maximum 300 nanoseconds) and hardware flow control ensure top performance at low cost. The entire stack can be managed as a single entity.

Benefits: Stackability Four SuperStack II Switch 1100 or Switch 3300 units can be interconnected to form a stack that offers unrivaled performance and management features. Each unit has a built-in connector at the rear of the unit called the matrix port. Two units can be connected back-to-back with a SuperStack II Switch matrix cable. To connect more than two units, a SuperStack II matrix module can be inserted into the high-speed module slot of one of the units in the stack, and a matrix cable can be used to connect to each switch in the stack. Stacking provides the user with a plethora of benefits. These include the ability to manage in excess of 100 ports as a single logical entity. Configuration is therefore faster and simpler. Stacking also provides the user with the optional resilient IP addresses across the stack. Thus if a failure should occur, the resilient IP address can be used for management stacking using the SuperStack II Switch matrix module and cable, keeping front panel ports free and increasing the number of matrix ports in an aggregated system. Management Transcend® network management Ships with 3Com Transcend Network Supervisor Web-based management Security Disconnect Unauthorized Device (DUD) Roving Analysis Port (RAP) RMON support Class of Service (CoS) CoS can be defined simply as a method for prioritizing various traffic types. 3Com switches can support two methods of enabling CoS on Ethernet networks. The first method is IEEE 802.1D (incorporating 802.1p), which enables eight levels of prioritization; and the second method is 3Coms innovative PACE® technology, which allows the user to specify certain applications as high priority. A hardware feature, dual queues, is used to exploit these traffic prioritization schemes; the dual queues functionrequired for CoSwill automatically enable a second port buffer for high-priority traffic thereby allowing the traffic to bypass lower priority data for faster processing within the switch.
