Key Benefits
Overview 
The 3Com Baseline Switch 2816-SFP Plus
is the first in a new family of "smart", cost-
effective, Layer 2 10/100 and 10/100/1000
Ethernet switches. The revolutionary
switch provides a user-friendly web
browser for switch configuration and
administration. With a low entry cost, the
switch offers advanced features such as
802.3ad link aggregation; 802.1p class of
service (CoS) traffic prioritization; and
VLANs for greater scaleability, and
support for business-critical applications
such as customer relation management
(CRM), supply chain management (SCM),
video conferencing, and Voice over
IP(VoIP).
Smart browser-based user interface
The 3Com Baseline Switch 2816-SFP Plus
provides an easy-to-use web-based inter-
face that allows even novice users to
quickly and confidently configure the
switch during initial setup or normal oper-
ation. In addition, the web interface
features individual port traffic monitoring
(port mirroring) and unique, quick-glance
switch status monitoring. These capabili-
ties make the switch an exceptional value.
Ethernet Switching 
The 3Com
®
Baseline Switch 2816-SFP Plus
is a non-blocking Layer 2 switch—all
ports switch at wire speed which helps to
eliminate network traffic bottlenecks.
Once more, link aggregation allows admin-
istrators to group any number of copper or
fiber ports together to form an ultra-high
bandwidth pipe that greatly expands
bandwidth capacity to the network back-
bone. The switch also supports 802.1p for
traffic prioritization and priority queuing,
and  VLANs, which segment the network
by grouping users based on data or traffic
exchange requirements. These switching
features ensure optimal use of available
bandwidth as traffic flow is directed
according to the needs of the business. 
Enterprise-class quality and reliability
without complexity
The 3Com Baseline Switch 2816-SFP Plus
is operational straight out of the box; as
long as basic settings are acceptable, there
is no need to configure the switch. For
networks that require more control, the
user-friendly web-based interface provides
easy-to-use tools to design your network
for optimal use. All 3Com networking
products go through vigorous testing to
ensure top reliability. A proven reputation
for quality is backed by an industry-
leading support package with a 3 year
Hardware Warranty.
