KEY BENEFITS
DELIVERS CONTROL: A REQUIREMENT FOR
SEAMLESS SECURITY AND MOBILITY
Because wireless clients are mobile, 3Com uses innovative
Identity-Based Networking to deliver their network services.
Multiple controllers and switches are grouped into a Network
and Mobility Domain for securely sharing user databases
across a network infrastructure, including remote offices.

Multiple controllers and switches are grouped into a Network
and Mobility Domain for securely sharing user databases
across a network infrastructure, including remote offices.
Through this information exchange, the Mobility System is
able to enforce consistent network-wide access and security
policies as users roam the network. Users are free from
dependency on port or device connections. A user’s location
and security access details are quickly transferred between
switches and/or controllers. Users gain seamless security
and session integrity and interoperability with voice-over-Wi-Fi
(VoWiFi) phones, without the need for re-authentication or
IT intervention. Guest Access application allows non-IT staff,
such as front desk personnel, to easily provide temporary
secured-wireless access to guest visitors.

CENTRALIZES MANAGEMENT
The 3Com Wireless Switch Manager eliminates the time-
consuming task of individually configuring each device.
Simple and centralized setup makes initial deployment and

Simple and centralized setup makes initial deployment and
long term management easier. Accessed from anywhere on
the network, the Wireless Switch Manager software lets
administrators change parameters of hundreds of managed
access points or dozens of wireless switches with just a
few keystrokes.

ENHANCES STANDARDS-BASED SECURITY
The centralized security management of the 3Com Wireless
LAN Mobility System can significantly enhance protection. The
exchange of user-based information within the Network and
Mobility Domain adds an additional level of control — beyond
the existing 3Com foundation of IEEE 802.11i Wi-Fi
