The 3Com Baseline Switch 2226-PWR Plus
provides twenty-four 10/100 ports and
two dual-purpose Gigabit ports to connect
to high-performance computers, high-
demand servers, or core network
backbones, either using the built-in
copper Gigabit uplink ports or the SFP-
based slots for Gigabit fiber connections.
With a low entry cost, the 3Com Baseline
Switch 2226-PWR Plus offers advanced
administration through a user-friendly
browser interface so that even network
novices can easily configure and admin-
ister the network. Extensive QoS and
VLAN support allows greater scalability
and support for business-critical applica-
tions such as customer relation
management (CRM), supply chain manage-
ment (SCM), video conferencing, and Voice
over IP (VoIP). Ports can be trunked, or
aggregated, to create an ultra-high band-
width pipe to the network core.

Ethernet Switching
The 3Com Baseline Switch 2226-PWR 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 via
IEEE802.3ad allows administrators 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 backbone. The
switch also supports Port, MAC address,
and 802.1p QoS traffic prioritization, 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.

Convergence
The 3Com Baseline Switch 2226-PWR Plus
supports Power over Ethernet (IEEE
802.3af) on all 10/100 ports and provides
up to 15.4W of power per port over the
normally unused pairs in Category 5
Ethernet cable. This makes an extremely
cost-effectivesolution when deploying
VoIP phones, remote security IP cameras,
and wireless access points.
