These managed switches offer tremendous value to
small and medium businesses looking for a low cost
solution who need a level of control over their network
not offered by unmanaged switching products, without
sacrificing the advanced functionality normally found
on higher-end managed switching products.

KEY BENEFITS
LAYER 2 SWITCHING WITH ADVANCED FEATURES
The Baseline Switch 2900 Plus helps build a voice
ready network—with 3Com’s unique auto-voice VLAN,
advanced voice QoS, SNMP-based management,
Power over Ethernet (PoE) and other features.

To ensure optimal use of the network bandwidth and
deliver maximum voice and data quality, traffic flow
can be directed according to the needs of the business
using Spanning Tree and Rapid Spanning Tree, traffic
prioritization, priority queuing and VLANs.

Link aggregation can be done via IEEE 802.3ad LACP
or manually, allowing ports to be grouped together to
form an ultra-high-bandwidth connection that greatly
expands bandwidth capacity to the network core or
other parts of the network.

four dual-purpose ports (configurable as 10/100/1000
copper or SFP-based fiber) to connect to high-
performance computers, servers, or network
backbones.

ENTERPRISE-QUALITY SECURITY
Enterprise-quality security is provided with IEEE
802.1X network login and advanced Access Control
Lists (ACLs), which enable usage policies via the
switch at each point of access to the network. All
management communications are encrypted with
HTTPS.

POWER OVER ETHERNET
The Baseline Switch 2924-PWR Plus provides inline
power to attached devices—access points, Voice over
IP (VoIP) phones, IP security cameras, etc.—via
industry-standard IEEE 802.3af PoE over a single
Ethernet cable, resulting in significant deployment
cost savings.

NO SWITCH SETUP REQUIRED
Baseline Plus switches are operational straight out-
of-the-box; as long as default settings are acceptable,
there is no need to configure the switch. If desired, the
switch can be configured using a web browser,
console port, or SNMP management software.
