Switch 7700 Family
Key Benefits
Scalability
Scales to 288 Fast Ethernet and 120
Gigabit Ethernet ports, with support
Choose from 8-slot redundant, 7-slot,
and 4-slot chassis configurations. 
Performance
Provides up to 240 Gbps switching
performance with local switching on
each blade. Helps reduce congestion
in the core of the network, improving
application response times when
accessing data across the network.
Prioritize Converged and other 
Business-Critical Traffic
Advanced policy-based Class of
Service/Quality of Service (CoS/QoS),
eight priority queues, committed
access rates, and bandwidth limiting
and filtering enables identification
and prioritization of business-critical
traffic, such as voice, for optimal
network performance. Routing of
multicast traffic in hardware on the
Switch 7700 helps enable maximum
performance for streamed voice and
video data. 
Network Level Availability
Helps minimize network down-time,
providing a robust platform capable
of supporting VoIP traffic. Enable
rapid disaster recovery with resilient
links, link aggregation, Spanning
Tree Protocol (STP), Rapid Spanning
Tree Protocol (RSTP), Open Shortest
Path First (OSPF), and Virtual
Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP).
Redundant chassis architecture
supports power supplies, fans and
hot-swappable switching modules 
for virtually non-stop operation,
while sub-one-second fabric failover
on the 3Com Switch 7700R helps
enable the highest level of network
availability.
Security
IEEE 802.1X RADIUS Network Login
and Access Control Lists provide
secure network access control at the
core of the network. Layer 3
protocols and management can be
authenticated, preventing
unauthorized configuration of the
network.
Network Control
All 3Com Switch 7700 modules
support hardware-based packet
filters, Virtual LANs (VLANs) and
RMON support for greater network
control.
Advanced Layer 3 Support
Provides multiprotocol routing
support of IP and multicast traffic
control through IGMP and PIM
SM/DM routing, for logical
network segmentation and secure 
communication. Capabilities for MAN
deployments and larger networks are
provided through the support for
BGP
*
and IS-IS
*
.
Flexibility
Modular design of the Switch 7700
enables additional modules to be
inserted as, and when, the network
grows. Provides a range of port
densities and media types for
connections of 10 to 1000 Mbps, 
with fiber or copper cabling
requirements.
