3COM® SWITCH 8800 FAMILY
ENTERPRISE-WIDE SECURITY
Security is paramount in today’s enterprise and as dependency on
information technology continues to rise, so does the need for highly
secure IT systems and infrastructure. The 3Com Switch 8800 Family
features advanced security capabilities, including user and device
authentication, policy-based access controls, encrypted system management
access and quarantine enforcement for containment of vulnerabilities and
deliberate attacks.

The Switch 8800 provides secure network access using standard IEEE
802.1X along with with user- and device-based access control capabilities.
RADIUS support enables user authentication. Port- and VLAN-based
Access Control Lists (ACLs) and dynamic traffic filtering capabilities can
be deployed to further control access to network resources.

Additional security measures are enforced on access to switch manage-
ment utilities via Secure Shell version 2 (SSH v2) and SNMP v3 with
authentication and encryption of network management traffic.

Optional firewall and IPsec modules deliver an unprecedented level of
integrated security. The firewall module enables a stateful firewall that
operates in either a routed or transparent mode, and offers high-effi-
ciency packet filtering, transparent proxy, stateful detection security
technology. The IPsec module is a high-performance hardware-based
encryption VPN module designed for enterprises requiring support for
multiple VPN applications. It provides multiple VPN functions (L2TP
VPN, GRE VPN, IPsec VPN) and supports IPsec hardware encryption
of DES, 3DES, and AES at a maximum encryption rate of 256 bits.

SCALABLE PERFORMANCE
With its 1.44 Terabits-per-second-capable backplane and wire-speed
switching capacity, the Switch 8800 provides exceptional scalability
for core, data center, distribution and edge environments within the
enterprise. System performance and connectivity options can be tailored
to each environment with a wide selection of switching modules, scaling
up to 48 10-Gigabit ports or 576 Gigabit ports in a single chassis.

The flexible design of the Switch 8800 allows for any combination of
switching modules to be used in a single system, allowing easy expansion
of network capacity, accommodating a range of port densities and media
types for 10-Gigabit and Gigabit Ethernet.

Installation of the optional second switch fabric increases performance
from 720 Gbps to 1.44 Tbps, as the fabrics are load-sharing. Each
switching I/O module provides on-board local multilayer switching,
maximizing system performance and application response times; adding
modules increases the aggregate system performance, to a maximum
Layer 2/3 switching capacity of 856 Mpps. In addition, the backplane
is designed to accommodate higher-performing switch fabrics.
