OVERVIEW
The 3Com
®
Switch 5500G 10/100/1000 Family delivers premium levels
of performance, security and reliability for robust switching at the
enterprise network edge. The family consists of Layer 2/3/4 Gigabit
Ethernet and Power over Ethernet switches, with advanced features
that can accommodate the most demanding applications, offering
resilient and secure connectivity and the latest traffic-prioritization
technologies to optimize applications on converged networks. Designed
for maximum flexibility and scalability, 3Com Switch 5500G models come
with 24 or 48 Gigabit ports, and offer optional modules for 10-Gigabit
and SFP Gigabit uplink connections.

The switches can be stacked up to eight units high using patented
3Com XRN
3Com XRN
®
(eXpandable Resilient Networking) technology. One XRN
stack can provide up to 448 Gigabit Ethernet ports, with 96 Gbps
resilient stacking bandwidth, all centrally managed, with high-end
enterprise chassis-class availability.

enterprise chassis-class availability.
Further expansion is possible via clustered stacking technology, allowing
single IP management for up to 32 devices from different 3Com switch
families, including the Switch 5500G, 5500, 4500G, 4210 and 4200G.

KEY BENEFITS
ENTERPRISE-LEVEL PERFORMANCE
3Com Switch 5500G 10/100/1000 devices provide switching capacity
of up to 240 Gbps for 48-port models and 192 Gbps for 24-port models.
Wirespeed line-rate performance is delivered on all ports within the
stack. Advanced Layer 3 routing—including OSPF, PIM-SM, PIM-DM
and RIP v1/v2—helps deliver optimal performance and system response.

BUILT FOR FLEXIBILITY AND GROWTH
The 3Com Switch 5500G family consists of five models: choose 24 or 48
Gigabit ports, with or without PoE; a fifth SFP model offers 24 SFP
Gigabit ports. Four ports on each of these models are dual-purpose or
“dual-personality,” functioning as either 10/100/1000 or with fiber
Gigabit SFPs; two of these four SFP ports also support Fast Ethernet fiber.

All models come with an applications module slot for adding ports
or capabilities. Install an 8-Port SFP Gigabit module, or a 1- or 2-port
10-Gigabit module. Use this in the future to add a 3Com Open Services
Networking (OSN) module.
