ADVANCED TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
Deploying the 3Com Switch 8800 Network Management Module in con-
junction with a Network Data Collector and Application (both of which
are available from third-party vendors) provides administrators with
robust advanced traffic management features. Together, these solutions
enhance administrators’ abilities to gain network traffic visibility in real-
time, enabling them to analyze who is talking to whom and determine
how much traffic is transferred during specific timeframes. Companies
can also use these solutions to create data warehouses for later long-term
analysis and planning.

Feature
Benefit
Network monitoring
Enables real-time viewing, used for
troubleshooting.
Application monitoring
Allows administrators to view
application usage over time.
User monitoring
Identifies end point utilization of
network resources.
Network planning
Enables trend analysis and network
optimization.
Accounting and billing
Facilitates charge-back and cost
allocation.
Data mining and warehousing
Helps determine who accessed
what information, where and when.
SCALABLE AND FLEXIBLE SYSTEM
With its 1.44 Terabits-per-second switching capacity, the Switch 8800
provides exceptional scalability for core, distribution and edge envi-
ronments within the enterprise. The flexible design of the Switch 8800
allows for any combination of modules to be used in a single system,
allowing for easy expansion of network capacity, and accommodating
a highly flexible range of port densities and media types for 10-Gigabit
and Gigabit Ethernet.

INTEGRATED DESIGN
Integrating the network monitoring capabilities within the chassis
decreases the need for additional external appliances in the core. As a
result, fewer resources are required to manage, service, and support the
multiple network elements that are provided by various suppliers. The
integrated design also cuts down on rack space requirements, power
provisioning and cable complexity, and reduces total cost of ownership.

CENTRALIZED ACCESS AND MANAGEMENT
A comprehensive set of management features allows the Switch 8800
to provide enterprise-wide visibility and control to IT staff for configu-
ration, network monitoring and advanced troubleshooting capabilities.
Management features are accessible via an intuitive command line
interface (CLI) as well as by simple network management protocol
(SNMP), with hierarchical access controls and password protection
for secure management access.

Network administrators can use these remote access and management
capabilities of the Switch 8800 to access and manage the Network
Management Module. The Switch 8800 provides centralized access and
management with strong authentication using Secure Shell version 2
(SSHv2) and TACAS+ to prevent unauthorized access.
