OVERVIEW
The 3Com
®
Switch 4210 is a family of Layer 2 entry-level 10/100
LAN switches with enterprise-class QoS, security and management
features, delivering high value for network administrators looking
for an economical edge device. Available Power over Ethernet (PoE)
models are ideal for voice over IP and wireless networking installations;
non-PoE models are also available for simple port expansion.
Setting them apart from lower-end “smart managed” devices, the
Switch 4210 supports an industry-standard Command Line Interface,
Web-based administration, and SNMP management. Switches can be
clustered in any combination up to thirty-two units for simplified
administration.
In addition to rack-mount 26- and 52-port models, the Switch 4210 is
available in small form factor units with nine or 18 ports for enterprise
branch and small workgroup deployments, in both PoE and non-PoE
variants, with the same manageability as the larger rack-mount versions.
The Switch 4210 comes with 3Com’s lifetime warranty covering the
unit, power supply and fan; Advanced Hardware Replacement with
next business day shipment is available in most regions.
KEY BENEFITS
ECONOMICAL, FLEXIBLE LAYER 2 NETWORKING
3Com Switch 4210 switches deliver enterprise-class 10/100 Layer 2 edge
connections with Gigabit uplinks. All models are wirespeed and non-
blocking for optimum performance. These switches feature combination
ports that can run in one of two modes: 10/100/1000 Mbps connections
over copper Ethernet cabling, or 100 or 1000 Mbps over fiber cabling
using SFP mini-GBIC technology.
POWER OVER ETHERNET FOR VOICE-READY NETWORKING
Industry-standard IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet is supported on
three switches: the 9-, 18- and 26-port PWR models. These switches are
ideal for workgroups where phones or wireless access points connect
together with user end stations, reducing costs and simplifying the
installation of converged voice and wireless networks by providing
power over the same Ethernet cabling as used for data.
