Overview
The “smart” 3Com ® Baseline Switch 2250
Plus is the latest member in the family of premium value Baseline Plus switches that deliver enterprise-class solutions, customized and priced for small and mid-sized organizations.
The 3Com Baseline Switch 2250 Plus provides forty-eight 10/100 ports and two dual-purpose Gigabit ports to connect to high-performance computers, high demand servers, or core network backbones, either using the built-in copper Gigabit uplink ports or the SFP based slots for Gigabit fiber connections. With a low entry cost, the 3Com Baseline Switch 2250 Plus offers advanced administration through a userfriendly browser interface so that even network novices can easily configure and administer the network. QoS and VLAN support allows greater scalability and support for business-critical applications such as customer relation management
(CRM), supply chain management (SCM) and video conferencing. Ports can be trunked, or aggregated, to create an ultrahigh bandwidth pipe to the network core.
Ethernet Switching
The 3Com Baseline Switch 2250 Plus is a non-blocking Layer 2 switch—all ports switch at wire speed—which helps to eliminate network traffic bottlenecks.
Once more, Link aggregation via
IEEE802.3ad allows administrators to group any number of copper or fiber ports together to form an ultra-high bandwidth pipe that greatly expands bandwidth capacity to the network backbone. The switch also supports VLANs, which segment the network by grouping users based on data or traffic exchange requirements. These switching features ensure optimal use of available bandwidth as traffic flow is directed according to the needs of the business.
Intuitive web browser-based user interface
The 3Com Baseline Switch 2250 Plus provides an easy-to-use web-based interface that allows even novice users to quickly and confidently configure the switch during initial setup or normal operation. The web interface makes it easy to configure individual port speeds and duplex configuration, VLANs, Link aggregation, and traffic prioritization, as well as keep an eye on network traffic and statistics. These capabilities make the switch an exceptional value.
An enterprise-class solution for Smallto-Mid-sized businesses
The 3Com Baseline Switch 2250 Plus is operational straight out of the box; as long as basic settings are acceptable, there is no need to configure the switch. For networks that require more control, the user-friendly web based interface provides easy-to-use tools to design your network for optimal use. All 3Com networking products go through vigorous testing to ensure top reliability. A proven reputation for quality is backed by an industry-leading support package with a Limited Lifetime Hardware
Warranty and Worldwide Next Business

BENEFITS
Take advantage of flexible, configurable and powerful switching that costs not much more than an unmanaged switch.
Choose to daisychain multiple units together via the built-in copper Gigabit uplink ports or connect to a network backbone via SFP-based fiber modules.
Extremely easy-to-use user interface allows even the most novice users to configure the switch during initial setup or normal operation.
Segment the network by grouping users based on their data or traffic exchange requirements. This ensures optimal use of available bandwidth as traffic flow is directed according to the needs of the business.
Group together any number of copper or fiber ports to form an ultra-high bandwidth pipe connecting the switch to a network backbone and prevent any traffic bottlenecks. The switch supports up to four trunks and up to eight ports per trunk.
Administrators can examine suspect data streams received on any port by mirroring the data stream to a monitoring port.
Offerring complete peace of mind.
