Switch 4070
High-Availability, Flexible Gigabit Switching for the LAN Core
Designed for the demanding requirements at the core backbone of enterprise
networks, the 3Com® Switch 4070 delivers a unique combination of
performance, availability, and flexibility.
Features & Benefits
|
The switch's durable metal chassis-a compact, 2RU-high rack-mountable unit-is
equipped with 24 SFP (Small Form Factor Plug-in, or "mini-GBIC") ports,
accommodating 3Com® 1000BASE-SX SFP (3CSFP91), 1000BASE-LX SFP (3CSFP92) and
1000BASE-LH (3CSFP97) transceivers. Mix and match the population of SFPs so as
to populate the switch to suit your port count and media needs. |
 |
Fault-tolerance features include modular, load-sharing, hot-swappable power
supplies; modular, hot-swappable fan trays; and hot-swappable GBIC transceivers.
You can install a second power supply for added power redundancy.
The 3Com Switch 4070 supports 3Com Gigabit Multilayer Switching software, which
offers feature-rich Layer 2 functionality, Layer 3 switching for IP networks,
and advanced traffic prioritization and security capabilities to accommodate the
ever growing requirements of core Gigabit backbones.
-
3Com XRN™ (eXpandable Resilient Networking) technology
allows implementation of high availability configurations using two
interconnected Switch 4050s, Switch 4060s, or Switch 4070s, scaling the backbone
to 48 wirespeed Gigabit Layer 3 switching ports (with purchase of optional 3Com
XRN Interconnect Kit, or GBIC Fabric Interconnect with GMS Advanced Feature
License
-
Advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionality—such as multicast filtering, enhanced
QoS/CoS services, virtual LANs, and multi-layer traffic classification and
prioritisation—provides network-wide traffic control
-
3Com-developed ASIC architecture delivers 56 Gbps multi-layer switching capacity
per unit, wire-speed performance across all ports, and a forwarding rate of more
than 41 million pps
-
Layer 3 switching capabilities—such as OSPF, IP unicast using static routes,
RIP/RIPv2, and CIDR—help enhance performance, provide network control and
security, and enable routing between VLANs (OSPF available with purchase of GMS
Advanced Feature License, 3C1770v4)
-
Support for high availability software features such as Link Aggregation using
802.3ad, Resilient links, Spanning Tree and Rapid Spanning Tree (802.1w), seven
groups of RMON, and e-mail alerts
-
Security features like 802.1X RADIUS client support and Routed Access Control
lists protect sensitive network information and ensure that users have access to
authorized resources
-
High-density fiber connectivity by populating the Switch 4070 with 1000BASE-SX,
1000BASE-LX , and 1000BASE-LH SFP transceivers. 1000BASE-LH supports up to 70Km
of single mode fibre.
-
Optional 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-LX and GBIC-based expansion modules
deliver four ports of high-performance, feature-rich switching over copper or
multimode fibre
-
3Com® Network Supervisor, (60-day trial version included with the switch),
offers discovery, mapping, monitoring, and alerting for easy network
administration.
