3Com 3CR17251-91 Switch 5500G-EI 48-Port Gigabit Switch

The 3Com Switch 5500G-EI is a premium managed Gigabit switch with advanced features, perfect for medium-sized businesses looking to deploy advanced edge applications. Layer 3 routing makes the Switch 5500 ideal for businesses looking to deploy the most advanced applications.The Switch 5500G-EI PWR 48-port features 44 Gigabit ports, four dual-personality ports, operating either as 10/100/1000 or SFP-based fiber and one expansion module slot. Patented XRN stacking technology provides 8-high multi-layer stacking allowing single-IP management for a stack of up to 384 ports. IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet enables power to be injected out to the edge of the network without the need to install additional wires or upgrade existing power supplies.Advanced Layer 3 routing - including OSPF, PIM-SM, PIM-DM and RIP v1/v2 - helps deliver optimal performance and system response. Enterprise-class security features include DES 56/168-bit† encryption, IEEE 802.1X network login, Access Control Lists and RADIUS Authenticated Device Access (RADA).
