BASELINE SWITCH 2916-SFP PLUS CPNT 16X10/100/1000+4 10/100/1000/SFP ML

Affordable, Managed Gigabit Switching with Flexible Uplinks

The "smart" voice-ready 3Com® Baseline Switch 2916-SFP Plus is a web-managed Layer 2 Gigabit switch. It offers enterprise-class features, customized and priced for small- and mid-sized organizations.

With an easy-to-use switch interface and advanced features (VLANs, IEEE 802.1X authentication and Rapid Spanning Tree), this switch is the most cost-effective way to provide a converged network.

Layer 2 Switching with Advanced Features

The Baseline Switch 2916-SFP Plus has sixteen 10/100/1000 ports and four dual-purpose Gigabit ports (copper or SFP-based fiber) to connect to high-performance computers, servers, or core network backbones.

This "smart" switch has the features that help build a voice ready network, with support for auto-voice VLAN, SNMP-based management, IGMP snooping and query, and IEEE 802.1X and advanced Access Control Lists (ACLs) for strengthening security.

The switch provides non-blocking performance— all ports perform at wirespeed which helps to eliminate network traffic bottlenecks. LACP link aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad) allows ports to be automatically grouped together to form an ultra-high-bandwidth connection that greatly expands bandwidth capacity to the network backbone.

The Baseline Switch 2916-SFP Plus also supports Spanning Tree and Rapid Spanning Tree, traffic prioritization, priority queuing and VLANs. These switching features ensure optimal use of available bandwidth as traffic flow is directed according to the needs of the business.

No Switch Setup Required

This Baseline Plus switch is operational straight out-of-the-box; as long as default settings are acceptable, there is no need to configure the switch. If desired, the switch can be configured using a web browser or SNMP management software.
