The 3Com Switch 5500-EI 28-Port FX is a premium stackable Fast Ethernet SFP-based fiber switch with Enhanced Image (EI) software for businesses running the most demanding network applications requiring the highest "five 9s" network uptime. 24 SFP ports provide Fast Ethernet fiber connections. Two Gigabit SFP ports and two 10/100/1000 ports are available for stacking, interswitch connections and/or uplinks to the network core. The Switch 5500-EI supports distributed, resilient 3Com XRN Stacking Technology and advanced Layer 3 (RIP/OSPF) routing, Layer 2-4 QoS and rate limiting features. This switch provides extensive security features - SNMP v3, SSH, network login - and resilient hot-swap stacking for simplified management and monitoring.

This switch shares the same operating system as 3Com's other modular switches and routers, which permits you to manage an entire distributed switching and routing infrastructure from a single CLI or SNMP management platform. XRN Stacking Technology lets you create eight-unit (up to 384 Fast Ethernet ports) stacks that offer chassis-like availability and resiliency over traditional aggregated-trunk configurations. It uses 2Gbps stacking bandwidth (4Gbps full duplex) and up to 12.8Gbps switching capacity and 9.5Mpps forwarding rate. Wirespeed performance across all ports within the stack delivers optimal throughputs and bandwidth for business-critical data and high-speed communications. The entire stack is managed as a single-IP management entity, with "masterless" sharing of critical routing information across all units for fast failure recovery. Load-sharing and cross-stack trunking features help eliminate dropped packets, clear up traffic bottlenecks and improve server availability. Advanced, time-based Access Control Lists help safeguard key network resources from unauthorized access and data corruption. User-based authentication and DES 56-bit or 168-bit encryption help secure Layer 3 protocols and management controls.
