3Com®Baseline Switch 2226-PWR Plus
Key Benefits
Overview
The “smart” 3Com®Baseline Switch 2226-
PWR Plus is the latest member in the
family of premium value Baseline Plus
switches that deliver enterprise-class solu-
tions, customized and priced for small and
mid-sized organizations. With full IEEE
802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet
(PoE) support on all ports, customers can
power 3Com NBX®or other IEEE-
compliant IP phones, wireless LAN access
points, and Network Jack products
directly from the switch. This convenience
lowers the total cost of ownership since
there is no need to run additional wiring
to power these devices.
The 3Com Baseline Switch 2226-PWR Plus
provides twenty-four 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 2226-PWR Plus offers advanced
administration through a user-friendly
browser interface so that even network
novices can easily configure and admin-
ister the network. Extensive QoS and
VLAN support allows greater scalability
and support for business-critical applica-
tions such as customer relation
management (CRM), supply chain manage-
ment (SCM), video conferencing, and Voice
over IP (VoIP). Ports can be trunked, or
aggregated, to create an ultra-high band-
width pipe to the network core.
Ethernet Switching
The 3Com Baseline Switch 2226-PWR 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 Port, MAC address,
and 802.1p QoS traffic prioritization, and
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.
Convergence
The 3Com Baseline Switch 2226-PWR Plus
supports Power over Ethernet (IEEE
802.3af) on all 10/100 ports and provides
up to 15.4W of power per port over the
normally unused pairs in Category 5
Ethernet cable. This makes an extremely
cost-effectivesolution when deploying
VoIP phones, remote security IP cameras,
and wireless access points.

FEATURES BENEFITS
Outstanding value Take advantage of flexible, configurable and powerful switching that costs not much more than an
unmanaged switch.
Flexible Gigabit uplinks 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.
Browser-based user interface for switch Extremely easy-to-use user interface allows even the most novice users to configure the switch during initial
configuration and administration setup or normal operation.
Automatic NBX traffic prioritization Switch will automatically detect and prioritize NBX traffic, making voice prioritization transparent to the user.
VLANs 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. The
switch supports up to 64 VLANs.
Link aggregation (trunking) 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.
Extensive traffic prioritization Traffic prioritization flexibility makes this switch suitable for many small and mid-sized business applications
and environments with different bandwidth needs or restrictions.
Traffic monitoring (port mirroring) Administrators can examine suspect data streams received on any port by mirroring the data stream to a
monitoring port.
Power configuration Flexible configuration options available per switch and per port. Power can be enabled or disabled per unit
and per port. Per-port power can also be limited, giving users a lot flexibility in the converged network.
FREEDOM TO CHOOSE A BETTER NETWORK
Intuitive web browser-based user
interface
The 3Com Baseline Switch 2226-PWR 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 manage PoE power
distribution, 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.
Enterprise-class quality and reliability
without complexity
The 3Com Baseline Switch 2226-PWR 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 Day Advance
Hardware Replacement.
