3Com® Baseline Switch
2250 Plus
Product #: 3CBLSF50H
Features, Benefits & Specifications
Affordable, Web-managed 10/100 Ethernet Switching with Gigabit
Uplinks
The "smart" 3Com® Baseline Switch 2250 Plus is a web-managed
Layer 2 10/100 Ethernet switch. It offers enterprise-class features,
customized and priced for small- and mid-sized organizations. With
an easy-to-use interface and advanced features (VLANs, IEEE
802.1X authentication and Rapid Spanning Tree), this switch is a
cost-effective way to provide a converged network.
Layer 2 Switching with Advanced Features
The Baseline Switch 2250 Plus has forty-eight 10/100 ports and two
dual-purpose Gigabit ports (copper or SFP-based fiber) to connect to
high-performance computers, servers, or core network backbones.
The switch provides non-blocking performance—
all ports perform at
wirespeed which helps to eliminate network traffic bottlenecks.
Manual link aggregation allows ports to be grouped together to form
an ultra-high-bandwidth connection that greatly expands bandwidth
capacity to the network backbone.
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 for
strengthening security.
The Baseline Switch 2250 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.
Smart Browser-Based User Interface
For networks that require more control, the switch management
interface— completely redesigned to enhance useability— allows
even novice users to quickly and confidently configure the switch
during initial setup or normal operation.
In addition, the web interface features individual port-traffic
monitoring (port mirroring) and a unique, quick-glance switch status
review. A cable diagnostic tool lets users troubleshoot basic
connectivity problems via the web management interface, further
simplifying network installation.
