3COM BASELINE PLUS
SWITCH 2900 GIGABIT
FAMILY
Enterprise-class, Gigabit switches for
small and medium businesses, voice ready
with PoE and advanced features for network
control and flexibility
OVERVIEW
The "smart" voice-ready 3Com® Baseline Plus Switch
2900 Gigabit Family delivers Layer 2 enterprise-class
Gigabit switching solutions along with layer 3 static
routes, customized and priced for small and mid-sized
organizations.
These managed switches offer tremendous value to
small and medium businesses looking for a low cost
solution who need a level of control over their network
not offered by unmanaged switching products, without
sacrificing the advanced functionality normally found
on higher-end managed switching products.
KEY BENEFITS
LAYER 2 SWITCHING WITH ADVANCED FEATURES
The Baseline Plus Switch 2900 Gigabit Family helps
build a voice ready network—with 3Com’s unique
auto-voice VLAN, advanced voice QoS, SNMP-based
management, Power over Ethernet (PoE) and other
features.
To ensure optimal use of the network bandwidth and
deliver maximum voice and data quality, traffic flow
can be directed according to the needs of the business
using Spanning Tree and Rapid Spanning Tree, traffic
prioritization, priority queuing and VLANs.
Link aggregation can be done via IEEE 802.3ad LACP
or manually, allowing ports to be grouped together to
form an ultra-high-bandwidth connection that greatly
expands bandwidth capacity to the network core or
other parts of the network.
Baseline Plus Switch 2900 models are available with
20, 28, and 52 ports; two 28 port PoE models (one with
from top to bottom: 3Com Baseline Plus, Switch 2920, Switch 2928,
Switch 2952, Switch 2928 PWR, Switch 2928 HPWR
170W budget and the other with 365W power budget)
deliver data and power over the same cabling. Each
switch also has four dedicated SFP ports for fiber
uplinks over longer distances.
ENTERPRISE-QUALITY SECURITY
Enterprise-quality security is provided with IEEE
802.1X network login and advanced Access Control
Lists (ACLs), which enable usage policies via the
switch at each point of access to the network. Time
based policies can also be configured on these
switches. All management communications are
encrypted with HTTPS.
POWER OVER ETHERNET
The Baseline Plus Switch 2928 PWR and 2928 HPWR
provides inline power to attached devices—access
points, Voice over IP (VoIP) phones, IP security
cameras, etc.—via industry-standard IEEE 802.3af PoE
over a single Ethernet cable, resulting in significant
deployment cost savings. These switches also support
pre-std PoE plus functionality that will enable the switch
to deliver 30W of power on each port.
NO SWITCH SETUP REQUIRED
Baseline Plus Gigabit switches are 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, console port, or SNMP management software.
ENHANCED INTUITIVE MANAGEMENT OPTIONS
For networks that require more control, the switch
web management interface provides an intuitive,

KEY BENEFITS (continued)
menu-driven process for even novice users to quickly
and confidently configure the switch during initial
setup and manage it during normal operation.
Graphical switch and port views provide a clear
understanding of switch status and configuration.
In addition, the web interface features individual port-
traffic monitoring (port mirroring) and diagnostic tools
like ping and traceroute. A cable diagnostic tool lets
users troubleshoot basic connectivity problems via the
web management interface further simplifying
network installation.
IMC management platform. IMC is our next
generation fully integrated comprehensive
as defined by ISO, among other features. IMC
management software can be used to map the
network topology, indicating what devices are
connected, and on what ports. Switch management
and software upgrades can be easily done. Other
SNMP-based management tools may also be used.
The Switch family also supports a compact Command
Line Interface (CLI) that is accessed via the front panel
console port. Using the CLI, major switch management
options can be quickly configured.

DESCRIPTION
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.
Traffic prioritization, using IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) and Type of Service (TOS)
with Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP), and ingress/egress rate limiting help
ensure that critical time-sensitive traffic like voice gets the priority needed for quality
communications.
Group together up to 8 ports automatically using Link Aggregation Control Protocol
(LACP), or manually, to form an ultra-high-bandwidth connection to the network
backbone; help prevent traffic bottlenecks.
Improves network compatibility, scalability and availability.
Multicast filtering optimizes network performance, instead of flooding traffic to all ports.
Automatic assignment of voice traffic to separate VLANs (“auto-voice VLAN”), advanced
voice QoS, traffic limiting, multicast filtering and PoE support delivers the support
necessary for quality voice communications.
Achieve greater distance connectivity using gigabit fiber uplinks.
Daisychain multiple units together via the built-in copper Gigabit uplink ports or connect
to a network backbone via SFP-based fiber modules.
Provides power for IP phones, wireless LAN access points, and other IEEE 802.3af-
compliant devices over the same cable used for data; lowers total cost of ownership since
there is no need to run additional electrical wiring. Note: pre-std PoE Plus is also
supported allowing the switch to deliver up to 30W of power.
Provides standards-based security combined with local authentication.
Time based ACLs allow for greater flexibiliy with managing network access.
data stream to a monitoring port.
Graphical user interface allows even the most novice users to configure the switch during
initial setup and monitor it during normal operation.
Switch can be managed with 3Com IMC, Network Supervisor, Network Director and other
SNMP-compatible tools.
PoE power can be enabled or disabled per unit and per port; power can also be limited
per port.
Remotely detect copper cable issues using a browser-based tool.

Feature Summary
FEATURE DESCRIPTION
Traffic prioritization and auto-voice VLAN Traffic prioritization, using IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS), and automatic
assignment of VoIP traffic to dedicated VLANs help ensure that critical time-
sensitive traffic gets the priority needed for quality communications.
Outstanding value Take advantage of flexible, configurable and powerful switching that costs not
much more than an unmanaged switch.
Flexible Gigabit uplinks Daisychain multiple units together via the built-in copper Gigabit uplink ports or
connect to a network backbone via SFP-based fiber modules.
Enhanced browser-based user interface Easy-to-use user interface allows even the most novice users to configure the
switch during initial setup and monitor it during normal operation.
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.
Manual link aggregation (trunking) Group together up to 8 ports to form an ultra-high-bandwidth connection to the
network backbone; help prevent traffic bottlenecks.
Traffic monitoring (port mirroring) Administrators can examine suspect data streams received on any port by
mirroring the data stream to a monitoring port.
IEEE 802.1x network access control Provides standards-based security with EAP-MD5 protocol.
SNMP Switch can be managed with SNMP-compatible tools.
RSTP Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) detects and uses network topologies that
allow a faster STP convergence without creating forwarding loops.
IGMP snooping and query Multicast filtering optimizes network performance, instead of flooding traffic to
all ports.
Cable diagnostics Remotely detect cable issues using a browser-based tool.
SSL Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a security protocol providing secure connection
service for TCP-based application layer protocols.
LACP Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) based on the IEEE802.3ad standard can
be used for dynamic link aggregation and the switch only supports static LACP.
ACL Access Control Lists (ACLs) allow network managers to define classification
actions and rules for specific ingress ports.
LLDP The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) operates on the data link layer. With
LLDP, a device can store and maintain information about itself and the directly-
connected neighbor devices for network administrators to check link status.
Fanless design Silent operation whether used in a rack or desktop situation.
