Overview
The 3Com 3C17300A 26 port Ethernet switch combines wire-speed Layer 2 switching with easy installation and exceptional reliability. Twenty-four auto-sensing 10/100 copper ports provide flexible desktop and workgroup attachments, while two auto-sensing 10/100/1000 copper uplink ports enable Gigabit Ethernet backbone and server connections.
Resiliency features such as Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol and link aggregation (for the 10/100/1000 ports) help ensure uptime. Built-in Gigabit ports can be used as uplinks or for stacking with a mix of other Switch 4200 26, 28, and 50 Port units.
