3Com Router 5000 Family
The 3Com Router 5009 & 5012 are designed with a modular structure which can support not only
integrated Fast Ethernet (FE) interfaces, AUX and Console ports, but also abundant optional
Smart Interface Cards (SICs) and Multifunction Interface Modules (MIMs). The Router 5009 &
5012 deliver high cost-performance ratio while compared with similar products. Therefore, it can
serve as not only an access router in a large-sized branch but also a core router in a small-and-
medium-sized Intranet. The Router 5012 is a rack-mounted 5009 with 32 Mbytes of flash
memory.
The 3Com Router 5231, 5640 & 5680 has 8 MB flash memory. 5231 has 3 MIM slots, 5640 has 4
MIM slots and 5680 has 8 MIM slots. The 3Com Router 5232, 5642 & 5682 has 32 MB flash
memory. They share the same slot configurations as 5231, 5640 & 5680. All the 5000 routers in
this class have integrated AUX & Console ports and 5231/5232 also has 2 built-in 10/100 ports.
These routers offer high performance with high scalability which can be used for Regional Office
and Head Quarters.
