I have a client with a 3Com SuperStack II NETBuilder (3C8432), and he wants me to set it up for him. The only problem is that I have no experience with these routers and I can't find it's manual anywhere.

Does anyone know where I can find the manual for a 3Com SuperStack II NETBuilder (3C8432)?

Update: I cannot connect to this thing via it's serial console not matter what combo of settings I try... I need the docs, and neither HP (who now owns 3Com), nor the owner, has any docs on this device... Any help?

I'd suspect getting the NETBuilder working will cost as much as buying a replacement box; considering consultancy fees etc. A simple Cisco 1941 or similar would easily do the job of a NETBuilder 432 (unless you need legacy tokenring/FDDI interfaces etc).

However here are a couple of links for the software guides:

  • Thank you for those... They have helped immensely! And yes, I think he should move to a more modern router too (although for his small business network, I would go with running pfSense or Untangle on server hardware, but that's just me). – Soviero Sep 06 '11 at 16:52
