Dell PowerConnect 3248and PowerConnect 5224SwitchesThe Dell™ PowerConnect™ 3248 andPowerConnect 5224 switches aredesigned to deliver exceptional levelsof performance and manageability atthe edge of the network.Space-Saving PerformanceThe PowerConnect 3248 provides 48 Fast Ethernet ports in a 1U form factor, ideal for a rack-dense, high performancewiring closet solution. Designed to deliver wire-speed Layer 2 switching performance across all ports, the switchintegrates – into the front panel – dual Gigabit Ethernet uplinks including built-in 1000BaseT ports and optional1000BaseSX and 1000BaseLX ports with transceiver modules. The PowerConnect 3248 is an ideal edge switch formedium and large enterprise networks.The PowerConnect 5224 incorporates 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a 1U form factor capable of wire-speed switchingthroughput with a total switching capacity of up to 48 Gigabits/second. The 24 ports are built-out as 10/100/1000BaseT ports, and four of these ports can accommodate optional 1000BaseSX and 1000BaseLX transceivers tosupport fibre media. The PowerConnect 5224 is an ideal switch for data centre connectivity, Layer 2 traffic aggregationand emerging Gigabit Ethernet client connectivity.Switch ManagementThe PowerConnect 3248 and PowerConnect 5224 support a variety of management interfaces, including aneasy-to-use embedded Web interface and an industry standard command line interface (CLI), which allows yournetwork administrator to utilise existing switch configuration skills. The switches can be managed remotely via a Webbrowser, Telnet or simple network management protocol (SNMP), and support a comprehensive managementinformation base (MIB) as well as four RMON groups. This broad management support helps ensure integration intoa variety of third party network management applications.RADIUS support enables centralised, remote authentication of administrative access to the switch. In addition,the switches can store dual configuration and firmware images, while supporting the upload and download ofconfiguration and firmware files to a server.Layer 3 and Layer 4 Traffic ClassificationGiving priority to data packets that are associated with critical network traffic is a key requirement for deployingemerging applications like video conferencing and voice-over-IP. The PowerConnect 3248 and PowerConnect 5224provide four priority queues per port. Packets can be classified based on the Layer 2 IEEE 802.1p standard, Layer 3 IPPrecedence or IP Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) standard, or Layer 4 standard utilising TCP/UDP ports(Layer 4 supported in PowerConnect 3248 only). This helps you increase your deployment flexibility andprotect your networking infrastructure investment.Advanced Protocol SupportSupporting emerging industry standards, both PowerConnect switches are designed to provide interoperability withyour core networking equipment and offer ease of use and availability. The supported standards include dynamicVLANs (GVRP), dynamic link aggregation (LACP) and IP Multicast (IGMP v1 and v2).Peripherals SupportOverall availability can be further increased by deploying the optional Dell PowerConnect RPS-600 redundant powersystem. Each PowerConnect RPS-600 provides a dedicated, redundant power supply for up to four PowerConnect 3248or PowerConnect 5224 switches, eliminating the switch’s internal power supply as a single point of failure.Moreover, the optional 1000SX and 1000LX optical Gigabit Ethernet transceivers are small form-factor pluggable (SFP)designs, and support distances between 220m and 5km, depending on the type of fibre media used.Dell PowerConnect 3248 and PowerConnect 5224 switches deliver performance and flexibility, while easilyintegrating into your existing network environment.Visit www.euro.dell.com for more information.Simplicity and performance.
