C5N4W

Overview:

The PowerConnect 6224P Power over Ethernet (PoE) 24-port Gigabit Ethernet Layer 3 Switch provides resilient stacking and power over Ethernet capabilities. This switch has the following advantages:

• Ideal for power-dependant network applications.
• Optional 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks.
• Supports 10 GBase T and small form-factor pluggable + (SFP+) 10 GE Modules.

Features:

Advanced features with superb performance
The PowerConnect 6224P delivers a comprehensive feature set with superb performance for the small to medium enterprise. This 24-port Gigabit Ethernet Layer 3 switch is stackable and offers optional 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and supports the latest version of the Internet Protocol-IPv6-enabling broader worldwide scalability. Power over Ethernet capabilities provide support for power-dependant network applications including wireless, VoIP, video-conferencing and badge reading. The PowerConnect 6224P offers Enterprise class availability with failover times that provide for sub-250ms failover of any stacked switch, including master failure under all configurations. Furthermore, high performance stacking is supported for up to twelve systems, and advanced security and Quality of Service (QoS) features make this switch ideal for applications such as Voice over IP, Layer 3 routing, High Performance Cluster Computing (HPCC), and iSCSI storage. Advanced monitoring functions include sflow support, SNMP capabilities and a full GUI interface with graphical reporting. In the event of a switch failure, high availability functions maintain traffic flow in the stack, including mission-critical voice and storage sessions.

High Density
Delivering significant rack density, the PowerConnect 6224P is designed to give users the flexibility to maximize server and workstation connectivity in a 1U form factor. Up to 576 servers and/or clients can be connected in a stack of 12 62xx series switches to provide the maximum density, flexibility and manageability, and the stack is built on a 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet switch.

High Performance Stacking
The PowerConnect 6248P switch supports up to four 10 Gigabit fiber (SFP+) & two 10GBase-T copper Ethernet uplinks for connectivity directly to 10GE servers, routers, enterprise backbones and data centers.

Power over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet capabilities allow the 6224P to provide up to 15.4 Watts of power for network attached devices like wireless local area networks (WLAN) access points and VoIP handsets.

Optional 10 Gigabit Ethernet
The PowerConnect 6248P switch supports up to four 10 Gigabit fiber (SFP+) & two 10GBase-T copper Ethernet uplinks for connectivity directly to 10GE servers.

Advanced Layer 3 Capabilities
The PowerConnect 6224P supports advanced Layer 3 routing and multicast protocols to help reduce congestion and manage traffic in the network. Frequently used LAN routing protocols such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP) v1/v2, Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) v2/v3, Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP), Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP), Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) and Link Layer Discovery Protocol - Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED), are also supported.

Advanced Quality of Service
The PowerConnect 6224P offers flexibility in QoS by giving network administrators the ability to prioritize time-critical network traffic based on a variety of user-defined criteria. Administrators can expedite traffic based on level 2 (L2) or level 3 (L3) information, such as IP QoS, and provide greater control over traffic flow within the network. Voice virtual LANs (VLANs) are provided specifically for VoIP applications.

Advanced Security
Access Control Lists (ACLs) can be supported on the switch, allowing the user to perform deep packet inspection. 802.1x port authentication offers both single and multiple host access. Further security is provided through Denial of Service (DoS) Attack Prevention, whereby the switch can help protect against common network and CPU attacks.

IP Version 6 Certified
IPv6 is version six of the Internet Protocol that has been in development for over 20 years. IPv6 has been designed to address IP address limitations of the previous version of the Internet Protocol, enabling an increased number of unique IP addresses for broader scalability worldwide, now and in the future.
