Page 6 January 2004 Features and Benefits The features and benefits of the PowerConnect 6024 and 6024F are shown in the following table. Table 2 Features, Functions and Benefits of the Pow erConnect 6.
Page 7 January 2004 Feature Function Benefit routing for small and medium sized networks. OSPF Open Shortest Path First routing protocol sends information to all nodes in the network to calculate the shortest path to each hop. Provides a method of determining the networks topology, flexible in a topology that is subject to changes.
Page 8 January 2004 Feature Function Benefit dynamic port-based VLAN configuration as per IEEE 802.1Q. provides dynamic VLAN configurations and reduces administrative tasks associated with static VLANs. 802.1p Priority Utilizes separate transmission queues for low and high priority traffic.
Page 9 January 2004 Feature Function Benefit provides encryption of management traffic when accessing the switch via CLI. IP Address Management Allows the network administrator to assign an IP address statically or dynamically.
Page 10 January 2004 accomplished with a broad variety of management tools like the Dell OpenManage Network Manager. • Advanced security capabilities With MAC-based port security, multi-layer Access.
Page 11 January 2004 Diagram 1 is an example of a resilient datacenter center designed using PowerConnect 6024 switches. This so lution provides high availability wire-speed Gigabit routing capabilities to access a large number of servers. Servers can be connected to the switches using either copper or fiber cabling.
Page 12 January 2004 switch all packets to the core. Data leaving th e stack of Edge Switch 1 with a destination address at Edge Switch 2 would not have to take the additional hops of going to the core of the network a nd then back out to Edge Switch 2.
Page 13 January 2004 With the Virtual Redundant R outing Protocol (VRRP), the PowerConnect 6024 switches will synchronize their routing tables with one another t o ensure fail-over support in the ev ent of a switch or link failure.
