Introduction 23 Introduction NOTICE: Before proceeding, read the release notes for this product. Y ou can download the release notes from support.dell.com. The Dell™ P owerConnect™ 6024/6024F is a standalone Layer 3 switch that extends the Dell P owerConnect LAN switching product range.
24 Introduction www .dell.com | support.dell.com PowerConnect 6024F P owerConnect 6024F provides 24 SF P ports with 8 10/100/1000 Base - T RJ-45 combo ports that have an auto-sensing mode for speed, flow cont rol, and duplex mode. SFP transceivers ar e sold separately .
Introduction 25 Standard wiring for end stations is Media-Depe ndent Interface (MDI) and the standar d wiring for hubs and switches is known as Media-De pendent Interface with Crossover (MDIX). F or information about configuring MDI/MDI for po rts or LAGs, see "Definin g P ort Configuration" or "Defining LAG Configuration.
26 Introduction www .dell.com | support.dell.com MAC Address Supported Features MAC Address Support The switch supports up to 16K MAC addr esses a nd reserves specific MA C addr esses for system use. Self-Learning MAC Addresses The switch enables MAC addr esses to be au tomatically learned from incoming packets.
Introduction 27 F or information about configur ing port mirroring, see "Defi ning P ort Mirroring Sessions." Broadcast Storm Control When Layer 2 frames are forwar ded, broadcast and multicast frames are floo ded to all ports on the relevant VLAN.
28 Introduction www .dell.com | support.dell.com Private VLAN Edge P rivate VLAN Edge (PVE) ports are a Layer 2 securi ty featur e that provides port-based security between adjacent ports within a VLAN.
Introduction 29 Link Aggregation Link Aggregation Up to seven ports can combine to form a single Link Aggregated Group (LAG). This enables fault tolerance protection from physical link disrup tion, higher bandwidth connections and improved bandwidth granularity .
30 Introduction www .dell.com | support.dell.com Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) In IP routing, routers and Layer 3 switches use various routing protocols to discover network topology and define routing tables. ARP au tomatically determines Device Next-Hop MA C addresses of systems, including dir ectly attached end systems.
Introduction 31 Layer 3 Features TCP T ransport Control P rotocol (TCP) connections ar e defined between 2 ports by an initial synchronization ex change. T CP ports are identifi ed by an IP addr ess and a 16-bit port number . Octets streams ar e divided into T CP packets, each carrying a sequence number .
32 Introduction www .dell.com | support.dell.com Class Of Service 802.1p Support The IEEE 802.1p signaling technique is an OSI Layer 2 standard for tagging and prioritizing network traffic at the data link/MAC sub-layer . Th e 802.1p traffic is classified and sent to the destination; no bandwidth reservations or limits ar e established or enforced.
Introduction 33 T rivial File T ransfer Protocol (TF TP) P owerConnect 6024/6024F supports boot image, firm ware and configuration upload/download via TFTP .
34 Introduction www .dell.com | support.dell.com Out-of-Band Management Port Support An out-of -band management port is an external Eth ernet port that carries only traffic between the system-administrator and the management appli cations. The out-of -band management port provides a physically secure link and also offers fault tolerance.
Introduction 35 RADIUS Client R ADIUS is a client/server -based protocol in which the server maintains a user database, that contains per -user authentication information, such as user name, passwor d and accounting information. F or information about defining R ADIUS sett ings, see "Configuring RADIUS Settings.
