PowerConnect

™

Dell to provide a powerful switch with outstanding cost and power savings

The PowerConnect 2800 series is a switch family

of secure, fixed-port Gigabit Ethernet switches

delivering full wire-speed switching performance.

These switches offer four port densities, including 8,

16 , 24, and 48 port Gigabit Ethernet ports. In addition

the 2824 and 2848 have SFP slots in a combo port

arrangement that deliver fiber capabilities (SFP

transceivers optional). Auto MDI/MDIX and auto-

negotiation of speed, duplex mode and flow help

deliver exceptional control over your network traffic.

The PowerConnect 2800 family also supports jumbo

frames for networks that need to move large files

across the network.

Easy, powerful management

The PowerConnect 2800 series offers amazing value

by delivering web-management capabilities that

allow users to manage the switch through an intuitive

web interface. The web-interface allows the user to

easily manage the switch without the requirement to

learn CLI commands or integrating the switch into an

SNMP-based application, though a focused set of CLI

and SNMP commands are available for environments

requiring basic centralized remote management.

While some vendors may refer to their web-managed

switches as "smart switches", we like to think of our

switches as "power switches" powerful performance

coupled with powerful management capabilities.

Each switch is delivered in standard, unmanaged

mode. Convert the switch to web-managed mode

with the push-of-a-button on the front panel, and

then easily configure Quality of Service (QoS),

port-based virtual LANs (VLANs) and remote switch

monitoring. The firmware allows you to upgrade the

switch software as needed. The PowerConnect 2800

family also features technology to help reduce power

consumption per port by up to 96% on unused ports.

2800 series are web-managed, Gigabit Ethernet switches designed by

™

Easy web access to the managed features provides a

secure environment by offering password restricted

access. These switches also offer enhanced security

by allowing the user to specify which IP addresses

have access to the switch. Up to 64 industry-standard

VLANs are supported and four priority queues

help optimize network traffic using IEEE 802.1p

quality-of-service. Port mirroring allows users to

monitor network traffic for intrusion detection and

troubleshooting. To provide additional bandwidth

when connecting to other switches, the 2800

series switches support up to six link aggregation

groups consisting of up to four ports per group.

Advanced cable diagnostics help improve network

troubleshooting while the DHCP client feature

allows the switch to have an IP address assigned to

it dynamically by a DHCP server, or the integrated

DHCP server feature can be enabled to help

manage a small LAN. The PowerConnect 2800

series offers you more power so you can get more

out of your network!
