DELL PowerConnect 6248P, Managed, L3, 10G Ethernet (100/1000/10000), Power over Ethernet (PoE), Rack mounting, 1U

210-19068 Overview

48 powered ethernet ports in a stackable switch with advanced layer 3 technology
One of Dell’s Most Advanced Switch Offerings
The PowerConnect 6248P is one of Dell’s most advanced switch offerings with advanced core switching capabilities for the small to medium enterprise. This 48-port Gigabit Ethernet Layer 3 switch is stackable, offers optional 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and supports the latest version of the Internet Protocol — IP version 6 (IPv6) — enabling broader worldwide scalability. Power over Ethernet capabilities provide support for power-dependent network applications including wireless, voice over IP (VoIP), video conferencing and badge reading. 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 VoIP, Layer 3 routing, high performance cluster computing (HPCC) and Internet SCSI (iSCSI) storage.

Lifetime Limited Warranty
PowerConnect switches not only provide the quality, reliability and capability you expect from Dell, but also the peace of mind that guarantees hardware for life — a true Lifetime Warranty.

High Density
Delivering significant rack density, the PowerConnect 6248P 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 twelve 62xx series switches to provide the maximum density, flexibility and manageability, and the stack is built on a 10/100/1000 Base-T Gigabit Ethernet switch.

High-Performance Stacking
The PowerConnect 6248P supports high-performance stacking for up to twelve systems (each running at 48 Gbps), which allows increased throughput to be added as needed without affecting network performance. With each switch supporting up to 184 Gbps in switch capacity, the customer can have almost 3 Terabytes of capacity in a single stack of 12 switches.

Power Over Ethernet
Enhanced Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities allow the 6248P to provide up to 15.4 watts of power for network attached devices like wireless local area network (WLAN) access points and VoIP handsets. (External power supply required for full 15.4 watts on all 48 ports).

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

Advanced Layer 3 Capabilities
The PowerConnect 6248P supports advanced Layer 3 routing and multicast protocols to help reduce congestion and manage traffic in the network. It also supports frequently used local area network (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).

Advanced Quality of Service (QoS)
The PowerConnect 6248P 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 L2 or L3 information, such as IP QoS, and provide greater control over traffic flow within the network. Voice 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 attacks and CPU attacks.

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