Target Markets/Applications
The PowerConnect 6000 Series is designed for customers who require
high-performance Layer 3 connectivity to resources like high-speed
network backbones and servers, or for customers who need LAN routing
at the edge of the network. Additionally, these routing switches are ideal
for customers with growing networks because of their support of copper
and fiber Gigabit Ethernet media to help future proof the network
topology.
• Traffic Aggregation to Network Backbone: The PowerConnect
6024F can form a Gigabit Ethernet aggregation layer/backbone via
its SFP fiber slots and the appropriate transceivers (1000SX or
1000LX). Also, seven Gigabit Ethernet aggregated links (with up to 7
member ports each) can be created to offer multi-Gigabit link
bandwidth as well as automatic fail-over in the case of a failed link
within the aggregation group.
• Cost-Effective Gigabit Ethernet Datacenter Switch: Up to 23 Gigabit-
enabled servers can be connected to the PowerConnect 6024 in the
datacenter to support Gigabit connectivity between datacenter
servers and the network core. Alternatively, 20 servers can be
connected to a PowerConnect 6024 while a trunk that supports 4
Gbps can be established as the uplink to the core or backbone. Other
combinations for each switch are also possible depending upon
individual datacenter needs.
• Mini-Core / Branch Office Solution: Customers needing a cost
effective solution for a branch office or mini-core Layer 3 application
can find the features they are looking for in the PowerConnect
6024/6024F. The PowerConnect 6000 series can easily accommodate
the routing needs of over 300 end stations. With dual integrated hot-
swappable power supplies and cooling fans in a 1U chassis, these
switches provide high availability in a small form factor. The
flexible port configuration allows for high speed Gigabit Ethernet
backbone and server connectivity. Users can enable static routes or
Layer 3 routing protocols like RIP v1/v2, and OSPF v1/v2.
Advanced Quality of Service features can also be deployed to shape
network traffic and groom bandwidth.
