Dell PowerConnect 3024 24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Network Managed Switch 8H448. The PowerConnect 3024 is a 24 port Fast Ethernet switch including two Gigabit Ethernet ports and two Gigabit stacking ports, also in a 1U form factor. With Fast Ethernet being today’s standard for PC connectivity, aggregation of workgroup traffic to the network backbone or to shared server and storage resources has become a performance bottleneck. With 10-times the bandwidth of Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet is the high-performance solution for traffic aggregation.

Features and Benefits:
- Enables full wire-speed switching across all ports, including Gigabit Ethernet ports and stacking ports. Take full advantage of the speed of the devices connected to these witch – the switch will not be the performance bottleneck.
- The maximum number of packets that can be forwarded through the switch per second. Take full advantage of the speed of the devices connected to the switch – the switch will not be the performance bottleneck.
- Provide 10-times higher bandwidth than Fast Ethernet ports. Help eliminate performance bottleneck at critical traffic aggregation points; use Gigabit Ethernet with standard Cat5 cabling.
- Accommodate various types of Fiber interface modules (e.g., 1000SX, 1000LX; modules sold separately). Flexibility to use fiber media if large distances have to be covered by the network.
- Provide Gigabit connectivity among stack members as well as single point of management for all stack members. Easy, high-performance expandability without increased management complexity.
- Virtual LANs combine a number of ports into distinct, separated subnetworks. Allows for limitation of broadcast domains as well as improved security.
- Groups up to eight ports together into a single, highbandwidth trunk. Increases bandwidth for critical network links (e.g., uplinks to a network backbone) and creates link redundancy.
- Detects ports that are participating in IP Multicast communication, e.g. multimedia streams. Limit broadcast traffic to those ports that are actually participating in the communication.
- Enables remote configuration and monitoring of the switch via a Web-browser or a SNMP-based management console application. Allows a network administrator to detect and remedy problems at local and remote locations.
- Automatically configures ports for speed, duplex mode, flow control and cabling used. Helps reduce network set-up time.
