The following table describes the significant fields shown in the display:

Field

Description

 

 

Dropped

The total number of events in which packets are dropped by the probe due to

 

lack of resources. This number is not always the number of packets dropped;

 

it is the number of times this condition has been detected.

 

 

Octets

The total number of octets of data (including those in bad packets) received

 

on the network (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets).

 

 

Packets

The total number of packets (including bad packets, broadcast packets, and

 

multicast packets) received.

 

 

Broadcast

The total number of good packets received and directed to the broadcast

 

address. This does not include multicast packets.

 

 

Multicast

The total number of good packets received and directed to a multicast

 

address. This number does not include packets directed to the broadcast

 

address.

 

 

CRC Align Errors

The total number of packets received with a length (excluding framing bits,

 

but including FCS octets) of between 64 and 1518 octets, inclusive, but with

 

either a bad Frame Check Sequence (FCS) with an integral number of octets

 

(FCS Error) or a bad FCS with a non-integral number of octets (Alignment

 

Error).

 

 

Undersize Pkts

The total number of packets received less than 64 octets long (excluding

 

framing bits, but including FCS octets) and otherwise well formed.

 

 

Oversize Pkts

The total number of packets received longer than 1518 octets (excluding

 

framing bits, but including FCS octets) and otherwise well formed.

 

 

Fragments

The total number of packets received less than 64 octets in length (excluding

 

framing bits but including FCS octets) and either a bad Frame Check

 

Sequence (FCS) with an integral number of octets (FCS Error) or a bad FCS

 

with a non-integral number of octets (Alignment Error).

 

 

Jabbers

The total number of packets received longer than 1518 octets (excluding

 

framing bits, but including FCS octets), and either a bad Frame Check

 

Sequence (FCS) with an integral number of octets (FCS Error) or a bad FCS

 

with a non-integral number of octets (Alignment Error).

 

 

Collisions

The best estimate of the total number of collisions on this Ethernet segment.

 

 

64 Octets

The total number of packets (including bad packets) received that are 64

 

octets in length (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets).

 

 

65 to 127 Octets

The total number of packets (including bad packets) received that are

 

between 65 and 127 octets in length inclusive (excluding framing bits but

 

including FCS octets).

 

 

128 to 255 Octets

The total number of packets (including bad packets) received that are

 

between 128 and 255 octets in length inclusive (excluding framing bits but

 

including FCS octets).

Dell 5324 manual 226, Field Description

5324 specifications

The Dell 5324 is a high-performance network switch that is designed to meet the demands of modern enterprise networking. This switch represents a blend of advanced features aimed at enhancing network efficiency, reliability, and scalability, which are crucial for businesses looking to optimize their infrastructure.

One of the standout features of the Dell 5324 is its Layer 3 routing capabilities. It supports static routing and various dynamic routing protocols, including RIP, OSPF, and BGP, allowing for efficient data transfer across complex networks. This capability is particularly beneficial for organizations that require robust inter-VLAN routing and seamless connectivity with multiple network segments.

The Dell 5324 comes equipped with 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, which provide ample connectivity options for devices within the network. Additionally, it includes four 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports, enabling users to integrate high-speed uplinks easily. This flexibility allows businesses to expand their network as demand grows without the need for a completely new setup.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) support is another significant advantage of the Dell 5324, as it enables the switch to deliver both data and power to connected devices through a single Ethernet cable. This feature is particularly useful for powering IP phones, security cameras, and Wi-Fi access points, simplifying the overall cabling and ensuring a neater installation.

Furthermore, the Dell 5324 offers advanced security features that help protect the network from unauthorized access and potential threats. It includes features such as 802.1X port-based authentication, MAC address filtering, and VLAN segmentation, ensuring that only authorized devices can connect to the network.

The user-friendly web-based interface alongside command-line interface (CLI) access enhances manageability, allowing network administrators to monitor performance, configure settings, and troubleshoot issues with ease. In addition, the switch supports network automation protocols, which can streamline management tasks and improve efficiency.

The industrial-grade design of the Dell 5324 ensures its reliability in various environments, making it a suitable choice for data centers and enterprise networks alike. With its combination of performance, scalability, and security features, the Dell 5324 stands out as a capable solution for organizations looking to improve their network infrastructure. Its capabilities make it a versatile addition for businesses aiming for a robust and future-ready networking environment.
