With the Virtual Redundant Routing Protocol (VRRP), the PowerConnect 6024 switches will synchronize their routing tables with one another to ensure fail-over support in the event of a switch or link failure. Additionally, the PowerConnect 6024 can be configured with up to seven trunk groups (with a maximum) of seven ports in a trunk group to provide high performance link aggregation.
Both a Web-based GUI and a Command Line Interface are available to manage the device. The PowerConnect 6024 can also be managed remotely via common SNMP management tools and supports switch access password protection. SNMP access filtering is used to provide secure access to the device along with SSH/SSL encryption of the management traffic. Dell OpenManage IT Assistant provides a single console to manage your servers, workstations and network switches. If a more advanced network management tool is required, Dell’s OpenManage Network Manager allows you to easily administer your managed PowerConnect switches in a one-to-many fashion.
Application benefits include:
-High availability
-High-performance connectivity to server workgroups
-Scalability
-Security
-Remote management capabilities
