Dimension ES-3024 Ethernet Switch

The ES-3024 supports IGMP snooping enabling group multicast traffic to be only forwarded to ports that are members of that group; thus allowing you to significantly reduce multicast traffic passing through your switch.

Quality of Service

Four priority queues so you can ensure mission-critical data gets delivered on time.

Follows the IEEE 802.1p priority setting standard based on source/destination MAC addresses.

STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)

STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a switch to interact with other STP-compliant switches in your network to ensure that only one path exists between any two stations on the network.

1.2 Applications

This section shows a few examples of using the ES-3024 in various network environments.

1.2.1Backbone Application

In this application, the switch is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be expected in the near future.

The switch can be used standalone for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect computers directly to the switch’s port or connect other switches to the ES-3024.

In this example, all computers connected directly or indirectly to the ES-3024 can share super high-speed applications on the Gigabit server.

To expand the network, simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, firewalls, print servers etc.
