• Dell PowerConnect 2824

 

Function:

8K MAC addresses

VLAN-aware MAC-based Switching in Managed and Secure Modes
In Managed or Secure mode, the switch system always performs VLAN-aware bridging. Classic bridging
(IEEE802.1D) is not performed (where frames are forwarded based only on their destination MAC
address). However, a similar functionality may be configured for untagged frames. Addresses are
associated with ports by learning them from the incoming frames source address.

Short-Reach — Reduction of power over Ethernet cables shorter than 40m.

Port Based Virtual LANs (VLANs)
