Dell Powerconnect 6248 48-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch - GP931
Dell PowerConnect 6248
The Dell PowerConnect 6248 is one of Dell’s most advanced switch offerings with advanced core switching capabilities for the small to medium enterprise. This 48-port Giga bit Ethernet Layer 3 switch is stackable and offers optional 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and supports the latest version of the Internet Protocol—IPv6—enabling broader worldwide scalability. High performance stacking is supported for up to twelve systems, and advanced security and Quality of Service (QoS) features make this switch ideal for applications such as Voice over IP, Layer 3 routing, High Performance Cluster Computing (HPPC), and iSCSI storage. PowerConnect 6200 series switches also support automatic configuration which allows the switch to download configuration information on first boot, making complex configuration on new switches a thing of the past. |
