Purpose-built for next generation campusenvironmentsThe PowerConnect 8100 Series are line-rate, high density 10/40GbEthernet switches designed for Enterprise campus and mid-marketcore and aggregation deployments requiring high throughput andavailability. These high density 24-port and 48-port 10Gb switchesare ready for converged Ethernet environments supportingvirtualization, iSCSI storage, and 10Gb traffic aggregation. Togetherwith the PowerConnect 1 GbE switch portfolio, the 8100 switchesenable a campus fabric composed of 1 and 10GbE ports offeringfull routing functionality. Up to six switches can be stacked andmanaged with a single IP address to deliver network performanceand resiliency for enterprise networks.Enabling network convergenceThe PowerConnect 8100 Series support converged fabricrequirements for SAN and LAN networks with loss-less operationfor iSCSI environments with DCB (Data Center Bridging). iSCSItraffic can also be monitored at the fabric level, allowing theadministrator to track active iSCSI sessions. In addition, theseswitches deliver simplified connectivity with Dell EqualLogic™arrays. The iSCSI Auto-Configuration feature automatically detectsthe arrays and configures the switch for optimal throughput. Thisfeature is enabled by default, streamlining the process to justconnecting a cable.10 Gb performance and high availabilityThe PowerConnect 8100 Series brings the benefits of 10 and40Gb Ethernet to a compact and reliable switching platform, withthe quality and great service of Dell. Operating at wire speed, the8100 switches can deliver up to 960 Mpps throughput and a datarate of up to 1.2Tbps (full duplex) for both Layer 2 and Layer 3environments for wire-speed 10Gb and 40Gb Switching.The PowerConnect 8100 Series is designed for non-stopnetworking with high availability stacking, 10- and 40GbEcapabilities, dual hot-swap, redundant power supplies, andremovable fan modules. Up to 384 10GbE ports can bemanaged from a single screen using the highly-available stackingarchitecture, and the entire stack can be redundantly linked backto the rest of the network at 40Gb via the QSFP+ stacking ports.Fast stack failover enables sub-50ms failover scenarios within thesame stack. These switches also incorporate dual firmware imagesto allow for image promotions or image redundancy in a network.Other key features• Up to 64 10GbE ports of copper or fiber with module optionsin a 1RU form factor• Non-stop forwarding and fast failover in stack configurations• Converged network support for DCB, with Priority FlowControl (802.1Qbb), ETS (802.1Qaz), DCBx, iSCSI TLV Support• IPv4 and IPv6 routing, including OSPFv1/2/3 androuting enhancements• Private VLAN extensions and Private VLAN Edge support• Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD) support• AAA Authorization, TACACS+ Accounting, and RADIUSSupport for comprehensive secure access support• Pre-defined Administrative profiles/roles for switch access tomanagement functions• USB auto-configuration rapidly deploys the switches inminutes without setting up complex TFTP configurations orsending technical staff to remote offices.• Manage via a standard command line interface (CLI),embedded Web server, third party SNMP-based managementconsole applications (including Dell OpenManage NetworkManager), Telnet, or serial connections.• Designed to be easy on campus budgets with energy savingsfrom the power cord to the ports• Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) ports reduce per portpower consumption when link is idle or if ports are inactive• Efficient power supplies and multi-speed fan operation helpdecrease cooling and power costs• Tool-less Enterprise ReadyRails ™ mounting kits reduces timeand resources for switch rack installation• Operation in environments up to 50°C, helps reduce coolingcosts in temperature constrained deploymentsLifetime Warranty*Select PowerConnect switches are backed aLifetime Limited Warranty with Basic Hardware(repair or replacement) for life.
