additional management authentication including RADIUS and TACACS+

as well as SNMP access filtering, the PowerConnect 5324 delivers user-

customizable network security capabilities.

• Support for standards-based advanced switching features as well

as standards-based remote management

The PowerConnect 5324 supports a variety of open standards to ensure

flexibility in optimizing your overall network performance (e.g., IEEE

802.1p Class-of-Service or IGMP snooping), availability (link aggregation)

and security. Also, an industry-standard CLI, web browser-based switch

management and SNMP-based management support a broad variety of

management needs.

• Easy, cost effective transition to Gigabit Ethernet to the desktop

Due to the built-in Copper Gigabit Ethernet ports, the PowerConnect 5324

provides cost effective ways to significantly improve your network

performance where Gigabit-enabled devices are implemented (as

compared to Fast Ethernet-enabled devices) – no additional modules have

to be purchased for the switch to enable Gigabit Ethernet performance.

• Ideal solution for customers with growing datacenters

The PowerConnect 5324 provides a high-performance, rack-dense solution

that delivers an all Gigabit Ethernet switch. The 1U form-factor allows you

to grow your datacenter while minimizing the amount of rack space

required. When the network has to cover large distances, the

PowerConnect 5324 can accommodate Fiber Gigabit Ethernet modules via

its SFP slots.

• Redundant power supply for enhanced availability

The optional redundant power supply helps improve system uptime and

reduce the potential for an inoperable switch.
