Key Customer Benefits

• Support for standards-based advanced switching features as well as

standards-based remote management

The PowerConnect 5224 and 5212 support 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

(port trunking) and security (VLAN). 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

5224 and 5212 provide cost effective ways to significantly improve

your network performance where Gigabit-enabled devices are

implemented – no additional modules have to be purchased for the

switch to enable Gigabit Ethernet performance.

• Security features provide enhanced network security

With MAC-based port security, SSL and SSH traffic management

encryption, management authentication including RADIUS and

TACACS+ as well as SNMP access filtering, the PowerConnect 5224

and 5212 deliver user-customizable network security capabilities.

• Ideal solution for customers with growing datacenters

The PowerConnect 5224 and 5212 provide 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 5224 and 5212 can accommodate Fiber

Gigabit Ethernet modules via their SFP slots.

• Redundant power supply for enhanced availability

The optional redundant power supply improves system uptime and

reduces the potential for an inoperable switch.
