6200
Series Switches
High Density
The PowerConnect 6200 series will offer versions with 24 and 48 ports of 10/100/1000 BASE-
T Gigabit Ethernet
1
. Delivering signicant rack density, the PowerConnect 6200 gives users
the exibility to maximize server and workstation connectivity in a 1U form factor. Up to 576
servers and/or clients can be connected in a stack of 6200 series switches to help provide the
maximum density, exibility and manageability.
High Performance Stacking
The PowerConnect 6200 series supports high performance resilient stacking up to twelve
systems, which allows increased throughput to be added as needed without affecting network
performance. With each switch supporting up to 232Gbps in switch capacity, the customer can
have almost 3 Terabytes of capacity in a single stack!
10 Gigabit Ethernet
1
The PowerConnect 6200 series switches support up to four 10 Gigabit Ethernet
1
uplinks for
connectivity directly to 10GE routers, enterprise backbones and data centers.
Advanced Layer 3 Capabilities
The PowerConnect 6200 series supports advanced Layer 3 routing and multicast protocols
to help reduce congestion and manage trafc in the network. The PowerConnect 6200 series
supports frequently used LAN routing protocols such as RIPv1/v2, OSPFv2/v3, VRRP, IGMP,
DVMRP and PIM.
Advanced QoS
The PowerConnect 6200 offers exibility in Quality of Service (QoS) by giving network
administrators the ability to prioritize time-critical network trafc based on a variety of user-
dened criteria. Administrators can expedite trafc based on L2 or L3 information, such as IP
ToS, and provide greater control over trafc ow within the network.
Advanced Security
Support for up to 1024 L2-L4 Access Control Lists (ACLs) on the switch allows the user to
perform deep packet inspection. 802.1x port authentication offers both single and multiple
host access. Further security is provided through Denial of Service (DoS) Attack Prevention,
whereby the switch can protect against common network attacks, such as Blat, Land, Smurf,
Ping of Death, Xmascan, Nullscan, Scan SYNFIN, in addition to CPU attacks, such as VLAN
ooding, TCP SIM, TCP port scan, IP address Spoong and MAC address spoong.
IPv6 Ready
IPv6 is version six of the “Internet Protocol” that has been in development for over 20 years.
IPv6 has been designed to address IP address limitations of previous version of the Internet
Protocol, enabling an increased number of unique IP addresses for broader scalability
worldwide now and in the future.
Value and Flexibility
ThePowerConnect 6200 series offers additional value because the unique modular design
allows you to upgrade to advanced stacking or 10 Gigabit Ethernet
1
only when you need it. Plus
we offer further exibility and value with the optional modules that allow for either 10 Gigabit
1
optical or CX-4 copper interfaces, or both, based on your needs.
The PowerConnect
™
6200 series is Dell’s
most advanced switching product line,
offering advanced switching capabilities
including high density, high performance
stacking and 10 Gigabit Ethernet
1
capabilities scalable from the small
business to the Enterprise Edge.
