Dell PowerConnect 8100 Series User manual

Purpose-built for next generation campus
environments
The PowerConnect 8100 Series are line-rate, high density 10/40Gb
Ethernet switches designed for Enterprise campus and mid-market
core and aggregation deployments requiring high throughput and
availability. These high density 24-port and 48-port 10Gb switches
are ready for converged Ethernet environments supporting
virtualization, iSCSI storage, and 10Gb trac aggregation. Together
with the PowerConnect 1 GbE switch portfolio, the 8100 switches
enable a campus fabric composed of 1 and 10GbE ports oering
full routing functionality. Up to six switches can be stacked and
managed with a single IP address to deliver network performance
and resiliency for enterprise networks.
Enabling network convergence
The PowerConnect 8100 Series support converged fabric
requirements for SAN and LAN networks with loss-less operation
for iSCSI environments with DCB (Data Center Bridging). iSCSI
trac can also be monitored at the fabric level, allowing the
administrator to track active iSCSI sessions. In addition, these
switches deliver simplified connectivity with Dell EqualLogic™
arrays. The iSCSI Auto-Configuration feature automatically detects
the arrays and configures the switch for optimal throughput. This
feature is enabled by default, streamlining the process to just
connecting a cable.
10 Gb performance and high availability
The PowerConnect 8100 Series brings the benefits of 10 and
40Gb Ethernet to a compact and reliable switching platform, with
the quality and great service of Dell. Operating at wire speed, the
8100 switches can deliver up to 960 Mpps throughput and a data
rate of up to 1.2Tbps (full duplex) for both Layer 2 and Layer 3
environments for wire-speed 10Gb and 40Gb Switching.
The PowerConnect 8100 Series is designed for non-stop
networking with high availability stacking, 10- and 40GbE
capabilities, dual hot-swap, redundant power supplies, and
removable fan modules. Up to 384 10GbE ports can be
managed from a single screen using the highly-available stacking
architecture, and the entire stack can be redundantly linked back
to the rest of the network at 40Gb via the QSFP+ stacking ports.
Fast stack failover enables sub-50ms failover scenarios within the
same stack. These switches also incorporate dual firmware images
to allow for image promotions or image redundancy in a network.
Other key features
• Up to 64 10GbE ports of copper or fiber with module options
in a 1RU form factor
• Non-stop forwarding and fast failover in stack configurations
• Converged network support for DCB, with Priority Flow
Control (802.1Qbb), ETS (802.1Qaz), DCBx, iSCSI TLV Support
• IPv4 and IPv6 routing, including OSPFv1/2/3 and
routing enhancements
• Private VLAN extensions and Private VLAN Edge support
• Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD) support
• AAA Authorization, TACACS+ Accounting, and RADIUS
Support for comprehensive secure access support
• Pre-defined Administrative profiles/roles for switch access to
management functions
• USB auto-configuration rapidly deploys the switches in
minutes without setting up complex TFTP configurations or
sending technical sta to remote oces.
• Manage via a standard command line interface (CLI),
embedded Web server, third party SNMP-based management
console applications (including Dell OpenManage Network
Manager), Telnet, or serial connections.
• Designed to be easy on campus budgets with energy savings
from the power cord to the ports
• Energy Ecient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) ports reduce per port
power consumption when link is idle or if ports are inactive
• Ecient power supplies and multi-speed fan operation help
decrease cooling and power costs
• Tool-less Enterprise ReadyRails™mounting kits reduces time
and resources for switch rack installation
• Operation in environments up to 50°C, helps reduce cooling
costs in temperature constrained deployments
