Introduction PowerConnect 3424/3448 and PowerConnect 3424P/3448P are stackable, advanced multi-layer devices. PowerConnect units can function either as stand-alone, multi-layer, switching devices or stackable devices with up to six stacking members. This User Guide contains the information needed for installing, configuring, and maintaining the device. System Description PowerConnect 3424/3448 and PowerConnect 3424P/3448P combine versatility with minimal management.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com PowerConnect 3448 The PowerConnect 3448 provides 48 10/100Mbps ports plus two SFP ports, and two Copper ports which can be used to forward traffic in a stand-alone device, or as stacking ports when the device is stacked. The device also provides one RS-232 console port. The PowerConnect 3448 is a stackable device, but also functions as a stand-alone device.
Understanding the Stack Topology The PowerConnect 3400 series operates in a Ring topology. A stacked Ring topology is where all devices in the stack are connected to each other forming a circle. Each device in the stack accepts data and sends it to the device to which it is attached. The packet continues through the stack until it reaches its destination. The system discovers the optimal path on which to send traffic. Figure 1-3.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Once the user selects a different Unit ID, it is not erased, and remains valid, even if the unit is reset. Unit ID 1 and Unit ID 2 are reserved for Master enabled units. Unit IDs 3 to 6 can be defined for stack members. When the Master unit boots or when inserting or removing a stack member, the Master unit initiates a stacking discovering process.
• Saving to the FLASH • Uploading Configuration files to an external TFTP Server • Downloading Configuration files from an external TFTP Server NOTE: Stack configuration for all configured ports is saved, even if the stack is reset and/or the ports are no longer present. Whenever a reboot occurs, topology discovery is performed, and the Master learns all units in the stack. Unit IDs are saved in the unit and are learned through topology discovery.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Figure 1-4. PowerConnect 3448/P replaces PowerConnect 3448/P Same Configuration • Same Configuration Same Configuration If a PowerConnect 3448/P replaces PowerConnect 3424/P, the first 3448/P 24 FE ports receive the 3424/P 24 FE port configuration. The GE port configurations remain the same. The remaining ports receive the default port configuration. Figure 1-5.
Figure 1-6. PowerConnect 3448/P port replaces PowerConect 3424/P Port Same Configuration Same Configuration Switching from the Stack Master to the Backup Stack Master The Backup Master replaces the Stack Master if the following events occur: • The Stack Master fails or is removed from the stack. • Links from the Stack Master to the stacking members fails. • A soft switchover is performed with either via web interface or the CLI.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Features Overview This section describes the device features. For a complete list of all updated device features, see the latest software version Release Notes. Power over Ethernet Power over Ethernet (PoE) provides power to devices over existing LAN cabling, without updating or modifying the network infrastructure. PoE removes the need for placing network devices next to power sources.
MDI/MDIX Support The device automatically detects whether the cable connected to an RJ-45 port is crossed or straight through, when auto-negotiation is enabled. Standard wiring for end stations is Media-Dependent Interface (MDI) and the standard wiring for hubs and switches is known as Media-Dependent Interface with Crossover (MDIX). For information on configuring MDI/MDIX for ports or LAGs, see "Defining Port Configuration" or "Defining LAG Parameters.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com VLAN-aware MAC-based Switching The device always performs VLAN-aware bridging. Classic bridging(IEEE802.1D) is not performed, where frames are forwarded based only on their destination MAC address. However, a similar functionality can be configured for untagged frames. Frames addressed to a destination MAC address that is not associated with any port are flooded to all ports of the relevant VLAN.
VLAN Supported Features VLAN Support VLANs are collections of switching ports that comprise a single broadcast domain. Packets are classified as belonging to a VLAN based on either the VLAN tag or based on a combination of the ingress port and packet contents. Packets sharing common attributes can be grouped in the same VLAN. For more information, see "Configuring VLANs." Port Based Virtual LANs (VLANs) Port-based VLANs classify incoming packets to VLANs based on their ingress port.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Fast Link STP can take up to 30-60 seconds to converge. During this time, STP detects possible loops, allowing time for status changes to propagate and for relevant devices to respond. 30-60 seconds is considered too long of a response time for many applications. The Fast Link option bypasses this delay, and can be used in network topologies where forwarding loops do not occur.
BootP and DHCP Clients DHCP enables additional setup parameters to be received from a network server upon system startup. DHCP service is an on-going process. DHCP is an extension to BootP. For more information on DHCP, see "Defining DHCP IP Interface Parameters." Quality of Service Features Class Of Service 802.1p Support The IEEE 802.1p signaling technique is an OSI Layer 2 standard for marking and prioritizing network traffic at the data link/MAC sub-layer. 802.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com TFTP Trivial File Transfer Protocol The device supports boot image, software, and configuration upload/download via TFTP. Remote Monitoring Remote Monitoring (RMON) is an extension to SNMP, which provides comprehensive network traffic monitoring capabilities (as opposed to SNMP which allows network device management and monitoring).
Security Features SSL Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is an application-level protocol that enables secure transactions of data through privacy, authentication, and data integrity. It relies upon certificates and public and private keys. Port Based Authentication (802.1x) Port based authentication enables authenticating system users on a per-port basis via an external server. Only authenticated and approved system users can transmit and receive data.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Password Management Password management provides increased network security and improved password control. Passwords for SSH, Telnet, HTTP, HTTPS, and SNMP access are assigned security features. For more information on Password Management, see "Managing Passwords". Additional CLI Documentation The CLI Reference Guide, which is available on the Documentation CD, provides information about the CLI commands used to configure the device.

www.dell.com | support.dell.com Configuring SNTP Settings The switch supports the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). SNTP assures accurate network switch clock time synchronization up to the millisecond. Time synchronization is performed by a network SNTP server. SNTP operates only as a client, and cannot provide time services to other systems. The switch can poll the following server types for the server time: • Unicast • Anycast • Broadcast Time sources are established by Stratums.
Using Anycast polling to get time information for synchronizing device time is preferred to using Broadcast polling to get time information. However, this method is less secure than unicast polling, because SNTP packets are accepted from SNTP servers that are not configured on the device. Broadcast information is used when the server IP address is unknown. When a Broadcast message is sent from an SNTP server, the SNTP client listens to the message.

Configuring Quality of Service This section provides information for defining and configuring Quality of Service (QoS) parameters. To open the Quality of Service page, click Quality of Service in the tree view. Quality of Service (QoS) Overview Quality of Service (QoS) provides the ability to implement QoS and priority queuing within a network.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com NOTE: In a stacking configuration, Queue 4 is used for forwarding stacking traffic. Therefore, assigning additional traffic to Queue 4 may interfere with traffic forwarding. Packets arriving untagged are assigned a default VPT value, which is set on a per port basis. The assigned VPT is used to map the packet to the egress queue. DSCP values can be mapped to priority queues. The following table contains the default DSCP mapping to egress queue values: Table 9-108.
Defining QoS Global Parameters The QoS Parameters page contains links to pages that enable setting Quality of Service global parameters. Configuring QoS Global Settings The Global Settings page contains a field for enabling or disabling QoS. It also contains a field for selecting the Trust mode. The Trust mode relies on predefined fields within the packet to determine the egress queue.

www.dell.com | support.dell.com Auto-negotiation Allows 10/100 Mpbs or 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports to establish for the following features: • Duplex/ Half Duplex mode • Flow Control • Speed B Back Pressure A mechanism used with Half Duplex mode that enables a port not to receive a message. Backplane The main BUS that carries information in the switch module. Backup Configuration Files Contains a backup copy of the switch module configuration.
Bridge A device that connect two networks. Bridges are hardware specific, however they are protocol independent. Bridges operate at Layer 1 and Layer 2 levels. Broadcast Domain device sets that receive broadcast frames originating from any device within a designated set. Routers bind Broadcast domains, because routers do not forward broadcast frames. Broadcasting A method of transmitting packets to all ports on a network.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com D DHCP Client A device using DHCP to obtain configuration parameters, such as a network address. DSCP DiffServe Code Point (DSCP). DSCP provides a method of tagging IP packets with QoS priority information. Domain A group of computers and devices on a network that are grouped with common rules and procedures. DRAC/MC DRAC/MC. Provides a single point of control for Dell Modular Server System components. Duplex Mode Permits simultaneous transmissions and reception of data.
F FFT Fast Forward Table. Provides information about forwarding routes. If a packet arrives to a device with a known route, the packet is forwarded via a route listed in the FFT. If there is not a known route, the CPU forwards the packet and updates the FFT. FIFO First In First Out. A queuing process where the first packet in the queue is the first packet out of the packet. Flapping Flapping occurs when an interfaces state is constantly changing.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com I IC Integrated Circuit. Integrated Circuits are small electronic devices composed from semiconductor material. ICMP Internet Control Message Protocol. Allows gateway or destination host to communicate with a source host, for example, to report a processing error. IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. An Engineering organization that develops communications and networking standards. IEEE 802.1d Used in the Spanning Tree Protocol, IEEE 802.
L LAG Link Aggregated Group. Aggregates ports or VLANs into a single virtual port or VLAN. For more information on LAGs, see Defining LAG Membership. LAN Local Area Networks. A network contained within a single room, building, campus or other limited geographical area. Layer 2 Data Link Layer or MAC Layer. Contains the physical address of a client or server station. Layer 2 processing is faster than Layer 3 processing because there is less information to process.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com MD5 Message Digest 5. An algorithm that produces a 128-bit hash. MD5 is a variation of MD4, and increases MD4 security. MD5 verifies the integrity of the communication, authenticates the origin of the communication. MDI Media Dependent Interface. A cable used for end stations. MDIX Media Dependent Interface with Crossover (MDIX). A cable used for hubs and switches. MIB Management Information Base. MIBs contain information describing specific aspects of network components.
PING Packet Internet Groper. Verifies if a specific IP address is available. A packet is sent to another IP address and waits for a reply. Port Physical ports provide connecting components that allow microprocessors to communicate with peripheral equipment. Port Mirroring Monitors and mirrors network traffic by forwarding copies of incoming and outgoing packets from one port to a monitoring port. For more information on port mirroring, see Defining Port Mirroring Sessions.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com RSTP Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol. Detects and uses network topologies that allow a faster convergence of the spanning tree, without creating forwarding loops. Running Configuration File Contains all startup configuration file commands, as well as all commands entered during the current session. After the switch module is powered down or rebooted, all commands stored in the Running Configuration file are lost.
Subnet Sub-network. Subnets are portions of a network that share a common address component. On TCP/IP networks, devices that share a prefix are part of the same subnet. For example, all devices with a prefix of 157.100.100.100 are part of the same subnet. Subnet Mask Used to mask all or part of an IP address used in a subnet address. Switch Filters and forwards packets between LAN segments. Switches support any packet protocol type. T TCP/IP Transmissions Control Protocol.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com V VLAN Virtual Local Area Networks. Logical subgroups with a Local Area Network (LAN) created via software rather than defining a hardware solution. W WAN Wide Area Networks. Networks that cover a large geographical area. Wildcard Mask Specifies which IP address bits are used, and which bits are ignored. A wild switch module mask of 255.255.255.255 indicates that no bit is important. A wildcard of 0.0.0.0 indicates that all the bits are important.
