Introduction NOTICE: Before proceeding, read the release notes for this product. You can download the release notes from support.dell.com. The Dell™ PowerConnect™ 6024/6024F is a standalone Layer 3 switch that extends the Dell PowerConnect LAN switching product range. The switch includes the following features: • 1U form factor, rack-mountable chassis design • Out-of-band management port for RJ-45 and RS-232 connections.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com PowerConnect 6024F PowerConnect 6024F provides 24 SFP ports with 8 10/100/1000 Base-T RJ-45 combo ports that have an auto-sensing mode for speed, flow control, and duplex mode. SFP transceivers are sold separately. Figure 1-2.
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 about configuring MDI/MDI for ports or LAGs, see "Defining Port Configuration" or "Defining LAG Configuration." Hardware Watchdog Support The switch uses Hardware Watchdog to detect issues and take corrective action when the software stops responding.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com MAC Address Supported Features MAC Address Support The switch supports up to 16K MAC addresses and reserves specific MAC addresses for system use. Self-Learning MAC Addresses The switch enables MAC addresses to be automatically learned from incoming packets. Automatic Aging for MAC Addresses MAC addresses that have not seen any traffic for a given period are aged out, which prevents the Bridging Table from overflowing.
For information about configuring port mirroring, see "Defining Port Mirroring Sessions." Broadcast Storm Control When Layer 2 frames are forwarded, broadcast and multicast frames are flooded to all ports on the relevant VLAN. The flooding occupies bandwidth, and loads all nodes connected on all ports. Storm control limits the amount of multicast and broadcast frames accepted and forwarded by the switch. For information about configuring storm control, see "Enabling Storm Control.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Private VLAN Edge Private VLAN Edge (PVE) ports are a Layer 2 security feature that provides port-based security between adjacent ports within a VLAN. It is an extension of the common VLAN. Traffic from protected ports is sent only to the uplink ports and cannot be sent to other ports within the VLAN. For information about configuring PVE ports, see "Configuring Ports". Spanning Tree Protocol Features Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) per Device 802.
Link Aggregation Link Aggregation Up to seven ports can combine to form a single Link Aggregated Group (LAG). This enables fault tolerance protection from physical link disruption, higher bandwidth connections and improved bandwidth granularity. A LAG is composed of ports of the same speed, set to full-duplex operation. For information about configuring LAGs, see "Defining LAG Configuration.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) In IP routing, routers and Layer 3 switches use various routing protocols to discover network topology and define routing tables. ARP automatically determines Device Next-Hop MAC addresses of systems, including directly attached end systems. Users can override and supplement this by defining additional ARP table entries. For information about configuring ARP, see "Defining ARP Settings.
Layer 3 Features TCP Transport Control Protocol (TCP) connections are defined between 2 ports by an initial synchronization exchange. TCP ports are identified by an IP address and a 16-bit port number. Octets streams are divided into TCP packets, each carrying a sequence number. UDP Relay UDP Relay enables the device to forward specific UDP broadcasts from one interface to another. IP broadcast packets from one interface are not generally forwarded to another interface.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Class Of Service 802.1p Support The IEEE 802.1p signaling technique is an OSI Layer 2 standard for tagging and prioritizing network traffic at the data link/MAC sub-layer. The 802.1p traffic is classified and sent to the destination; no bandwidth reservations or limits are established or enforced. The 802.1p standard establishes eight levels of priority, similar to the IP Precedence IP Header bit-field.
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) PowerConnect 6024/6024F supports boot image, firmware and configuration upload/download via TFTP. Remote Monitoring Remote monitoring (RMON) is an extension to the SNMP that provides comprehensive network traffic monitoring capabilities (as opposed to SNMP, which allows network device management and monitoring).
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Out-of-Band Management Port Support An out-of-band management port is an external Ethernet port that carries only traffic between the system-administrator and the management applications. The out-of-band management port provides a physically secure link and also offers fault tolerance. Security Features Access Control Lists (ACL) ACL provides rules for forwarding or blocking network traffic.
RADIUS Client RADIUS is a client/server-based protocol in which the server maintains a user database, that contains per-user authentication information, such as user name, password and accounting information. For information about defining RADIUS settings, see "Configuring RADIUS Settings." SSH Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol that provides a secure, remote connection to a device. This connection provides functionality that is similar to an inbound telnet connection.

• * • ? • < • > • | Accessing the Switch Through the CLI The switch can be managed over a direct connection to the console port or via a Telnet connection. For information about out-of-band management ports, see "Out-of-Band Management Port." Using the CLI is similar to entering commands on a Linux system.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Using the CLI Command Mode Overview The CLI is divided into command modes. Each command mode has a specific command set. Entering a question mark at the console prompt displays a list of commands available for that particular command mode. In each mode, a specific command is used to navigate from one command mode to another. During the CLI session initialization, the CLI mode is the User EXEC mode. Only a limited subset of commands are available in the User EXEC mode.
To list the Privileged EXEC commands, type a question mark at the command prompt and press . To return from Privileged EXEC Mode to User EXEC Mode use any of the following commands: disable, exit/end, or . The following example illustrates accessing privileged EXEC mode and then returning to the User EXEC mode: console>enable Enter Password: ****** console# console#disable console> Use the exit command to move back to a previous mode.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Interface Configuration Mode Interface configuration commands modify specific IP interface settings, including bridge-group, description, and so forth. The Interface Configuration modes are: • VLAN — Contains commands to create and configure a VLAN as a whole, for example, to create a VLAN and apply an IP address to the VLAN. • Port Channel — Contains commands for configuring Link Aggregation Groups (LAG). • IP — Contains commands for managing IP interfaces.
Configuring the Switch This section describes the initial device configuration. After completing all external connections, you must connect a terminal to the device to monitor the boot and other procedures. The order of installation and configuration procedures is illustrated in Figure 5-1. For the initial configuration, the standard device configuration is performed. You can perform other functions, but doing so suspends the installation process and causes a system reboot.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Figure 5-1.
General Configuration Information Your switch has predefined features and setup configuration. Auto-Negotiation Auto-negotiation allows a device to advertise modes of operation and share information with another device that shares a point-to-point link segment. This automatically configures both devices to take maximum advantage of their abilities.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com The following is an example for changing the port speed on port g1 using CLI commands: Console (config)# interface ethernet g1 Console (config-if)# speed 100 The following is an example for enabling flow control on port g1 using CLI commands: Console (config)# interface ethernet g1 Console (config-if)# flowcontrol on The following is an example for enabling back pressure on port g1 using CLI commands. Backpressure works only for the 10-Mbps mode of operation.
Other Configuration Requirements The following is required for downloading embedded software and configuring the device: • ASCII terminal (or emulation) connected to the serial port (cross-cable) in the front of the unit • Assigned IP address for the switch for device remote control use with Telnet, SSH, and so forth NOTE: The configuration process defines only one port.

Configuring Routing Routing Overview Devices in different subnetworks communicate with each other using a Layer 3 router between the VLANs. Routing is enabled by default on your switch. However, at least one IP interface must be configured for the switch to begin routing network traffic. Routes are either statically configured, or are configured using Routing Information Protocol (RIP) or Open Shortest Path First (OSPF). For more information about RIP, see "Configuring RIP.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Figure 8-1. IP Forwarding Page Maximum Equal Cost Multipaths (ECMP) — The ECMP value, which must be defined when forwarding IP packets. The ECMP value indicates how many paths from the router to a network are available. The possible value range is 1-4. For example, a value of 1 indicates that there is only one path to the network. The higher the value, the more memory resources are required. Modifications to this field are effective only after the device is reset.
Viewing IP Forwarding Using the CLI Commands The following table contains the CLI commands for viewing IP Forwarding. Table 8-1. IP Forwarding CLI Commands CLI Command Description show ip route [address] Displays the current state of the routing table. ip maximum-paths number-paths Controls the maximum number of parallel routes installed in a routing table.

To define a static route to a host located on a remote network, select Remote for Route Type. To define a static route to a host located on the local network, select Local for Route Type. The Destination IP Address and Network Mask designates the remote network address. The Next Hop is the address of a router directly connected to your switch.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Configuring VRRP Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) specifies an elector protocol that dynamically assigns routing responsibility to one of the VRRP routers on the LAN (the master router). The election process enables dynamic failover of routing responsibility in case the master router becomes unavailable.
MAC, and accepts packets associated with the virtual IP addresses (only if the router owns the associated IP address). Initialize — The router waits for a startup event. When the startup event is received, the router transits to the appropriate state. Backup — The router backs up to the master router. The router continuously monitors if the master router is available by the periodic advertisements the master sends or by specific advertisements sent from the master announcing that it is going down.

Configuring Quality of Service The Quality of Service page contains links to the main QoS configuration pages. To open the page, click Quality of Service in the tree view. Quality of Service Overview Network traffic is usually unpredictable, and the only basic assurance that a network administrator can offer is best effort traffic delivery. To overcome this challenge, network administrators apply Quality of Service (QoS) throughout the network.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com • Assignment to Hardware Queues — Assigns incoming packets to forwarding queues. Packets are sent to a particular queue for handling as a function of the traffic class to which they belong, as defined by the classification mechanism.
There are two ways to apply ACLs to an interface: • Policy — In this form, ACLs are grouped together into a more complex structure, called a policy. The policy can contain both ACLs and QoS rules. The user can apply the policy to an interface (see "Advanced QoS Mode"). • Simple — In the simple form, a single (MAC or IP) ACL is applied to an interface. Although a policy cannot be applied to an interface, it is possible to apply basic QoS rules that classify packets to output queues (see "Basic QoS Mode").
www.dell.com | support.dell.com Table 10-2. DSCP Default Mapping Table DSCP Value Queue Number 0-7 q1 (Lowest Priority) 8-15 q2 16-23 q3 24-31 q4 32-39 q5 40-47 q6 48-55 q7 55-63 q8 (Highest Priority) NOTE: The DSCP values 3, 11, 19, 27, 35, 43, 51, and 59 are mapped to q1, q2 ... q8. These settings cannot be changed. • Layer 4 Predefined Fields—Configures the system to use the TCP/UDP destination port of the incoming packet to map the packet to the output priority queues.
Basic QoS Mode In basic QoS mode, it is possible to activate one of the Trust modes, including: • VPT • DSCP • TCP • UDP • None In addition, a single MAC-based or IP-based ACL can be attached directly to the interface (see Configuring Network Security for more information). Only packets that have a Forward action are assigned to the output queue, based on the specified classification.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com • Minimum Delay — The queue is assigned to a strict priority policy, and traffic is assigned to the highest priority queue. • Ingress Metering/Rate Limiting — A maximum bandwidth value is specified beyond which all traffic is dropped. This is done by setting a meter at the input for the maximum bandwidth, and setting the excess policy to drop. In order to effectively configure this service, the total bandwidth on a specific egress port cannot exceed the port rate.
