Dell PowerConnect 5212 12-Port Switch
Description
Dell PowerConnect 5212 12-Port High-Performance Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch 9Y198. Dell PowerConnect 5212 switches are designed to deliver Gigabit Ethernet performance with enterprise-class management features for server or workstation connectivity and network traffic aggregation. Network traffic prioritization is a key requirement for deploying emerging applications like videoconferencing and voice-over-IP. The PowerConnect 5212 switches provide four priority queues per port. Packets can be classified based on the Layer 2 IEEE 802.1p standard as well as the Layer 3 IP Precedence or IP Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) standard. These capabilities help increase deployment flexibility and protect networking infrastructure investments.

Features and Benefits:
Support for standards-based advanced switching features as well as standards-based remote management. The PowerConnect 5212 supports 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 2 ports, the PowerConnect 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 5212 deliver user-customizable network security capabilities.
Ideal solution for customers with growing datacenters. The PowerConnect 5212 provides 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.
