• Support up to 4GbE connections per switch and up to 576 connections per stack of 12 systems.
• Help provide fast 10GbE connectivity directly to servers, routers, enterprise backbones and data centers with up to four 10Gb fiber (SFP+) ports and up to two 10GBase-T copper Ethernet uplinks.
• Connect at up to 10 times the speed of 10/100 networks, and help get the most out of your PC and server performance by matching your NIC speeds.
Efficiently connect your networks and manage traffic with support for Layer 3 routing and multicast protocols.
• Provide core-switching capabilities and connect your different networks and inter-virtual LAN traffic.
• Route your network traffic using a wide range of industry-standard LAN-routing protocols.
• Help increase your number of unique IP addresses and improve scalability with IP version 6 (IPv6) support.
Easily expand with high-density stacking
Grow your network as needed and help provide redundancy by stacking up to 12 Dell Networking 6200 series switches. Make the most of your expansion efforts with simplified deployment and configuration.
Prioritize your critical network traffic and optimize voice over IP (VoIP) performance with integrated quality of service (QoS) features.
• Gain improved control over network performance and make sure that time-critical traffic is prioritized.
• Help provide an ideal solution for unified communications, wireless access points, virtual desktops and Internet SCSI (iSCSI) storage.
• Implement integrated voice virtual LANs (VLANs) for VoIP applications.
Draw from a deep and rich set of management and security capabilities with Dell Networking 6200 series switches.
• Perform advanced administration on your Dell Networking switches using a familiar and intuitive command-line interface (CLI) or an easy-to-use, web-based graphical user interface (GUI).
