In conclusion, the Dell 469-4251 PowerConnect 8164 L3 48 Ports X 40-Gigabit QSFP+ Switch offers improved performance and increased bandwidth, making it a powerful and versatile solution for data center networks.
Simplified Network Management
The Dell PowerConnect 8164 is a 48-port L3 switch with 40-Gigabit QSFP+ ports. This switch offers simplified network management through its user-friendly interface and feature-rich software.
Some key features of the PowerConnect 8164 include:
- L3 Routing: The switch supports advanced L3 routing protocols such as OSPF, BGP, and RIP, providing robust and flexible network routing capabilities.
- Quality of Service (QoS): The switch supports granular QoS policies, allowing you to prioritize and manage bandwidth allocation for various applications and services.
- Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN): The switch supports up to 4,096 VLANs, providing a scalable and flexible network segmentation solution.
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP): The switch supports LACP for link aggregation, providing increased bandwidth and redundancy for critical network connections.
- Spanning Tree Protocol (STP): The switch supports STP, providing a loop-free network topology and reducing the risk of network failures.
- Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP): The switch supports SNMP, allowing you to monitor and manage the switch using industry-standard network management tools.
Network Resiliency and Redundancy Features
The Dell PowerConnect 8164 L3 48 Ports X 40-Gigabit QSFP+ Switch has several features that enhance network resiliency and redundancy. These features help to ensure that the network continues to function even in the event of a failure or disruption.
- Redundant Power Supplies: The switch has two hot-swappable power supplies that provide redundant power to the switch. If one power supply fails, the other can take over without any disruption to the network.
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP): LACP allows multiple physical links to be bundled together to form a single logical link. This increases the bandwidth and reliability of the network by allowing traffic to be distributed across multiple links in case of a failure.
- Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP): VRRP provides redundancy for IP routers. This protocol allows multiple routers to share a single IP address and provides automatic failover in case of a router failure.
- Spanning Tree Protocol (STP): STP helps to prevent network loops by blocking redundant paths in the network. This protocol ensures that there is only one active path between any two network nodes, reducing the risk of network loops and improving network stability.
- Quality of Service (QoS): QoS allows the switch to prioritize network traffic, ensuring that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and resources to operate effectively.
- Access Control Lists (ACLs): ACLs allow the switch to enforce security policies and control access to the network. This helps to prevent unauthorized access and protects against network threats.
These network resiliency and redundancy features provide a high level of reliability and availability for the network, ensuring that it continues to function even in the event of a failure or disruption.

About Refurbished Products
Different Types of Switches
Networking switches vary widely depending on the number of devices they can support, network bandwidth/speed, and form factor. Switches for small offices will have anything between 4 and 8 ports and can fit on a desk. For larger office network implementation, switches may have 24 ports, 48 ports, 96 ports, and 128 ports and are rack-mountable between 1U and 4U. Switches come in different types depending on the network speed and tasks they support. These include 40/100 Gbps, 10 Gigabit (up to 10000 Mbps), Gigabit Ethernet (up to 1000 Mbps), Power over Ethernet, and Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps).
Unmanaged Switches
The unmanaged switches offer fixed configuration on a plug-and-play basis. It is the most basic switch and there are a few choices in the market. These switches are affordable, but the basic features make them inappropriate for enterprise applications.
Managed Switches
The number of features and level of functionality improves with managed switches, making them ideal for enterprise and business applications. These switches are built with the command-line interface for ease of configuration. Equally, they support SNMP agents that come in handy when troubleshooting network issues.
The security on managed switches is better and will protect different types of traffic. Other features include support for virtual LANs, IP routing, and quality of service settings. Managed switches are more expensive compared to all other types of switches.
Smart Switches
Smart switches refer to switches that possess more features than those of unmanaged switches but do not have the full features of managed switches. Smart switches are more cost-effective than managed switches.
Some of the limitations of the smart switches are a lack of telnet access support, Web GUIs, and a lack of many features for VLANs. They are affordable compared to a fully managed switch and are suitable for a smaller computer network.
Modular Switches
Modular switches allow the addition of expansion modules as the network expands. The expansion modules allow for more networked devices but are application-specific. They may include wireless access points, firewalls, or network analysis tools. The flexibility of a modular networking switch comes at a higher cost.
