Description
Product Overview
The Dell Networking S3148p is a 48-port, managed switch that is designed to provide reliable and high-speed network connectivity for medium to large businesses. The switch is rack-mountable, making it an ideal choice for data centers and server rooms where space is at a premium. In this article, we will discuss the key features and benefits of the Dell Networking S3148p switch.
Key Features
The Dell Networking S3148p switch is a Layer 3, managed switch that comes with 48 ports. The switch supports a range of network protocols, including IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.3z, and IEEE 802.3ae. The switch also supports advanced features such as VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS), and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).
The switch is equipped with four SFP+ ports, which can be used to connect to other switches or to connect to high-speed storage devices. The switch also comes with four built-in 10GBase-T copper ports, which can be used to connect to other switches or to connect to servers and workstations that require high-speed network connectivity.
The Dell Networking S3148p switch supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), which allows users to power network devices such as IP phones and wireless access points directly from the switch. The switch is also Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) compliant, which reduces power consumption during periods of low network activity.
The switch is managed using Dell’s OpenManage Network Manager software, which provides users with a centralized management platform for monitoring and configuring network devices. The software allows users to manage multiple switches from a single console, reducing the complexity of network management.
