Description
Product overview of the Dell S55T-AC
The S55T-AC Dell Force10 44 Ports 10/100/1000 Base-t Switch is a network switch manufactured by Dell Force10, a subsidiary of Dell Technologies. This switch is designed for enterprise-level networks that require high performance and reliability.
Ports and Speed
The S55T-AC switch has a total of 44 ports, all of which support 10/100/1000 Base-t Ethernet connections. This means that the switch can support up to 44 devices on the network with Gigabit Ethernet speeds, which can reach up to 1000Mbps.
Power Supply
The switch is powered by two hot-swappable 600W AC power supplies. The use of two power supplies ensures that the switch is always operational, even if one power supply fails. This is an important feature for networks that require high uptime and reliability.
Switch Fabric and Performance
The S55T-AC switch has a switch fabric capacity of 176 Gbps, which is the maximum amount of data that the switch can handle at one time. This switch fabric capacity allows the switch to support high-bandwidth applications, such as video streaming and large file transfers, without any performance degradation.
The S55T-AC switch has a forwarding rate of 132 Mpps (million packets per second), which is the number of packets that the switch can forward in one second. This high forwarding rate ensures that the switch can handle high volumes of traffic without any delays or dropped packets.
Management and Monitoring
The S55T-AC switch is a managed switch, which means that it can be configured and monitored through a web interface or command line interface (CLI). The switch supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), which allows it to be managed by network management software.
The switch also supports a variety of monitoring and diagnostic tools, including port mirroring, which allows traffic on one port to be mirrored to another port for analysis, and packet capture, which allows packets to be captured and analyzed for troubleshooting purposes.
Security
The S55T-AC switch supports a variety of security features to protect the network from unauthorized access and attacks. The switch supports IEEE 802.1X authentication, which requires users to authenticate before they can access the network. The switch also supports Access Control Lists (ACLs), which allow the network administrator to control which devices are allowed to access the network.
Quality of Service (QoS)
The S55T-AC switch supports Quality of Service (QoS) features, which allow the network administrator to prioritize traffic based on its importance. This is particularly useful for networks that have different types of traffic, such as voice and video, that require different levels of priority.
Overall, the S55T-AC Dell Force10 44 Ports 10/100/1000 Base-t Switch is a high-performance and reliable switch that is designed for enterprise-level networks. With its 44 Gigabit Ethernet ports, hot-swappable power supplies, and advanced management and security features, this switch is an excellent choice for organizations that require a powerful and flexible network infrastructure.
