Introduction 11 Introduction Dell™ P o werConnect™ 3524/3548 and P owerC onnect 3524P/3548P are stackable, advanced multi-layer devices. P o werConnect units can functio n either as stand-alone, multi-layer , switching devices or stackable devices with up to eight stacking members.
12 Introduction PowerConnect 3548 The P owerConnect 3548 provides 48 10/100Mbps ports p lus two SFP ports, and two Copper ports which can be used to forward traffic in a stand-alone devi ce, or as stacking ports when the device is stack ed. The device also provides one RS-232 console port.
Introduction 13 Understanding the Stack T opology The P owerConnect 35xx series systems operates in a R ing topology . A stacked Ring topology is wher e all devices in the stack are connected to each other formin g a circle. Each device in the stack accepts data and sends it to the device to which it is attached.
14 Introduction The device units are shipped with a default Unit ID of the stand-alone unit. If t he device is operating as a stand-alone unit, all stacking LEDs are off. Once the user selects a different Unit ID, it is not erased, and remains valid, even if the unit is r eset.
Introduction 15 Each port in the stack has a specific Unit ID, port type, and port num ber , which are part of both the configuration commands and the configuration files.
16 Introduction Figure 1-4. PowerConnect 3548/P replaces PowerC onnect 3548/P • If a P owerConnect 3548/P replaces P owerConnect 3524/P , the first 3548/P 24 FE ports r eceive the 3524/P 24 FE port configuration. Th e GE port configurations rema in the same.
Introduction 17 Figure 1-6. PowerConnect 3548/P port replaces PowerConect 3524/P Port Switching from the Stack Master to the Backup Stack Master The Backup Master replaces the Stack Master if the following events occur: • The Stack Master fails or is removed from the stack.
18 Introduction •P D A s • Audio and video r emote monitoring F or more information about P ower over Et hernet, see "Managing P ower over Ethernet". Head of Line Blocking Prevention Head of Line (HOL) blocking results in traffic delays and frame loss caused by traffic competing for the same egress port r esources.
Introduction 19 The P owerConnect 35xx series systems enhances auto negotiation by providing port advertisement. P ort advertisement allows the system administrator to configure the port speeds that ar e advertised. F or more information on auto-negotiation, see "Definin g P ort Configuration" or "Defining LAG P arameters.
20 Introduction VLAN-aware MAC-based Switching The device always performs VLAN-aware bridging. Classic bridging(IEEE802.1D) is not performed, where frames ar e forwarded based only on their destination MAC addr ess. However , a similar functionality can be configured for untagged frames .
Introduction 21 VLAN Supported Features VLAN Support VLANs are collections of switching ports that comprise a single broadcast domain. P ackets ar e classified as belonging to a VLAN based on either the VLAN ta g or based on a combination of the ingress port and packet contents.
22 Introduction Fast Link STP can take up to 30-60 seconds to conver ge. Durin g this time, STP detects possible loops, allowing time for status changes to propagate and for relevant devices to r espond. 30-60 seconds is considered too long of a response time for many applications.
Introduction 23 BootP and DHCP Clients DHCP enables additional setup para meters to be r eceived from a network server upon system startup. DHCP service is an on-going process. DHCP is an extension to BootP . F or more information on DHCP , see "Def ining DHCP IPv4 Interface P arameters.
24 Introduction TF TP T rivial File T ransfer Protocol The device supports boot image, software, an d configuration upload/download via TFTP . Remote Monitoring Remote Monitoring (RMON) is an extensio.
Introduction 25 802.1ab (LLDP-MED) The Link Layer Discovery P rotocol (LLDP) allows network managers to troubleshoot and enhance network management by discovering and mainta ining network topologies over multi-vendor environments.
26 Introduction SSH Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol that provides a secur e, remote connection to a device. SSH version 2 is currently supported. The SSH serv er featur e enables an SSH client to establish a secure, encrypted connection with a device.
Hardware Description 27 Hardware Description Port Description PowerConnect 3524 Port Description The Dell™ P owerConnect™ 3524 device is configured with the following ports: • 24 F ast Ethernet .

The following figure illustrates the LEDs on the front panel. Figure 2-10. Stacking LEDs T able 2-5. Sy stem LED Indicators LED Color Description P ower Supply (PWR) Gr een Static The switch is turned on.
Hardware Description 35 The Stacking LEDs are number ed 1- 8. Each stacking unit has one stacking LED lit, indicating its Unit ID number . If either Stacking LED 1 or 2 is lit, it in dicates that the device is either the Stack Master or Backup Master .
36 Hardware Description Figure 2-11. Power Connection When the device is connected to a di fferent power source, the probabil ity of failure in the event of a power outage decreases. Stack ID Button The device front panel contains a Stack ID button us ed to manually select t he Unit ID for the Stack Master and members.
Hardware Description 37 Reset Button The P owerConnect 3524/P and P owerC onnect 3548/P switches have a rese t button, located on the front panel, for manual reset of the device. If the Master de vice is r eset, the entire stack is r eset. If only a member unit is reset, the r emain stacking members are not reset.
