Summary

About this Document

Organization

Details document structure, covering system config, switching, routing, security, IPv6, QoS, multicast, utility.

Additional Documentation

Lists other Dell PowerConnect 6200 Series documentation like CLI Command Reference and User's Guide.

System Configuration

Traceroute

Discovers routes packets take, maps routes, detects network issues, and tracks hops.

Configuration Scripting

Generates, uploads, and applies text-formatted script files for system configuration.

Outbound Telnet

Establishes an outbound telnet connection between a device and a remote host.

Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)

Synchronizes network resources by providing synchronized network timestamps.

Syslog

Allows storing system messages and/or errors locally or on a remote syslog server.

Port Description

Specifies an alphanumeric interface identifier for SNMP network management.

Storm Control

Protects against traffic storms by dropping broadcast, multicast, or unicast traffic.

Cable Diagnostics

Determines cable connection status on selected ports using Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR).

Switching Configuration

Virtual LANs

Partitions the network into logical segments, improving administration, security, and management.

Voice VLAN

Carries voice traffic with defined priority to ensure sound quality for IP phones.

IGMP Snooping

Monitors IGMP transactions to conserve bandwidth by forwarding multicast traffic efficiently.

IGMP Snooping Querier

Performs IGMP snooping functions on a VLAN when an IP-multicast router is not present.

Link Aggregation/Port Channels

Treats multiple physical links as a single logical link for increased bandwidth and reliability.

Port Mirroring

Selects network traffic from specific ports for analysis by a network analyzer.

Port Security

Limits the number of MAC addresses on a port to prevent unauthorized access.

Link Layer Discovery Protocol

Allows interfaces to advertise capabilities and physical descriptions for topology identification.

Denial of Service Attack Protection

Protects the network and switch against various types of denial of service attacks.

DHCP Snooping

Monitors DHCP messages to filter harmful messages and build a bindings database.

sFlow

Industry standard for monitoring high-speed switched and routed networks using sampling.

Routing Configuration

VLAN Routing

Configures the switch to support routing between different VLANs.

Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol

Provides a backup mechanism to eliminate single points of failure in network routing.

Proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)

Allows a router to answer ARP requests for destinations not directly connected to it.

OSPF

Open Shortest Path First, an interior gateway protocol for large or complex networks.

Routing Information Protocol

An interior gateway protocol used for exchanging network topology information.

Route Preferences

Controls how the router chooses routes by assigning administrative preference values.

Loopback Interfaces

Software-only interfaces used for device management and stable IP addressing.

IP Helper

Forwards configured UDP broadcast packets to a specific IP address for applications.

Device Security

802.1x Network Access Control

Controls port access by enforcing authentication of supplicants attached to the switch.

802.1X Authentication and VLANs

Places ports into specific VLANs based on 802.1X authentication results.

Authentication Server Filter Assignment

Allows the authentication server to assign DiffServ policies to users based on authentication.

Access Control Lists (ACLs)

Defines rules to permit or deny traffic, providing security and traffic flow control.

RADIUS

Remote Authentication Dial In User Service protocol for centralized authentication.

TACACS+

Terminal Access Controller Access Control System for centralized access control.

802.1x MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB)

Supplemental authentication for 802.1x unaware clients using MAC address.

Captive Portal

Allows client access only upon user verification, for guest and authenticated users.

IPv6

Overview

Introduces IPv6 network operation and address structure, comparing it to IPv4.

Interface Configuration

Enables IPv6 routing on physical and VLAN interfaces, supporting auto-configuration.

Quality of Service

Class of Service Queuing

Provides preferential treatment to traffic types by configuring ingress/egress ports and queues.

Differentiated Services

Implements QoS policies by classifying traffic and handling it based on defined rules.

Multicast

Overview

Explains IP multicasting for efficient network bandwidth usage and group communication.

IGMP Configuration

Configures IGMP for IPv4 hosts to join/leave multicast groups for packet reception.

IGMP Proxy

Enables multicast routers to learn group membership and forward packets based on it.

DVMRP

Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol for building multicast distribution trees.

PIM

Protocol Independent Multicast for scalable inter-domain multicast routing.

Multicast Routing and IGMP Snooping

Combines multicast routing protocols with IGMP snooping for efficient traffic management.

Utility

Auto Config

Automatically configures a switch upon initialization when no configuration file is found.

Nonstop Forwarding on a Switch Stack

Allows forwarding plane to continue operations during control plane restarts in a stack.
