Dell POWERCONNECT 5524Dell PowerConnect 7024 24-Port Gigabit Managed Switch

Dell PowerConnect 7024 Certified Refurbished Enterprise Switch

The certified refurbished Dell PowerConnect 7024 is a Layer 3 managed Gigabit Ethernet switch featuring 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, 4 combo SFP/Gigabit ports, 176 Gbps switch fabric capacity, 125 Mpps forwarding rate, and stackable architecture supporting up to 12 units with dedicated 64 Gbps stacking bandwidth. This enterprise-grade networking solution delivers wire-speed Layer 3 switching capabilities, advanced security features, and energy-efficient operation in a compact 1U rack-mountable design, making it ideal for growing businesses requiring reliable, high-performance network infrastructure.

Ideal Use Cases

This professional-grade switch excels in medium to large enterprise environments, including data centres requiring high-density network aggregation, corporate wiring closets managing multiple departments, educational institutions with demanding network traffic, and businesses deploying VoIP systems with QoS requirements. The stackable design makes it perfect for organisations planning network expansion whilst maintaining centralised management, whilst the iSCSI optimisation capabilities ensure optimal performance for storage area networks and virtualised server environments.

Key Features and Benefits

Enterprise-Grade Performance: Wire-speed Layer 3 switching across all 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports ensures maximum throughput for mission-critical applications, eliminating bottlenecks during peak usage periods.

Flexible Connectivity Options: Four combo ports accept either SFP fibre modules or standard Gigabit Ethernet connections, providing deployment flexibility for both copper and fibre infrastructure requirements.

Scalable Stacking Architecture: Manage up to 600 ports from a single IP address by stacking up to 12 switches with dedicated 64 Gbps stacking bandwidth, simplifying network administration and reducing management overhead.

Optional 10GbE Uplinks: Support for dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink modules with SFP+ or 10GBASE-T interfaces ensures high-bandwidth connectivity to core network infrastructure.

Advanced Security Features: Comprehensive protection through 802.1x port-based authentication, DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, IP and MAC-based Access Control Lists, SSH/SSL encryption, and RADIUS/TACACS+ authentication.

Energy-Efficient Design: IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet architecture automatically reduces power to idle ports or ports in sleep mode, whilst the 80 PLUS-certified power supply minimises operational costs.

Simplified Management: Multiple management interfaces including CLI, embedded web server, SNMP, and USB auto-configuration enable rapid deployment without complex TFTP setups, perfect for remote site installations.

High Availability Features: Redundant power supply support, non-stop forwarding, fast failover in stack configurations, and VRRP protocol support ensure maximum network uptime.

VoIP and QoS Optimisation: Voice VLAN functionality prioritises VoIP traffic, whilst LLDP-MED provides detailed network topology and emergency call service information for IP telephony deployments.

iSCSI Storage Integration: Automatic detection and configuration of EqualLogic storage arrays optimises performance for storage area networks and virtualised environments.
