Dimension ES-3024 Ethernet Switch
Getting to Know the ES-3024 1-3
Bandwidth Control
The ES-3024 supports rate limiting in 1Kbps increments allowing you to create different service plans
The ES-3024 supports IGMP snooping enabling group multicast traffic to be only forwarded to ports that
are members of that group; thus allowing you to significantly reduce multicast traffic passing through your
switch.
Broadcast storm control
Quality of Service
Four priority queues so you can ensure mission-critical data gets delivered on time.
Follows the IEEE 802.1p priority setting standard based on source/destination MAC addresses.
STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) / RSTP (Rapid STP)
(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows
a switch to interact with other (R)STP -compliant switches in your network to ensure that only one path exists
between any two stations on the network.
Cluster Management
Cluster Management allows you to manage switches through one switch, called the cluster manager. The switches
must be directly connected and be in the same VLAN group so as to be able to communicate with one another.
1.2 Applications
This section shows a few examples of using the ES-3024 in various network environments.
1.2.1 Backbone Application
In this application, the switch is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be expected in the
near future.
The switch can be used standalone for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect computers directly to the
switch’s port or connect other switches to the ES-3024.
In this example, all computers connected directly or indirectly to the ES-3024 can share super high-speed
applications on the Gigabit server.
To expand the network, simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, firewalls, print servers etc.
