Dell Powerconnect 2824 Reset Password3/11/2019 Dell PowerConnect 28xx Systems User Guide 19 PowerConnect 2824 Front. Physical connections of a combo port can switch from the RJ-45 to reset the Dell PowerConnect 28xx Systems User Guide 41. (next hop router) IP address for configuring the default route. Username and Password. Dell PowerConnect 2848 & 2824. Discussion in 'Networking & Security' started by turb0, May 24, 2011. I run all powerconnect at home, and have a couple customers that are all dell shops that run them. No, create an account now. Yes, my password is: Forgot your password? Stay logged in. Thought I'd run this past you guys and get some additional perspective. Considering building a colocated infrastructure based around the now popular Dell C6100. Initially looking for two LAN switches, plus a single back-end (backup network) switch. This last one is not a storage network, simply backups. No iSCSI, VoIP, little to no VLAN'ing, etc. Any aggregation would not be LACP. Looking at the specifications, both are listed as wire speed (switch fabric 48 Gbps) and forwarding rate 35.6 Mpps. The PC 5424 has been a solid switch for me (have them in my office, and at client sites). But the last FW is over two years old, and they are used equipment. The PC2824 list the same specifications, and retails for only about $70 more than what a used PC 5424 sells for currently. Add in the fact that they are new, 3 year warranty, latest firmware was 12/2012 and I feel that I should give it a chance? What sayeth ye? Click to expand.Good point. I looked up the 2824. It is listed at '1.0A @ 100V'. Then I noticed that the same is listed for the 2808, 2816, 2824 and 2848. So, according to Dell, the 8 port switch with no SFP slots and passive cooling will draw the same amount as the 48 port switch with active (fan) cooling, 4 SFP slots, and 40 more ports!! So I'm going to go out on a limb and guess they simply have entered the maximum imagined power draw of the largest switch in the product line. On the 5424, perhaps my Google-fu is failing, but I found zilch about it anywhere. Click to expand.I know they are spoken well of, I just don't have a high opinion of 3Com switches. Have some slightly older gigabit L2 stuff of theirs at one client site with about 12 switches and the GUI is awful, that model doesn't hold time/date through a power cycle, the SNMP is buggy, the 'Network Director' software is Java-based rubbish, on and on. I'm also a Dell Partner, deploying a solution with Dell (really SM, but anyway) servers, so doing buildout with HP switching would be a bit 'funny'. Thanks for the comment. I suggest a pair of netgear XS708E switches. 10G-base-T for $800 each. Does dell have a comparable switch, i'd be glad to give it a shot myself though Dell switches are generally sucky (ISCSI ones are my experience). Procurve are consistent and web-management is doing it wrong. The 1910-V2 is quite nice, far superior to the v1 model. It's basically a 2510G which is an extremely reliable low end switch. And unlike dell, hp doesn't ask for proof of ownership/receipt to get your free advance swap on anything. That 'LSI' card in the dl380 server is dead, sure here's a replacement because that server is less than 3 years old. Not the dell 'Prove you are the owner or we aren't even going to talk to you' bull honkey. You got a source for the XS708E @ ~$800? Lowest I can find is Provantage at almost $900.
