Is the PowerConnect 5524 stackable?

Yes, it includes 2x HDMI stacking ports providing 10 Gbps per port full duplex, allowing up to 8 switches to be managed as a single unit from one IP address. Shared SFP+ uplinks enable redundant 10G connections across the stack for simplified scalability.

What is the switching performance?

The switch offers 128 Gbps switching fabric capacity and 65.47 Mpps forwarding rate, supporting up to 16,000 MAC addresses and 65 Layer 3 static routes. It handles jumbo frames up to 10K and up to 32 LACP aggregated links for non-blocking throughput.

What management options are available?

Manageable via industry-standard CLI, embedded web server, SNMP, Telnet, or serial console. USB auto-configuration enables rapid deployment by importing configs, with features like port profiles, dual firmware images, and LLDP for multi-vendor environments.

Does it support Layer 3 features?

Yes, as a Layer 2/3 switch, it supports up to 65 static IPv4/IPv6 routes, VLAN tagging with voice/guest support, QoS (802.1p/DSCP), multicast, and DHCP relay/snooping. This enables efficient routing without external devices in enterprise setups.

What is the physical form factor?

Rack-mountable 1U design measures 1.7 inches height, 17.3 inches width, and 10 inches depth. It supports external redundant power via RPS-720 or MPS-600, with Energy Efficient Ethernet reducing power on idle ports by up to 50%.
