Page 3: General Configuration Information
General Configuration Information Dell™ PowerConnect™ 3324/3348 is provided with pre-defined implemented features and setup configuration. Auto-Negotiation Auto-negotiation allows a device to advertise modes of operation and share information with another device that shares a point-to-point link segment. This automatically configures both devices to take maximum advantage of their abilities.

Page 107: Defining Vlan Members
VLANs are software-based and not defined by physical attributes. As a result, VLANs have an unlimited number of ports and can be created per unit, per device, per stack, or any other logical connection combination. VLANs function at Layer 2. Since VLANs isolate traffic within the VLAN, a Layer 3 functioning router is needed to allow traffic to flow between VLANs. Layer 3 routers identify segments and coordinate with VLANs.
Page 108 VLAN Membership Page The VLAN Membership page is divided into the following sections: VLAN Membership Section VLAN Port Membership Table Defining VLAN LAG Settings VLAN Membership Section The VLAN Membership Section contains parameters for assigning VLAN membership to ports.
