Energy-efficient, cost-effective 1GbE switches for modernizing and scaling network infrastructure

The N3024/N3024P I/O-side provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000BASE-T) RJ-45 ports that support auto-negotiation for speed, flow control, and duplex. The N3024/N3024P models support two SFP 10G ports. Dell-qualified SFP transceivers are sold separately.

The N3000 switch series offers a power-efficient and resilient Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switching solution with integrated 10GbE uplinks for advanced Layer 3 distribution for offices and campus networks. The series has high-performance capabilities and wire-speed performance utilizing a non-blocking architecture to easily handle unexpected traffic loads. Use dual internal hot-swappable 80PLUS-certified power supplies for high availability and power efficiency. The switches offer simple management and scalability via an 84Gbps (full duplex) high-availability stacking architecture that allows management of up to 12 switches from a single IP address. Note: With OS 6.5.1.x and higher, max stack for N3000 series is 8; however, N3000E series and N3132PX-ON support max stack of 12 members. N3000 series can be stacked with N3000E series; however, stack size is limited to 8 and active VLANs to 1024.

Modernize campus network architectures
Modernize campus network architectures with a power-efficient and resilient 1/10GbE switching solution with dense Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE ) and PoE 60W. Select N3000 models offer 24 or 48 ports of PoE , or up to 32 ports of PoE 60W to deliver clean power to network devices such as wireless access points (APs), Voice-over-IP (VoIP) handsets, video conferencing systems and security cameras. For greater interoperability in multivendor networks, N3000 series switches offer the latest open-standard protocols and include technology to interface with Cisco protocol RPVST and devices using CDP.

N3024, N3024F switches support two 200-watt field replaceable unit (FRU) power supplies which give full power redundancy for the switch. The N3024, N3024F switches offer the V-lock feature for users desiring the need to eliminate accidental power disconnection. The V-lock receptacle on the PSU allows you to use a power cord that has the V-lock feature to create an integral secure locking connection.
