Upgrade your network
N-Series is a family of energy-efficient and cost-effective 1GbE and 10GbE switches designed for modernizing and scaling network infrastructure. The Dell Networking N2000 Series offers enhanced, high-availability Layer 2 Ethernet switches with basic Layer 3 routing functionality (Layer 2+) that:
- Use MLAG for multipath
loop-free redundancy without spanning tree to enable full-bandwidth
utilization and high availability
- Promote greater interoperability through interfaces with Cisco's Rapid
Per VLAN Spanning Tree (RPVST+)1 and devices using Cisco Discovery
Protocol (CDP)
- Offer a more flexible choice in your network by uniting products with
the latest open standard protocols
- Feature Layer 3 IPv4 and IPv6 functionality, including static routing
and Routing Information Protocol (RIP version 1 & 2) support for up to
256 interfaces
Deliver clean power to network devices with PoE+ support
The Dell Networking N2000 Series has options for up to 48 ports of Power-over-Ethernet Plus (PoE+). This allows you to attach devices with high power requirements (up to 30.8 watts) without running a separate power cable. PoE+ is particularly useful in older buildings where installing power to multiple, widespread locations can be prohibitively expensive.
Designed for efficiency
Built to help keep operating costs down, the N2000 Series can operate at temperatures up to 113°F (45°C) to help reduce cooling costs. Features designed to improve overall efficiency include:
- 80PLUS-certified
efficient integrated power supply
- Redundant variable-speed cooling fans
- Energy-Efficient Ethernet and low-power PHYs to help reduce power to
inactive ports and idle links
Advanced feature set to simplify management
The Dell Networking N2000
Series is designed for easy deployment, outstanding interoperability and
a low learning curve for network administrators. A single OS release
(Dell Networking OS 6) allows you to maintain consistent configurations
across all N-Series products with a comprehensive feature set that
includes:
- One common command line interface (CLI) and graphical user interface
(GUI) that use a well-known command language to help skilled network
administrators become productive quickly
- USB auto-configuration that helps network administrators rapidly
deploy mirrored configurations to numerous devices by simply inserting a
USB key
- A variety of enterprise-class features with familiar and intuitive
configuration and management commands
- The latest open-standard protocols and smart integration technologies
to help make smoothly operating multi-vendor networks possible
Deploy with confidence at any scale
With high throughput and capacity to handle unexpected workloads, the N2000 Series switches are ideal solutions for fast growing GbE networks that require high-density aggregation with seamless redundancy and availability.
- Data rates up to 220Gbps
(full duplex) and a forwarding rate of up to 164Mpps
- Built-in stacking ports and standard N-Series stacking cables support
a stacking architecture up to 12 units at 84Gbps
- Switch stacks up to 600 1GbE ports can be managed from a single screen
or IP address
