Dell 5KGDH N4032F -Port + 24-Port SFP+ Layer 3 Switch

Product Description

The Dell Networking N4032F (5KGDH) is a high-performance, 1U switch designed for demanding data center environments, particularly for top-of-rack (ToR) deployments. It features 24 x 10GbE SFP+ ports, providing high-density connectivity for servers and storage devices requiring high throughput. Complementing these are 4 x 40GbE QSFP+ uplink ports, which offer massive bandwidth for connecting to the network aggregation layer or other high-speed network infrastructure, ensuring that data flows efficiently without bottlenecks. This switch is a robust Layer 3 device, offering advanced routing capabilities essential for modern data center networks. It supports a wide range of routing protocols, including static routing, OSPF, BGP, and VRRP, enabling sophisticated network segmentation, load balancing, and high availability. The N4032F boasts an impressive switching capacity of 640 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 480 Mpps, operating in a non-blocking architecture to ensure maximum throughput for all ports simultaneously. This makes it ideal for high-performance computing, big data analytics, and other latency-sensitive applications. The Dell N4032F is built with features crucial for data center operations, such as support for Jumbo Frames up to 10,000 bytes to optimize large data transfers and a large MAC address table size of 128,000 entries to accommodate dense network environments. It offers comprehensive Layer 2 features like VLANs and LACP, alongside Quality of Service (QoS) for traffic prioritization. Management is flexible, with support for web GUI, CLI, and SNMP, allowing administrators to configure and monitor the network effectively. Its compact 1U form factor and high port density make it an efficient choice for space-constrained data centers.
