Dell N3248P-ON N3248P-ON 48-Port + 6-Port SFP+ QSFP28 Layer 3 Switch

Description

The Dell Networking N3248P-ON switch is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern data centers and enterprise networks. It provides a robust platform for high-density, high-speed connectivity, serving as an ideal solution for Top-of-Rack (ToR) deployments or as an aggregation layer switch. The switch boasts 48 ports capable of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) via SFP+ transceivers, offering ample connectivity for servers and other network devices requiring high bandwidth. Complementing the extensive 10GbE downlink ports are six 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) QSFP+ uplink ports. These high-speed uplinks provide significant bandwidth for connecting to core network infrastructure or other aggregation switches, ensuring that the switch is not a bottleneck in the network fabric. The Layer 3 switching capabilities allow for advanced routing functions, enabling efficient traffic management and segmentation within the network, reducing reliance on external routers for inter-VLAN routing. The 'ON' designation in the model name signifies its support for Open Networking, implying compatibility with various network operating systems (NOS) and a focus on flexibility and programmability. This allows organizations to choose the NOS that best fits their operational needs and expertise. The 'P' in the model typically indicates Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities, further enhancing its versatility for deploying devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and cameras.
