Introduction
This document provides basic information about the Dell® EMC™
Networking N2200 Series switches, including how to install a switch and
perform the initial configuration. For information about how to configure and
monitor switch features, see the User’s Configuration Guide, which is
available on the Dell Support website at
latest updates on documentation and firmware.
This document contains the following sections:
• N2200 Series Overview
• N2200 Series Hardware Overview
• N2200 Installation
• Starting and Configuring the N2200 Switch
NOTE: Switch administrators are strongly advised to maintain Dell EMC
Networking switches on the latest version of the Dell EMC Networking Operating
System (DNOS). Dell EMC Networking continually improves the features and
functions of DNOS based on feedback from you, the customer. For critical
infrastructure, prestaging of the new release into a noncritical portion of the
network is recommended to verify network configuration and operation with the
new DNOS version.

N2200 Series Hardware Overview
Dell EMC Networking N2200-ON Series Switch Hardware
This section contains information about device characteristics and modular
hardware configurations for the Dell EMC Networking N2200 Series
switches.
N2200-ON Series Front Panel
The Dell EMC Networking N2224X-ON/N2224PX-ON/N2248XON/N2248PX-ON switch front panels include the following features:
• 24 or 48 RJ-45 10/100/1000/2500BASE-T ports
• Four SFP28 10G/25GBASE-X ports
• Two QSFP 40G stacking ports
• RJ-45 and Type-B micro USB 3.0 console ports
• Reset button
• Port and system LEDs
• Stack Master LED and Stack Number Display
• Type-A USB 3.0 port for storage
• Out-of-band Ethernet interface
The following images show a representative front panel of the Dell EMC
Networking switch.

Figure 1-1. Dell EMC Networking N2248PX-ON Switch (Front Panel)
N2200-ON Series Rear Panel
The Dell EMC Networking N2200-ON Series back panel has two 40G QSFP
stacking ports in the rear. It also has two slots for power supplies, and two
(N2224X-ON/N2224PX-ON) or three (N2248X-ON/N2248PX-ON) hot-swap
fan trays.
Figure 1-2. Dell EMC Networking N2248PX Switch (Rear Panel)
N2200X-ON Series Switch Ports
The Dell EMC Networking N2200X-ON Series front panel provides 24 or 48
10/100/1000/2500BASE-T Ethernet RJ-45 ports that support auto-negotiation
for speed, flow control, and duplex. Dell EMC Networking N2200X-ON
Series switch front panel 2.5G ports operate in full-duplex at all speeds or
half-duplex at 10/100 Mbps speeds. The Dell EMC Networking N2200X-ON
Series switch models support four 10G/25G SFP28 ports and two 40G QSFP
stacking ports. Dell-qualified transceivers are sold separately.
The front-panel switch ports have the following characteristics:
• The switch automatically detects the difference between crossed and
straight-through cables on RJ-45 ports and automatically chooses the MDI
or MDIX configuration to match the other end.
• The 10/100/1000/2500BASE-T Ethernet RJ-45 ports support full-duplex
mode 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps speeds or half-duplex 10/100 Mbps speeds
on standard Category 5 UTP cable. 2500BASE-T operation requires the
use of auto-negotiation.
• SFP28 ports support Dell-qualified transceivers utilizing 25GBASE-SR,
25GBASE-LR, 25GBASE-CR, 25GBASE-CR-S or 25GBASE-ER
technologies. SFP28 ports support SFP+ fiber transceivers and SFP+
copper twin-ax or DAC technology operating at 10G speeds in full-duplex
5
mode. All four SFP28 ports must be configured to operate at the same
speed. 25GBASE-CR and 10G-BASE-CR modes (copper twin-ax or DAC
cables) require the use of auto-negotiation.
• The default behavior is to log a message and generate an SNMP trap on
insertion or removal of a transceiver that is not qualified by Dell. The
message and trap can be suppressed by using the service unsupported-
transceiver command.
On the N2224X-ON/N2224PX-ON switches, ports 1-12 may be configured to
support 10M/100M half-duplex.
On the N2248X-ON switches, ports 5-36 may be configured to support
10M/100M half-duplex.
N2200-ON SFP28 ports may be configured to operate using SFP+
transceivers using the speed 10000 command for fiber media or the speed
auto 10000 command for copper media. All four SFP28 ports must be
configured to operate at the same speed. A mix of SFP+ and SFP28
transceivers or speeds is not supported. The switch UI does not enforce this
restriction.
N2200-ON Series Console Port
The console port provides serial communication capabilities, which allows
communication using RS-232 protocol. The serial port provides a direct
connection to the switch and allows access to the CLI from a console
terminal connected to the port through the provided serial cable (with RJ-45
YOST to female DB-9 connectors). The console port is separately
configurable and can be run as an asynchronous link from 1200 baud to
115,200 baud. The Dell CLI only supports changing the speed. The defaults
are 115,200 baud rate, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
6
Figure 1-3. Dell EMC Networking N2248 Console Port
A separate USB micro type B port is also available for console access to the
CPU CLI. RS-232 emulation over USB is supported on this port. A driver may
need to be installed to support the RS-232 emulation. Only one of the
console ports may be used at a time.
N2200-ON Series USB Port
The Type-A, female USB port supports a USB 3.0-compliant flash memory
drive. The Dell EMC Networking N-Series switch can read or write to a flash
drive with a single partition formatted as FAT-32. Use a USB flash drive to
copy switch configuration files and images between the USB flash drive and
the switch. The USB flash drive may be used to move and copy configuration
files and images to other switches in the network. The system does not
support the deletion of files on USB flash drives. The USB port does not
support any other type of USB device.
N2200-ON Series Reset Button
The reset button is accessed through the pinhole and enables performing a
hard or soft reset of the switch. To reset the switch, insert an unbent paper
clip or similar tool into the pinhole for four seconds. When the switch
completes the boot process after the reset, it resumes operation with the most
recently saved configuration. Any changes made to the running configuration
that were not saved to the startup configuration prior to the reset are lost.
7
To clear the configuration and reset the switch, press the reset button for at
least eight seconds. The saved configuration is cleared and the switch reboots.
The switch then starts the autoconfiguration process.
N2200-ON Series Port and System LEDs
The front panel contains light emitting diodes (LEDs) that indicate the
status of system temperature, port links, power supplies, fans, stacking, and
the overall system status. A locator beacon capability is also present on the
system LEDs. See
N2200-ON Series LED Definitions
for more information.
N2200-ON Series Stack Master LED and Stack Number Display
When a switch within a stack is the master unit, the stack master LED is solid
green. If the stack master LED is off, the stack member is not the master unit.
The stack number LCD displays the unit number for the stack member. If a
switch is not part of a stack (in other words, it is a stack of one switch), the
stack master LED is illuminated, and the unit number is displayed.
N2200-ON Series Power Supplies
The Dell EMC Networking N2224X-ON/N2248X-ON switches have a fieldreplaceable 550W power supply (DS-550 AC). An additional field-replaceable
power supply may be added to support redundancy.
The Dell EMC Networking N2224PX-ON switches have a field-replaceable
1050-watt power supply (DPS-1050 AC) feeding up to 16x30W PoE and
2x60W devices at full power (712W). The Dell EMC Networking N2248PXON switches have an internal 1050W power supply (DPS-1050 AC) feeding
up to 16x30W PoE devices and 1Xx60W at full power (624W).
In both PoE models, additional field replaceable 1050W, 1300W, or 1600W
power supplies are available to support redundancy or to supply full front
panel demand.

Port LEDs
Each port on a Dell EMC Networking N2200-ON Series switch includes two
LEDs. One LED is on the left side of the port, and the second LED is on the
right side of the port. This section describes the LEDs on the switch ports.
Each 100/1000/10000BASE-T port has two LEDs. Figure 1-4 illustrates the
100/1000/10000BASE-T port LEDs.
