Dell EMC PowerSwitch
N3000E Series Swithches

Energy-efcient, cost-effective 1GbE switches for modernizing and scaling
network infrastructure

The N3000E switch series offers a power-efcient and
resilient Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switching solution with
integrated 10GbE uplinks for advanced Layer 3 distribution
for ofces and campus networks. The series has
high-performance capabilities and wire-speed performance
utilizing a non-blocking architecture to easily handle
unexpected trafc loads. Use dual internal hot-swappable
80PLUS-certied power supplies for high availability and
power efciency. 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 N3000E series is 8; however,
N3000E series and N3132PX-ON support max stack of
12 members. N3000E 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-efcient and resilient 1/10GbE switching solution
with dense Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) and PoE
60W. Select N3000E 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, N3000E series switches offer the
latest open-standard protocols and include technology
to interface with Cisco protocol RPVST+ and devices
using CDP.

Achieve high availability and full bandwidth utilization
with Multi-chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG). N3000E

series switches support MLAG to create active/active
loop-free redundancy without spanning tree. Server rooms
can deliver reliable server and storage connectivity with
features to help save time and avoid conguration errors.
N3000E supports VRFlite, allowing it to be partitioned
into multiple virtual routers with isolated control and data
planes on the same physical switch. The N3000E series
is also fully tested and validated to work with Dell EMC
EqualLogic™ PSSeries storage arrays.*

Leverage familiar tools and practices

All N-Series switches include Dell EMC Networking OS 6,
designed for easier deployment, greater interoperability
and a lower learning curve for network administrators.
OS 6 common command line interface (CLI) and graphic
user interface (GUI) are intuitive, so skilled network
administrators can get productive quickly. Select
N3000E switches now support the Open Network Install
Environment (ONIE), enabling installation of alternate
network operating systems.

Deploy with condence at any scale

N3000E series switches help create performance
assurance with a data rate up to 328Gbps (full duplex)
and a forwarding rate up to 428Mpps. Scale easily with
built-in rear stacking ports. Switch stacks of up to 624
1GbE ports can be managed from a single screen using
the highlyavailable stacking architecture for high-density
aggregation with seamless redundant availability. The
N-Series switches’ lifetime warranty covers software
upgrades, hardware repair or replacement, and optics and
cables purchased with the switch. Details at

Dell.com/LifetimeWarranty.

*Select Networking products carry a Lifetime Limited Warranty with Basic Hardware Service
(repair or replacement) for life. Repair or replacement does not include troubleshooting,
conguration, or other advanced service provided by Dell EMC ProSupport.

Hardware, performance and efciency

Deploying, conguring and managing

• Up to 48 line-rate GbE ports of copper or ber, two
combo ports for ber/copper exibility, and two
integrated 10GbE SFP+ ports.

• Up to 48 ports of PoE+ or 32 ports of PoE 60W in 1RU
without an external power supply.

• Up to eight 2.5/5GbE ports delivering additional
bandwidth for Wave 2 wireless access points.

• Hot swappable expansion module supporting dual-port
SFP+ or dual-port 10GBaseT.

• Available with dual 80PLUS-certied hot swappable
power supplies. Variable speed fan operation helps
decrease cooling and power costs.

• Energy-Efcient Ethernet and lower power PHYs
reduce power to inactive ports and idle links, providing
energy savings from the power cord to the port.

• Dell EMC Fresh Air compliance for operation
in environments up to 113°F (45°C) reduces
cooling costs.

Product Description

• USB auto-conguration rapidly deploys the switch
without complex TFTP congurations or sending
technical staff to remote ofces.

• Plug-and-Play conguration with Dell EMC EqualLogic
iSCSI storage arrays* and one-command iSCSI setup
alleviates multiple step conguration and potential
conguration errors.

• Management via an intuitive and familiar CLI,
embedded web server (GUI), SNMP-based
management console application (including Dell EMC
OpenManage Network Manager), Telnet or
serial connection.

• Private VLAN extensions and Private VLAN
Edge support.
