DELL EMC NETWORKING N4000 SERIES
SWITCHES
Energy-ecient, cost-eective 10GbE switches for modernizing and scaling
network infrastructure
The N4000 switch series oers a power-ecient and resilient 10 Gigabit
Ethernet (10GbE) switching solution with support for 40GbE uplinks
for advanced Layer 3 distribution for oces and campus networks.
The N4000 switch series has high-performance capabilities and wirespeed performance utilizing a non-blocking architecture to easily handle
unexpected trac loads. The N4000 series includes dual internal hotswappable 80PLUS-certied power supplies for high availability and
power eciency. The switches oer simple management and scalability
via exible user port stacking at 10Gbps or 40Gbps. The high-availability
stacking architecture allows management of up to 12 switches from a
single IP address.
Modernize campus network architectures
Modernize campus network architectures with a power-ecient and
resilient 10/40GbE switching solution for environments requiring high
throughput and availability at the aggregation or core. For greater
interoperability in multivendor networks, N4000 series switches oer 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). N4000 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 conguration errors. These high density
24-port or 48-port 10GbE switches are ready for converged fabric
requirements for SAN and LAN networks with loss-less operation for
iSCSI environments with Data Center Bridging (DCB). N4000 supports
VRF-lite, allowing it to be partitioned into multiple virtual routers with
isolated control and data planes on the same physical switch. The N4000
series is also fully tested and validated to work with Dell EqualLogic™ PSSeries storage arrays.**
Leverage familiar tools and practices
All N-Series switches include Dell Networking OS 6, designed for easier
deployment, greater interoperability and a lower learning curve for
network administrators. One common command line interface (CLI)
and GUI using a well-known command language gets skilled network
administrators productive quickly. With USB auto-conguration, network
administrators can rapidly deploy mirrored congurations to numerous
devices by simply inserting a USB key.
*Available starting with Dell Networking OS 6.1 release
**Contact your Dell EMC representative for a full list of validated storage arrays.
***Select Networking products carry a Lifetime Limited Warranty with Basic Hardware Service (repair or replacement) for life.
Repair or replacement does not include troubleshooting, conguration, or other advanced service provided by Dell ProSupport.
Deploy with condence at any scale
N4000 series switches help create performance assurance with a data
rate up to 1.28Tbps (full duplex) and a forwarding rate up to 952Mpps.
Scale easily with 10/40Gbps user port stacking supporting distances up
to 100 meters. Switch stacks of up to 672 10GbE ports can be managed
from a single screen using the highly-available stacking architecture
for high-density aggregation with seamless redundant availability.
N-Series switches help provide certainty with a lifetime warranty that
covers software upgrades, hardware repair or replacement as well
as optics and cables purchased with the switch. Details at Dell.com/

Hardware, performance and eciency
• Up to 32 10GbE ports (N4032 and N4032F) and up to 64 10GbE
ports (N4064 and N4064F) using breakout cables.
• Converged network support for DCB with Priority Flow Control
(802.1Qbb), ETS (802.1Qaz), DCBx, iSCSI TLV Support.
• Up to 672 10GbE ports in a 12-unit stack for high-density, high-availability aggregation and distribution in wiring closets/MDFs. Non-stop
forwarding and fast failover in stack congurations.
• Hot swappable expansion module supporting dual-port QSFP+ (8x
10GbE), quad-port 10GBaseT and quad-port SFP+.
• Dual 80PLUS-certied ecient hot swappable power supplies and
redundant variable speed fan operation help decrease cooling and
power costs.
• Energy-Ecient Ethernet and lower power PHYs reduce power to
inactive ports and idle links, providing energy savings from the power
cord to the port.
• Dell Fresh Air compliance for operation in environments up to 113°F
(45°C) helps reduce cooling costs in temperature constrained
deployments.
Deploying, conguring and managing
• Tool-less ReadyRails™ signicantly reduces rack installation time.
• USB auto-conguration rapidly deploys the switches without complex
TFTP congurations or sending technical sta to remote oces.
• Plug-and-Play conguration with Dell EqualLogic iSCSI storage
arrays** and one-command iSCSI setup alleviates multiple step conguration and potential conguration errors.
