DELL EMC NETWORKING N4000 SERIES SWITCHES

Energy-ecient, cost-eective 10GbE switches for modernizing and scaling network infrastructure

The N4000 switch series oers a power-ecient and resilient 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) switching solution with support for 40GbE uplinks for advanced Layer 3 distribution for oces and campus networks. The N4000 switch series has high-performance capabilities and wirespeed performance utilizing a non-blocking architecture to easily handle unexpected trac loads. The N4000 series includes dual internal hotswappable 80PLUS-certied power supplies for high availability and power eciency. The switches oer 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-ecient 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 oer 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 conguration 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-conguration, network administrators can rapidly deploy mirrored congurations 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, conguration, or other advanced service provided by Dell ProSupport.

Deploy with condence 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/ LifetimeWarranty.***

Hardware, performance and eciency

• 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 congurations.

• Hot swappable expansion module supporting dual-port QSFP+ (8x 10GbE), quad-port 10GBaseT and quad-port SFP+.

• Dual 80PLUS-certied ecient hot swappable power supplies and redundant variable speed fan operation help decrease cooling and power costs.

• Energy-E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 Fresh Air compliance for operation in environments up to 113°F (45°C) helps reduce cooling costs in temperature constrained deployments.

Deploying, conguring and managing

• Tool-less ReadyRails™ signicantly reduces rack installation time.

• USB auto-conguration rapidly deploys the switches without complex TFTP congurations or sending technical sta to remote oces.

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