Switch Ports
The N3024/N3024P front panel provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet
(10/100/1000BASE-T) RJ-45 ports that support auto-negotiation for speed,
flow control, and duplex. The N3024/N3024P models support two SFP+ 10G
ports. Dell-qualified SFP+ transceivers are sold separately.
The N3024F front panel provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet 100BASE-
FX/1000BASE-X SFP ports plus 2 1000BASE-T combo ports. Dell-qualified
SFP transceivers are sold separately.
The N3048/N3048P front panel provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet (10BASE-T,
100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T) RJ-45 ports that support auto-negotiation for
speed, flow control, and duplex. The N3048/N3048P support two SFP+ 10G
ports. Dell-qualified SFP+ 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.
•
SFP ports support Dell-qualified transceivers.
•
RJ-45 ports support full-duplex mode 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds on
standard Category 5 UTP cable.
•
SFP+ ports support SFP+ transceivers and SFP+ copper twin-ax
technology plus SFP transceivers operating at 1G.
•
The N3024P/N3048P front panel ports support PoE (15.4W) and PoE+
(30W).
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 RJ45
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.
