Dell N3000 Series Internet Network Switch , Energy Efficient 1 GbE Layer 3 Switch

Dell Networking N3000 Series 1 GbE Layer 3 Switch

Create a modern network

The N Series is a family of energy-efficient and affordable 1 GbE and 10 GbE switches that can be used to scale and modernize your network infrastructure. The Dell Networking N3000 Series provides highly available GbE switches for Layer 3 access or aggregation, providing an easy-to-manage solution:
Multi-path, loop-free redundancy with MLAG, no spanning tree for comprehensive bandwidth utilization and high availability
Provides interoperability with Cisco's fast interface between VLAN spanning tree (RPVST+)1 and devices using Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)
Combine products that use the latest open standards protocols to provide more flexible options in your network
Advanced IPv4 and IPv6 Layer 3 routing for security and scalability
Plug-and-play configuration with Dell EqualLogic iSCSI storage array and single-command iSCSI settings reduces the hassle of multi-step configuration and reduces potential configuration errors
Includes OpenFlow 1.3 support for interoperability with industry standard OpenFlow controllers.
Networking Switch N3000 Series - Building a Modern Network
Provide environmentally friendly power to network equipment with PoE+ support

The Dell Networking N3000 Series offers up to 48 Enhanced Power over Ethernet (PoE+) ports without the need for an external power supply. This way, you can connect devices with higher power requirements (up to 30.8 watts) without having to lay out separate power cords. PoE+ is particularly useful in older buildings where installation of power to multiple discrete locations requires extremely high costs.

Designed for efficiency

Operating up to 113 °F (45 °C), the N3000 Series helps reduce cooling costs and helps reduce operating costs. Features a variety of features that increase overall efficiency, including:
80PLUS certified high efficiency hot swappable power supply with dual power options
Sufficient power supply capacity to provide up to 48 PoE+ (up to 30.8 watts) ports in 1U space
Redundant variable speed cooling fan
Energy-efficient Ethernet and low-power PHY help reduce energy consumption on inactive and idle links
Network Switch N3000 Series - Advanced feature set helps simplify management
Advanced feature set helps simplify management

The Dell Networking N3000 Series simplifies deployment, provides excellent interoperability, and reduces the network administrator's learning curve. A single operating system version (Dell Networking OS 6 (English)) allows you to maintain a consistent configuration across all N Series products and provides a comprehensive set of features including:
A common command line interface (CLI) and graphical user interface (GUI) that help experienced network administrators quickly increase productivity with a familiar command language
USB auto-configuration allows network administrators to quickly deploy mirrored configurations to multiple devices simply by plugging in a USB stick
Multiple enterprise-class features with familiar and intuitive configuration and management commands
The latest open standards protocols and intelligent integration technologies to help you run your multi-vendor network smoothly
