Dell Networking N4000 Series

Dell Networking N4000 is a series of energy-efficient and cost-effective 10GbE switches designed for modernizing and scaling network infrastructure. N4000 switches utilize a comprehensive enterprise-class Layer 3 Advanced feature set, deliver consistent, simplified management and offer high-availability device and network design.

The N4000 switch series offers a power-efficient and resilient 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) switching solution with support for 40GbE uplinks for advanced Layer 3 distribution for offices and campus networks.

The N4000 switch series has high-performance capabilities and wire-speed performance utilizing a non-blocking architecture to easily handle unexpected traffic loads.

The N4000 series includes dual internal hot-swappable 80PLUS-certified power supplies for high availability and power efficiency.

The switches offer simple management and scalability via flexible user port stacking at 10Gbps or 40Gbps. The high-availability stacking architecture allows management of up to 12 switches from a single IP address.

Hardware, performance and efficiency:

  • 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, highavailability aggregation and distribution in wiring closets/MDFs. Non-stop forwarding and fast failover in stack configurations.
  • Hot swappable expansion module supporting dual-port QSFP+ (8x 10GbE), quad-port 10GBaseT and quad-port SFP+.
  • Dual 80PLUS-certified efficient hot swappable power supplies and redundant variable speed fan operation helps decrease cooling and power costs.
  • Energy-Efficient 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, configuring and managing:

  • Tool-less ReadyRails™ significantly reduces rack installation time.
  • USB auto-configuration rapidly deploys the switches without setting up complex TFTP configurations or sending technical staff to remote offices.
  • Plug-and-Play configuration with Dell EqualLogic iSCSI storage arrays** and one-command iSCSI setup alleviates multiple step configuration and potential configuration errors.
  • Management via an intuitive and familiar CLI, embedded web server (GUI), SNMP-based management console application (including Dell OpenManage Network Manager), Telnet or serial connection.
  • Private VLAN extensions and Private VLAN Edge support.
  • AAA authorization, TACACS+ accounting and RADIUS support for comprehensive secure access support.
  • Authentication tiering allows network administrators to tier port authentication methods such as 802.1x, MAC Authentication Bypass and Captive Portal in priority order so that a single port can provide flexible access and security.
  • Achieve high availability and full bandwidth utilization with MLAG and support firmware upgrades without taking the network offline.
  • Interfaces with RPVST+* protocol for greater flexibility and interoperability in Cisco networks.
  • Advanced Layer 3 IPv4 and IPv6 functionality.
  • Flexible routing options with policy-based routing to route packets based on assigned criteria beyond destination address.
  • Remote Switch Port Analyzer (RSPAN) monitors ports across a Layer 2 domain without costly dedicated network taps.
  • OpenFlow 1.3 provides the ability to separate the control plane from the forwarding plane for more sophisticated traffic management.
