Description
The N3024 is a Dell network switch model that offers Layer 3 capabilities along with a combination of high-speed and standard Ethernet ports. Here are some key features of the Dell N3024 switch:
1. Layer 3 Switching: The N3024 supports Layer 3 switching, allowing for advanced routing capabilities within the network. This enables the switch to make routing decisions based on IP addresses, improving network efficiency and performance.
2. Port Configuration: The switch features 24 ports of Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE), which are suitable for connecting devices such as computers, printers, and IP phones. Additionally, it includes 2 SFP+ ports that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connections, offering high-speed connectivity for uplink or inter-switch connections.
3. Power Supply: The switch comes with a single power supply unit (PSU), providing power to the switch and connected devices. Redundant power supply options may be available for increased reliability in some configurations.
4. Operating System: The switch comes with Dell Networking OS6 installed, which is the operating system designed for Dell Networking switches. OS6 offers a range of features for network management, security, and monitoring.
5. Refurbished: The "REF" designation indicates that the switch is refurbished, meaning it has been restored to a like-new condition and thoroughly tested to ensure functionality and reliability. Refurbished switches can offer cost savings compared to new units while still providing reliable performance.
Overall, the Dell N3024 switch is suitable for small to medium-sized networks that require a combination of standard and high-speed Ethernet connectivity, along with advanced routing capabilities provided by Layer 3 switching.
