Switch Ports
The N2024/N2024P front panel provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet
(10/100/1000BASE-T) RJ-45 ports that support auto-negotiation for speed,
flow control, and duplex. The N2024/N2024P models support two SFP+ 10G
ports. Dell-qualified SFP+ transceivers are sold separately.
The N2048/N2048P 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 N2048/N2048P 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 N2024P/N2048P 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. The defaults are 9600 baud
rate, 8 data bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit, No Flow Control.
