What port configuration does the Dell VDRFG N1548 provide?

The N1548 features 48x auto-sensing 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 ports for flexible endpoint connectivity and 4x 10G SFP+ ports dedicated for uplinks or stacking. This configuration supports wire-speed Gigabit switching across all ports with 10G bandwidth to aggregation layer, ideal for high-density access deployments.

Does the N1548 support Layer 3 routing features?

Yes, as a managed Layer 3 switch, it supports static routing, RIP, OSPF, VRRP for gateway redundancy, and up to 128 VLAN routing interfaces. This enables inter-VLAN routing at wire speed without external routers, reducing latency in enterprise networks.

What stacking capabilities are available?

The N1548 supports stacking up to 8 units using the 10G SFP+ ports, creating a single logical switch with unified management. Stacking bandwidth reaches 80Gbps full-duplex, providing non-stop forwarding and fast failover for high availability.

Is the VDRFG N1548 suitable for PoE deployments?

While base model lacks integrated PoE, it supports optional external PSU for PoE on select ports similar to N1548P variant. Delivers up to 370W budget for powering APs, cameras, and phones in access layer scenarios.

What management and security features are included?

Includes OS10 or CNOS with CLI/web management, RADIUS/SSH/TACACS+ authentication, ACLs, and port security. Supports sFlow, SNMP, and Zero Touch Provisioning for simplified enterprise-scale deployments.

What is the switching capacity of the N1548?

Offers 176Gbps switching capacity (full duplex) with forwarding rate up to 131Mpps, ensuring non-blocking performance across all 48 Gigabit ports and 10G uplinks even under full load.
