Product overview

The Dell PowerSwitch N2048P (RHVDV) is a managed Layer 2+ Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for enterprise data center and campus network environments. It provides 48 fixed 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports with integrated Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) capability, delivering up to 30W per port for powering network devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras. The switch includes 2x 10GbE SFP+ ports for high-speed uplinks to core network infrastructure or stacking with additional N2048P units. Operating under Dell's OS6 management platform, the N2048P supports advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 features including VLANs, link aggregation, spanning tree, IGMP snooping, and QoS for traffic prioritization. The switch supports stacking via dedicated stacking ports, enabling up to 8 units to be managed as a single logical device. With normal airflow design and redundant power supply options, the N2048P delivers reliable performance in 1U rack form factor, making it ideal for high-density port deployments in medium to large enterprise networks requiring PoE power distribution.

Frequently asked questions

What is the total PoE power budget of the Dell N2048P?

The N2048P delivers up to 30W per port across all 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports. With optional external power modules, the switch can supply maximum PoE power to all ports simultaneously, supporting high-density deployments of IP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras without requiring separate power infrastructure at each device location.

How does the N2048P support network scalability?

The N2048P supports stacking of up to 8 units via dedicated stacking ports, allowing administrators to manage multiple switches as a single logical device from one IP address. This simplifies network management and enables seamless port expansion without adding management overhead or complexity to the network architecture.

What uplink options does the N2048P provide?

The switch includes 2x 10GbE SFP+ ports for high-speed uplinks to core network infrastructure, storage systems, or other N2048P units in a stack. These 10GbE uplinks provide 20Gbps of aggregate bandwidth for connecting the access layer to distribution or core layers.

Is the N2048P suitable for data center deployments?

Yes, the N2048P is designed for data center access-layer deployments where high-density Gigabit connectivity is required. Its managed Layer 2+ features, including VLAN support, link aggregation, and QoS, enable traffic prioritization and network segmentation typical in virtualized data center environments.

What management capabilities does the N2048P offer?

The N2048P runs Dell OS6 management platform, supporting Layer 2 and Layer 3 features including VLANs (up to 4K), link aggregation, spanning tree, IGMP snooping, and QoS with 8 data queues. Management access is available via web interface, SSH, Telnet, and SNMP for integration with network management systems.

What is the physical form factor and power consumption?

The N2048P is a 1U rack-mount switch with normal airflow design. Typical power consumption is approximately 150-200W under normal operating conditions, with support for redundant AC power supplies and optional DC power modules for high-availability deployments in mission-critical environments.
