Frequently asked questions

What is the switching capacity and forwarding rate of the N3132PX-ON?

The N3132PX-ON delivers 328Gbps full-duplex switching fabric with a forwarding rate of 428Mbps (288Gbps aggregate). This non-blocking architecture supports line-rate Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 routing across all ports simultaneously, enabling wire-speed performance for east-west data center traffic and campus network aggregation without congestion.

How many PoE ports does the switch support and what is the maximum power per port?

The N3132PX-ON provides 32 PoE ports total: 24x 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and 8x 10/100/1000/2.5G/5G multi-gig ports. Each port supports up to 60W PoE power delivery, enabling connection of high-power devices like wireless access points, IP cameras, and powered IoT endpoints. Dual 1100W power supplies ensure sufficient capacity for full PoE load across all 32 ports.

What uplink options are available for core network connectivity?

Four integrated 10GbE SFP+ ports provide dedicated high-speed uplinks to core switches or storage arrays. Additionally, an optional hot-swap expansion module bay supports dual-port SFP+ or dual-port 10GBaseT modules for additional uplink flexibility. This architecture accommodates both fiber and copper uplink preferences in enterprise environments.

Does the N3132PX-ON support stacking and what are the aggregation limits?

Yes, the switch includes rear stacking ports and supports stacking of up to 12 units, aggregating up to 624 total 1GbE ports under unified management. Stacking supports 128 LAG groups with up to 8 member ports per LAG, 144 dynamic ports per stack, and non-stop forwarding during member failures, enabling high-availability wiring closet deployments.

What Layer 3 routing capabilities and security features does the N3132PX-ON provide?

The switch supports advanced IPv4/IPv6 routing with OSPF (8,160 interfaces), RIP (512 interfaces), static routes (1,024 each), and ECMP with 64 groups and 4 next-hops per route. Security includes 100 ACLs with 4,096 total rules, MAC/IP-based filtering, time-controlled ACLs, and per-interface ingress/egress rule limits. VLAN support extends to 4,094 VLANs with protocol-based VLAN capability.

What operating temperature range and power efficiency features does the N3132PX-ON offer?

The switch operates in ambient temperatures from 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F), supporting Dell Fresh Air compliance for cooler-efficient data centers. Energy-Efficient Ethernet per-port settings reduce power to inactive ports, redundant variable-speed fans scale cooling demand, and 80PLUS-certified power supplies minimize power loss. Maximum power consumption is 2,115W with thermal output of 7,216.68 BTU/hr.
