What is the port configuration of the Dell N3224F-ON?

The N3224F-ON features 24x 1G SFP downlink ports, 4x 10G SFP+ secondary uplinks, and 2x 100G QSFP28 stacking ports. This configuration supports high-density 1GbE access with flexible 10G/100G uplinks for campus aggregation.

What switching performance does the N3224F-ON provide?

It delivers 528Gbps full-duplex switching capacity and 733Mpps forwarding rate, enabling line-rate Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 routing across all ports simultaneously without blocking, ideal for bandwidth-intensive environments.

Does the N3224F-ON support stacking and redundancy?

Yes, with 2x 100G QSFP28 rear stacking ports providing 400Gbps full-duplex bandwidth. Supports up to 12 switches in a stack managed via single IP, plus MLAG for active-active redundancy without spanning tree.

What management and OS options are available?

Ships with Dell OS6; supports Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) for third-party NOS like Pica8. Features include VRF-lite, 8 priority queues per port, 1024 static routes, and out-of-band management port.

What are the power and environmental specs?

Includes 1x hot-swappable 550W AC PSU (87% efficient), max 224W consumption, 764 BTU/hr thermal. Operates 0-45°C, redundant variable-speed fans, I/O to PSU airflow, compact 1RU chassis at 14.25lbs.

Is PoE supported on the N3224F-ON?

No PoE capability; this fiber model focuses on high-performance non-PoE 1GbE switching. PoE variants like N3224P-ON offer 802.3at up to 30W per port with 1050W PSU.
