Product overview

The Dell PowerSwitch N3224PX-ON is a high-performance Layer 3 managed switch designed for enterprise campus and distribution networks. It features 24 ports of 10GbE multigigabit auto-sensing connectivity (10M/100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G) with 802.3bt PoE support up to 90W per port, enabling deployment of power-hungry devices including IP cameras, building automation systems, and wireless access points. The switch includes 4x25GbE SFP28 ports and 2x100GbE QSFP28 uplink ports for high-speed aggregation and data center connectivity. With 1080Gbps full-duplex switching capacity and 1500Mpps forwarding rate, the N3224PX-ON delivers non-blocking wire-speed performance across all ports. The 1600W hot-swappable AC power supply ensures high availability. Advanced features include Multichassis Link Aggregation (MLAG) for active/active redundancy, VRF-lite for virtual routing, stacking support for up to 12 switches (400Gbps stacking bandwidth), and comprehensive Layer 3 routing protocols. Dell OS6 operating system provides intuitive management and open-standard protocol support for multivendor network environments.

Frequently asked questions

What is the switching capacity and forwarding rate of the N3224PX-ON?

The Dell N3224PX-ON delivers 1080Gbps full-duplex switching capacity with a forwarding rate of 1500Mpps (million packets per second). This non-blocking architecture ensures wire-speed performance across all 24 downlink ports and 6 uplink ports simultaneously, eliminating congestion during peak traffic loads in campus and data center environments.

What PoE capabilities does the N3224PX-ON support?

All 24 RJ45 ports support 802.3bt PoE with up to 90W per port, enabling deployment of high-power devices including 4K/8K IP cameras, enterprise-grade wireless access points, building automation controllers, and IoT edge devices. The 1600W power supply ensures sufficient capacity for simultaneous high-power draw across multiple ports.

How does the N3224PX-ON integrate into data center architectures?

The switch features 2x100GbE QSFP28 ports for spine connectivity and 4x25GbE SFP28 ports for additional aggregation. It supports stacking up to 12 units with 400Gbps stacking bandwidth, enabling high-density aggregation of up to 624 ports. MLAG provides active/active redundancy without spanning tree, maximizing available bandwidth.

What management and routing features are included?

Dell OS6 provides Layer 3 routing with support for OSPF, RIP, static routes (1,024 IPv4/IPv6), dynamic routes (8,158 IPv4/4,096 IPv6), and VRF-lite for virtual router partitioning. Multichassis Link Aggregation (MLAG) enables loopfree active/active redundancy. Up to 12 switches can be managed from a single IP address via stacking.

Is the N3224PX-ON suitable for multigigabit access networks?

Yes. All 24 downlink ports auto-sense 10M/100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G speeds, providing flexible connectivity for legacy 1GbE devices and modern multigigabit endpoints. This eliminates the need for separate switch models across different speed tiers in campus networks.

What redundancy and high-availability features does the switch offer?

The N3224PX-ON includes a hot-swappable 1600W AC power supply for continuous operation during maintenance. MLAG creates active/active loopfree redundancy without spanning tree overhead. Stacking architecture with 400Gbps bandwidth supports seamless failover across up to 12 switches managed as a single logical unit.

What operating systems and protocols are supported?

Dell OS6 is included as the default operating system, providing comprehensive Layer 3 routing, OSPF, RIP, static routing, and open-standard protocol support. Pica8 is available as an alternative OS option. The switch supports standards-based protocols for seamless integration into multivendor network environments.
