N1500 Series N1548 48-Port L3 Managed Stackable Rackmount Switch with 4 10GbE SFP+ Ports

Dell Networking N1500 Series Switches

Update your network access

Upgrade aging 10/100 access networks with GbE Layer 3 Lite managed switches that support PoE+, 10GbE uplinks, and 4-unit stacking.

Extending enterprise features to small and mid-sized businesses

The N1500 switch series offers a power-efficient Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) network-access switching solution with integrated 10GbE uplinks. With high-performance capabilities and wire-speed performance, utilizing a non-blocking architecture to easily handle unexpected traffic loads, the switches offer simple management and scalability via an 40Gbps (full-duplex) high availability stacking architecture that allows management of up to four switches from a single IP address. An integrated 80PLUS-certified power supply and features such as Energy-Efficient Ethernet and short cable detection provide energy efficiency to help decrease power and cooling costs

Modernize campus network architectures

Modernize campus network architectures with a power-efficient and resilient 1/10GbE switching solution with Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+). Select N1500 models offer 24 or 48 ports of PoE+ to deliver clean power to network devices such as wireless access points (APs), Voice-over-IP (VoIP) handsets, video conferencing systems and security cameras.

Leverage familiar tools and practices

All N-Series switches include Dell EMC Networking OS 6, designed for easier deployment, greater interoperability and a lower learning curve for network administrators. One common command line interface (CLI) and graphic user interface (GUI) using a well-known command language gets skilled network administrators productive quickly. With USB auto-configuration, network administrators can rapidly deploy mirrored configurations to numerous devices by simply inserting a USB key.

Deploy with confidence at any scale

N1500 series switches help create performance assurance with a data rate up to 176Gbps (full duplex) and a forwarding rate up to 164Mpps. Scale easily by stacking with 10GbE ports. Switch stacks of up to 200 1GbE ports can be managed from a single screen using the highly available stacking architecture for high-density aggregation with seamless redundant availability. N-Series switches help provide certainty with a lifetime warranty that covers software upgrades, hardware repair or replacement, and optics and cables purchased with the switch.

Hardware, performance and efficiency

• Up to 48 line-rate GbE RJ-45 ports and four integrated 10GbE SFP+ ports.
• Up to 48 ports of PoE+ with an optional external power supply.
• Up to 200 1GbE ports in a 4-unit stack for high-density, high-availability in IDFs, MDFs and wiring closets.
• Non-stop forwarding and fast failover in stack configurations.
• Energy-Efficient Ethernet and lower power PHYs reduce power to inactive ports and idle links, providing energy savings from the power cord to the port.
• Fresh Air compliance for operation in environments up to 113°F (45°C) helps reduce cooling costs in temperature- constrained deployments.

Deploying, configuring and managing

• USB auto-configuration rapidly deploys the switch without setting up complex TFTP configurations or sending technical staff to remote offices.
• Management via an intuitive and familiar CLI, embedded web server (GUI), SNMP-based management console application (including Dell OpenManage Network Manager), Telnet or serial connection.
• Private VLAN extensions and Private VLAN Edge support.
• AAA authorization, TACACS+ accounting and RADIUS support for comprehensive secure access support.
• Authentication tiering allows network administrators to tier port authentication methods such as 802.1x, MAC Authentication
• Bypass and Captive Portal in priority order so that a single port can provide flexible access and security.
• Layer 3 Lite IPv4 and IPv6 functionality including static routing and Routing Information Protocol support.
• Remote Switch Port Analyzer (RSPAN) monitors ports across a Layer 2 domain without costly dedicated network taps.
• OpenFlow 1.3 provides the ability to separate the control plane from the forwarding plane for more sophisticated traffic management
