The Dell 7000 Series switches are designed to offer secure, 
fixed-port Gigabit Ethernet switching solutions which deliver 
full wire-speed switching performance. With 24 or 48 Gigabit 
Ethernet ports in a 1U form factor, the 7000 series has a total 
switching capacity of up to 224 Gbps to support demanding 
network environments. The switches also offer simple 
management and scalability via a 128Gbps (via two stacking 
modules) high-availability stacking architecture that allows 
you to manage up to twelve switches from a single IP address, 
and share the upgradeable 10GbE ports across the stack for 
uplinks to the next layer in your network. The switches are 
designed with power-saving features including Energy Efficient 
Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) ports to help reduce per port power 
consumption while decrease cooling and power costs. Select 
models offer 24 & 48 ports of PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at), support for 
high- power WLAN Access Points (WAPs), Voice over IP (VoIP) 
handsets, video conferencing and security cameras up to 30.8 
watts of power.
High-performance and high availability for small 
cores and enterprise
The Networking 7000 Ethernet Switch family is designed 
for enterprise applications where high performance, high 
availability, and energy efficiency are key requirements. 
Operating at wire speed, the 7000 switches deliver up to 160 
Mpps throughput and a data rate of up to 224 Gbps (full duplex) 
for both Layer 2 and Layer 3 environments.
Switch stacks up to 600 ports can be managed from a single 
screen using the highly-available (HA) stacking architecture, for 
high density aggregation with seamless redundant availability 
and single IP management of an entire rack. Fast stack failover 
enables sub-50ms failover scenarios. The 7000 family can also 
stack with the Dell M6348 high density Ethernet blade. The 
7048R model enables a resilient HA core switch design with 
redundant internal power supplies and fans, reversible airflow 
(back-to-ports and ports-to-back model options) and dual 
firmware image support.
The switches also support rapid USB auto-configuration so 
you can rapidly deploy the switches in minutes without setting 
up complex TFTP configurations or sending technical staff to 
remote offices.
Robust security
Advanced security features of 7000 series switches help protect 
the network from accidental or malicious interference. Edge 
authentication using IEEE 802.1x provides a meaningful security 
solution which is centralized and easier to manage than standard 
ACLs, and the monitor mode of the switch allows for easier 
rollout of 802.1x in new environments. The 7000 series provides 
password management for increased network security, encrypted 
management traffic through SSL or SSH and secures SNMP 
access by filtering hosts based upon IP address. MAC-based port 
security is designed to prevent unauthorized MAC addresses from 
accessing the network. RADIUS and TACACS+ support enables 
centralized, remote authentication of administrative access to 
the switch. Private VLANs and administrative profiles are also 
supported.
Other Key Features
Up to 48 GbE ports of copper or fiber, PoE+ with 10GbE and 
stacking module options in a 1RU form factor
Stack up to 576GbE ports for highest-density, demanding HA 
aggregation/distribution wiring closets/MDFs
Non-stop forwarding and fast failover in stack configurations
IPv4 and IPv6 routing, including OSPFv1/2/3 and routing 
enhancements and improved multicast operation
Private VLAN extensions and Private VLAN Edge support
Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD) support
AAA Authorization, TACACS+ Accounting, and RADIUS Sup-
port for comprehensive secure access support
Pre-defined Administrative profiles/roles for switch access to 
management functions
USB auto-configuration rapidly deploys the switches in 
minutes without setting up complex TFTP configurations or 
sending technical staff to remote offices.
Manage via a standard command line interface (CLI), em-
bedded Web server, third party SNMP-based management 
console applications (including Dell OpenManage Network 
Manager), Telnet, or serial connections.
Designed to be easy on campus budgets with energy savings 
from the power cord to the ports
Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) ports reduce per port 
power consumption when link is idle or if ports are inactive
Efficient power supplies and multi-speed fan operation help 
decrease cooling and power costs
Operation in environments up to 45°C, helps reduce cooling 
costs in temperature constrained deployments
Lifetime Warranty*
Select Dell Networking switches are backed 
by an industry-leading, lifetime warranty which 
guarantees Basic Hardware Service (repair or 
replacement) for life.
