The N3000 switch series offers a power-efficient and resilient 
Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switching solution with integrated 10GbE 
uplinks for advanced Layer 3 distribution for offices and campus 
networks. The N3000 switch series has high-performance 
capabilities and wire-speed performance utilizing a non-blocking 
architecture to easily handle unexpected traffic loads. Use dual 
internal hot-swappable 80PLUS-certified power supplies for 
high availability and power efficiency. The switches offer simple 
management and scalability via an 84Gbps (full-duplex) high-
availability stacking architecture that allows management of up to 12 
switches from a single IP address.
Modernize campus network architectures
Modernize campus network architectures with a power-efficient and 
resilient 1/10GbE switching solution with dense Power over Ethernet 
Plus (PoE+). Select N3000 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. For greater interoperability in 
multivendor networks, all N-Series switches offer the latest open-
standard protocols and include technology to interface with Cisco 
protocol RPVST+* and devices using CDP.
Achieve high availability and full bandwidth utilization with Multi-
chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG). All N-Series switches support 
MLAG to create active/active loop-free redundancy without 
spanning tree. Server rooms can deliver reliable server and storage 
connectivity with features to help save time and avoid configuration 
errors. The N3000 series is also fully tested and validated to work 
with Dell EqualLogic™ PS-Series storage arrays.**
Leverage familiar tools and practices
All N-Series switches include Dell 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. This allows network administrators to maintain consistent 
configurations by running one OS release across all N-Series 
products. 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
N3000 series switches help create performance assurance with a 
data rate up to 260Gbps (full duplex) and a forwarding rate up to 
193Mpps. Scale easily with built-in rear stacking ports. Switch stacks 
of up to 624 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 ports of copper or fiber, two combo ports 
for fiber/copper flexibility, and two integrated 10GbE SFP+ ports.
• 
Up to 48 ports of PoE+ in 1RU without an external power supply.
• 
Up to 624 1GbE ports in a 12-unit stack for high-density, high-
availability aggregation and distribution in wiring closets/MDFs. 
Non-stop forwarding and fast failover in stack configurations.
• 
Hot swappable expansion module supporting dual-port SFP+ or 
dual-port 10GBaseT.
• 
Available with dual 80PLUS-certified hot swappable power  
supplies. Variable speed fan operation helps decrease cooling and 
power costs.
• 
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.
• 
Dell Fresh Air compliance for operation in environments up to 
122°F (50°C) helps reduce cooling costs in temperature 
constrained deployments.
Deploying, configuring and managing
• 
Tool-less ReadyRails™ significantly reduces rack installation time.
• 
USB auto-configuration rapidly deploys the switch without  
setting up complex TFTP configurations or sending technical staff 
to remote offices.
• 
Plug-and-Play configuration with Dell EqualLogic iSCSI storage 
arrays** and one-command iSCSI setup alleviates multiple step 
configuration and potential configuration errors.
• 
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.
• 
Achieve high availability and full bandwidth utilization with MLAG 
and support firmware upgrades without taking the network offline.
• 
Interfaces with RPVST+* protocol for greater flexibility and  
interoperability in Cisco networks.
• 
Advanced Layer 3 IPv4 and IPv6 functionality.
• 
Flexible routing options with policy-based routing to route  
packets based on assigned criteria beyond destination address.
• 
Remote Switch Port Analyzer (RSPAN) monitors ports across a 
Layer 2 domain without costly dedicated network taps.
