Overview:
High performance open networking 1GbE and 10GbE Multigigabit switches for modern workloads at the network edge
The E3200 switch series offers power-efficient and resilient 1GbE and 1/2.5/5/10GbE Multigigabit range of switching solution for advanced Layer 3 distribution for large enterprise offices, branches and edge networks. The series has high-performance capabilities and wire-speed performance utilizing a non-blocking architecture to easily handle unexpected traffic loads. Use dual internal hotswappable 80PLUS Platinum certified power supplies for high availability and power efficiency. The switches offer simple management and scalability.
Modernize edge networking
Modernize your network edge with a power-efficient and resilient 1/2.5/5/10GbE switching solution with dense options of 802.3at (30W) or 802.3bt (60W/90W) PoE solutions to deliver clean power to wide range network devices such as wireless access points (APs), Voice-overIP (VoIP) handsets, video conferencing systems, security cameras, LED luminaires and many more.
Achieve high availability and full bandwidth utilization with Multichassis Link Aggregation (MLAG)*. E3200 series switches support MLAG to create active/active loopfree redundancy without spanning tree. Server rooms can deliver reliable server and storage connectivity with features to help save time and avoid configuration errors. E3200 supports VRF-lite*, allowing it to be partitioned into multiple virtual routers with isolated control and data planes on the same physical switch. For greater interoperability in multivendor networks, E3200 switches offer the latest open-standard protocols.
Leverage familiar tools and practices
E3200 series 48-port models support Enterprise SONiC Distribution by Dell Technologies, an innovative, scalable open source network operating system designed for large-scale data center fabrics with enterprise-grade management features and 24/7 global support. 24 port model supports Dell SmartFabric OS10, designed for easier deployment, greater interoperability and a lower learning curve for network administrators. E3200 switches also support the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE), enabling installation of alternate network operating systems
Deploy with confidence at any scale
E3200 series switches help create performance assurance with a data rate up to 1560Gbps (full duplex) and a forwarding rate up to 2167Mpps. Uplink easily with built-in rear high capacity ports.
Note: *Network operating system specific.
