DELL Force10 S25N/S50N 1/10Gb Ethernet Switch

The Dell Force10 S25N and S50N are high-performance Layer 2/3 Gigabit Ethernet switches designed for the edge of the network and data center aggregation. These 1U compact switches provide the density and intelligence required by demanding server and storage environments.

The S25N features 24 ports of 10/100/1000Base-T, while the S50N provides 48 ports, making them versatile for various business scales. Both models support high-speed 10GbE uplinks through optional modules (XFP or CX4), ensuring bottleneck-free communication with the network core. With 96 Gbps stacking capacity, administrators can manage multiple switches as a single entity, simplifying operations and enhancing redundancy. Integrated PoE support (up to 790W total) makes these switches an excellent choice for converged networks.

Key Specifications:

• Capacity: Up to 192 Gbps user traffic throughput and 131 Mpps forwarding rate (S50V).

• Modularity: Two expansion slots supporting up to four 10GbE ports.

• Stacking: Reliable ring stacking topology with up to 384 ports per stack.

• Routing: Full support for IPv4/IPv6, RIP, OSPF, and BGP protocols.

• Power: Redundant AC/DC power options and Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability.
