Introduction

This document provides basic information about the Dell Networking N1500

Series switches, including how to install a switch and perform the initial

configuration. For information about how to configure and monitor switch

features, see the User’s Configuration Guide, which is available on the Dell

Support website at dell.com/support for the latest updates on documentation

and firmware.

This document contains the following sections:

• Dell Networking N1500 Series Overview

• Hardware Overview

• Dell Networking N1500 Series Installation

• Starting and Configuring the Dell Networking N1500 Series Switch

• NOM Information (Mexico Only)

NOTE: Switch administrators are strongly advised to maintain Dell Networking

switches on the latest version of the Dell Networking Operating System. Dell

Networking continually improves the features and functions of Dell OS based on

feedback from you, the customer. For critical infrastructure, prestaging of the new

release into a noncritical portion of the network is recommended to verify network

configuration and operation with the new Dell OS version.

Switch Ports

The Dell Networking N1524/N1524P front panel provides 24 Gigabit

Ethernet (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T) RJ-45 ports that support

auto-negotiation for speed, flow control, and duplex. The Dell Networking

N1500 Series models support four SFP+ 10G ports. Dell-qualified SFP+

transceivers are sold separately.

The Dell Networking N1548/N1548P front panel provides 48 Gigabit

Ethernet (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T) RJ-45 ports that support

auto-negotiation for speed, flow control, and duplex. The N1548/N1548P

support four SFP+ 10G ports. Dell-qualified SFP+ transceivers are sold

separately.

The front-panel switch ports have the following characteristics:

• The switch automatically detects the difference between crossed and

straight-through cables on RJ-45 ports and automatically chooses the MDI

or MDIX configuration to match the other end.

• RJ-45 ports support full-duplex and half-duplex mode 10/100/1000 Mbps

speeds on standard Category 5 UTP cable, using 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX

and 1000BASE-T technologies. 1000BASE-T operation requires auto-

negotiation to be enabled.

• The four SFP+ ports support SFP+ (SR, LR) transceivers and SFP+

copper twin-ax (CR) transceivers plus SFP transceivers operating at 1G.

SFP+ ports operate in full-duplex mode only.

• The N1524P/N1548P front panel ports support PoE (15.4W) and

PoE+ (25.5W).
