Datasheet

The Dell 7000 Series switches are designed to oer 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 oer 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 Ecient
Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) ports to help reduce per port power
consumption while decrease cooling and power costs. Select
models oer 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 eciency 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 sta to
remote oces.
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 trac 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 sta to remote oces.
• 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 Ecient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) ports reduce per port
power consumption when link is idle or if ports are inactive
• Ecient 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
