2.3.3.1 Dell Networking S3048-ON switch

The Dell Networking S3048-ON switch is a 1GbE enterprise switching platform that

supports both an industry hardened OS and open networking, providing freedom to run

third-party operating systems (OS). This is configured as the management switch. The

ports on the switch are preconfigured and precabled to provide secure and isolated access

to the hardware components in the DISOD solution rack. This dedicated management

switch also ensures the segregation of the public and the private rack network traffic.

NOTE: For the remainder of this document S3048-ON switch will be referred to as

S3048, unless stated otherwise.
