Dell EMC Networking N2100-ON Series Switch
Hardware
This section contains information about device characteristics and modular
hardware configurations for the Dell EMC Networking N2128PX-ON switch.
Front Panel
All N2128PX-ON PoE models are 1U, rack-mountable switches. The Dell
EMC Networking N2128PX-ON front panel provides 24 10/100/1000BASE-T
Ethernet RJ-45 ports and four 2500BASE-T Ethernet RJ-45 ports that support
auto-negotiation for speed, flow control, and duplex. The 2500BASE-T ports
support PoE 60W capability. The N2128PX switch front panel ports operate
in full duplex mode only. The N2128PX models support two SFP+ 10G ports.
The N2128PX-ON provides one RJ-45 console port for local management and
a Type-A USB port for storage.

The Dell N2128PX-ON switch is capable of loading an OS via the ONIE boot
loader, therefore the port numbering on the front panel labels is consecutive,
per the ONIE requirements, regardless of port type.
For the N2128PX-ON switch, ports 1-24 are 1G interfaces, ports 25-32 are
Multi-Gig interfaces, ports 33-34 are 10G interfaces, and rear panel ports 35-
36 are HiGig stacking interfaces.
To remain consistent with prior N-Series devices, CLI and GUI port
references will be non-consecutive when the port type changes. Ports labeled
1-32 on the front panel will be referred to in the UI as Gi1/0/X (where X =1 to
32), ports labeled 33-34 on the front panel will be referred to in the UI as
Te1/0/Y (where Y= 1 to 2) and ports labeled 35-36 on the rear panel will be
referred to as Tw1/1/W (where W=1 to 2).
