Description
Product Overview
The 8V91F Dell Networking N4064F is a managed Layer 3 switch designed for enterprise-level networking. It comes with 48 10-Gigabit SFP+ ports and 2 40-Gigabit QSFP+ ports. The switch also has dual AC power supplies and rack ears for easy installation.
Managed Switch
The 8V91F Dell Networking N4064F is a managed switch, meaning it has advanced features that allow administrators to configure and control the switch’s behavior. This is in contrast to unmanaged switches, which have limited functionality and cannot be configured beyond basic settings. Managed switches are typically used in larger networks, where advanced features such as VLANs, QoS, and security are required.
Layer 3 Switching
The N4064F is a Layer 3 switch, which means it has the capability to route traffic between different subnets. This is in contrast to Layer 2 switches, which only operate at the MAC address level and cannot route traffic between different IP subnets. Layer 3 switches are commonly used in larger networks where multiple subnets need to communicate with each other.
48 10-Gigabit SFP+ Ports
The N4064F has 48 10-Gigabit SFP+ ports, which are small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports that support data rates of up to 10 Gbps. SFP+ ports are commonly used in high-speed networking applications such as data centers, where large amounts of data need to be transferred quickly and efficiently.
2 40-Gigabit QSFP+ Ports
In addition to the 48 10-Gigabit SFP+ ports, the N4064F also has 2 40-Gigabit QSFP+ ports. QSFP+ stands for Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus, and it is a high-speed interface that supports data rates of up to 40 Gbps. QSFP+ ports are commonly used in high-performance computing applications such as data centers, where large amounts of data need to be processed quickly.
Dual AC Power Supplies
The N4064F comes with dual AC power supplies, which provide redundancy in case one power supply fails. Redundant power supplies are important in enterprise-level networking equipment because they help ensure uptime and minimize downtime in the event of a power supply failure.
Rack Ears
The N4064F also comes with rack ears, which are used to mount the switch in a standard equipment rack. Rack ears are important for data center environments, where multiple networking devices are often housed in racks for easy management and organization.
In Summary, the 8V91F Dell Networking N4064F is a powerful and versatile managed Layer 3 switch that is ideal for high-speed networking applications such as data centers. With 48 10-Gigabit SFP+ ports, 2 40-Gigabit QSFP+ ports, dual AC power supplies, and rack ears, the N4064F is designed to meet the demanding requirements of enterprise-level networks. Whether you are looking to upgrade your existing network infrastructure or build a new one from scratch, the N4064F is a great choice for reliable and high-performance networking.
