1 RU 24-port 2.5GbE switch

This Dell Networking N2224X-ON provides 24 RJ-45 ports at 10/100/1G/2.5G Base-T, four 25GbE SFP28 uplinks and two 40GbE QSFP+ stacking ports. It runs OS6 and includes one hot-swappable 550W AC PSU and two hot-swappable fans in a 1 RU chassis.

Who it suits and who it does not

Teams needing high-density multi-gigabit copper access with fast uplinks and stacking in one appliance will find this switch fits. Buyers who require Power over Ethernet or a redundant power supply from day one should look elsewhere.

Deciding specification

The 24 ports of 2.5GbE copper combined with four 25GbE SFP28 uplinks and two 40GbE QSFP+ stacking ports determine whether this unit matches your aggregation and stacking design.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 550W PSU draw when all 24 ports run at 2.5GbE all day?

The switch ships with a single hot-swappable 550W AC PSU; total draw depends on PoE load and fan speed, which vary with traffic and temperature.

Which transceivers and cables must I already have to use the 25GbE SFP28 uplinks and 40GbE QSFP+ stacking ports?

You need 25GbE SFP28 modules or DACs for the four uplinks and 40GbE QSFP+ modules or DACs for the two rear stacking ports.

Can the 24 Base-T ports auto-negotiate down to 10/100/1G for older switches and servers I keep?

Yes, each of the 24 ports supports 10, 100, 1G and 2.5G Base-T and will negotiate the highest common speed with legacy gear.
