Introduction
This document provides basic information about the Dell®Networking
N2128PX-ON/N3132PX-ON switches, including how to install a switch and
perform the initial configuration. For information about how to configure and
monitor switch features, refer to the User Configuration Guide, which is
available on the Dell Support website at dell.com/support, for the latest
updates on documentation and firmware.
NOTE: Switch administrators are strongly advised to maintain Dell Networking
switches on the latest version of the Dell Networking Operating System (DNOS).
Dell Networking continually improves the features and functions of DNOS based on
feedback from you, the customer. For critical infrastructure, pre-staging of the new
release into a non-critical portion of the network is recommended to verify network
configuration and operation with the new DNOS version.
N2128PX-ON Hardware Overview
This section contains information about device characteristics and modular
hardware configurations for the Dell Networking N2128PX-ON switch.
