Overview

The Dell PowerSwitch N1124T-ON is a Layer 2+ managed gigabit Ethernet switch built for businesses that need reliable, high-performance networking without unnecessary complexity. With 24 x 1GbE copper ports and four 10GbE SFP+ uplinks, it serves as an effective access-layer switch that can connect to higher-speed core infrastructure. The 176Gbps full-duplex switching capacity and 164Mpps forwarding rate ensure that even demanding workloads—such as VoIP, video streaming, and large file transfers—are handled without congestion.

What sets the N1124T-ON apart from many switches in its class is its open networking support through ONIE, giving network administrators the option to deploy alternative operating systems alongside Dell EMC Networking OS 6. Management is straightforward with both CLI and GUI access, making day-to-day configuration and monitoring accessible to teams with varying levels of expertise. Its energy-efficient design also helps keep power consumption in check for organizations running multiple switches across their infrastructure.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Four 10GbE SFP+ uplink ports provide high-bandwidth connectivity to core network infrastructure.
  • Open networking support via ONIE allows flexibility to run alternative network operating systems.
  • 176Gbps full-duplex switching capacity handles heavy traffic loads without bottlenecks.
  • Both CLI and GUI management options accommodate different administrator preferences.
  • Energy-efficient design helps reduce operational costs in always-on network environments.

👎 Cons

  • Limited to 24 1GbE ports, which may not be sufficient for larger network deployments without stacking.
  • SFP+ uplink ports require separate transceiver modules, adding to the total cost.
  • No built-in PoE support, so powered devices like access points or IP cameras need a separate power source.
  • Dell EMC Networking OS 6 has a learning curve for administrators unfamiliar with Dell's CLI syntax.
