About N-Series Switches
SonicOS manages critical network elements such as appliances and switches individually. Dell N-Series switches and Dell N-Series Solution allow unified management of both the appliance and the N-Series switch using the appliance’s management interface and GMS. In certain deployments, the number of ports required might easily exceed the maximum number of interfaces available on the TZ series appliance. With Dell N-Series Solution, ports on the N-Series switch can be viewed as extended interfaces of the appliance, thereby increasing the number of available interfaces.
One fundamental difference between N-Series switches and N-Series Solution, is the method by which the switch is programmed by the appliance;
- N-Series Solution uses XML API as the mechanism for the Security Appliance to push/retrieve configuration to/from the switch.
- N-Series Solution uses CLI as the mechanism to configure the switch and retrieve config from the switch.
The functionality of the N-Series Solution supported on TZ series platforms is on a par with the feature set of the N-Series Solution supported on these platforms and is similar to the Dell X-Series Switch Solution. A maximum of four N-Series switches is supported. In the scenario where both N-series and N-Series switches are integrated with the same firewall, a maximum of four N-series + N-Series switches combined can be supported. Daisy-chaining of N-series switches is also supported.
The following are the key set of features supported with the initial phase of the Dell Switch Integration solution:
- Provisioning of N-Series Switch as Extended Switch
- PortShield Functionality
- Configuration of N-Series Switch Interface Settings
- Manageability of basic N-Series Switch Global Parameters
- Manageability of Extended Switch using GMS
- High Availability plus PortShield
- Diagnostics support for N-Series switch
- Daisy-Chaining of N-Series switches
