Dell Force10 S55T 44x 1GbE RJ-45 4x SFP 1U L3 Network Switch S55-PWR-AC 3D31H

This Dell Force10 S55T (Part Number: 3D31H) is a high-performance, energy-efficient 1U Layer 3 switch designed for enterprise core, distribution, and data center environments. Equipped with 44 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports and 4 SFP fiber uplink slots, this unit delivers non-blocking switching capacity of up to 176 Gbps. It features a robust set of dynamic routing protocols, including OSPF and BGP, making it ideal for complex network architectures requiring high availability and low latency. The unit comes with a standard AC power supply (S55-PWR-AC) and supports hot-swappable fans to ensure maximum uptime for critical network infrastructure.

Features List:

High-Density Connectivity: Provides 44 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports for high-density server or workstation aggregation, plus 4 SFP uplinks for fiber backbone connectivity.

Advanced Layer 3 Routing: Supports full dynamic routing capabilities (OSPFv2, BGP-4, ISIS) to efficiently route traffic between VLANs and subnets without bottlenecking the core router.

Low Latency & Non-Blocking Architecture: Designed with a switching fabric of 176 Gbps, ensuring wire-speed performance across all ports simultaneously.

Data Center Ready: Supports jumbo frames (up to 12KB) to improve efficiency for large data transfers and storage area network (SAN) traffic.

Energy Efficient Design: Optimized thermal design with variable-speed fans reduces power consumption and operational noise compared to competing chassis-based switches.

Hot-Swappable Components: Features redundant, hot-swappable fan trays and supports an optional redundant power supply, allowing for maintenance without network downtime.

Robust Security: Includes RADIUS, TACACS+ for authentication, Access Control Lists (ACLs), and DHCP Snooping to secure network access and prevent attacks.

Comprehensive Management: Offers a familiar Command Line Interface (CLI) similar to other enterprise Dell Force10 and PowerConnect switches, along with SNMP support for integration with Nagios, SolarWinds, and other monitoring tools.
