Introduction

This document provides basic information about the Dell
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

NOTE:
Switch administrators are strongly advised to maintain Dell Networking

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.
