210-AGZL - Dell PowerSwitch S6100-ON Modular TOR Switch

Dell 210-AGZL is the S6100-ON 2U modular Top-of-Rack switch chassis (empty slot) supporting 10/25/40/50/100GbE via interchangeable I/O modules.

The Dell 210-AGZL is the manufacturer part number for the Dell EMC/PowerSwitch Networking S6100-ON, a high-density, modular 2U Top-of-Rack (TOR) open networking switch built for data center spine and leaf deployments. This SKU represents the base chassis configuration with an empty I/O module bay (no line cards pre-installed) plus two fixed 1/10GbE SFP+ uplink ports. The chassis accepts up to four field-replaceable I/O modules, letting customers mix and match 40GbE QSFP+, 100GbE QSFP28, or CXP module types to scale from 10GbE up to 100GbE per port as needed. It runs Dell Networking OS9 (or ONIE-based OS10) and delivers Layer 3 switching with a 6.4Tbps switching fabric, making it suitable for enterprises and service providers building scalable, high-throughput leaf/spine or top-of-rack fabrics.

Q: What product does Dell part number 210-AGZL correspond to?

A: 210-AGZL maps to the Dell EMC/PowerSwitch Networking S6100-ON, a modular 2U Top-of-Rack switch, specifically the base chassis configuration with an empty I/O module slot, confirmed across multiple reseller listings.

Q: Does 210-AGZL include I/O modules by default?

A: No. Distributor listings identify this SKU as an 'EMPTY SLOT' configuration, meaning I/O modules (40GbE, 100GbE, or CXP) are sold and installed separately.

Q: What is the switching capacity of the S6100-ON?

A: According to the official Dell spec sheet and third-party technical listings, the S6100-ON provides a switching I/O bandwidth of 6.4 Tbps with forwarding capacity of up to 4400 Mpps in full duplex.

Q: What port speeds does the S6100-ON support?

A: The switch supports flexible 10/25/40/50/100GbE configurations depending on which I/O modules are installed in its four module bays, alongside two fixed SFP+ ports.

Q: Does the S6100-ON support PoE?

A: No, per reseller documentation the S6100-ON does not support Power over Ethernet, making it suited for data center rather than PoE endpoint deployments.

Q: What operating temperature range does this switch support?

A: The Dell installation guide specifies an environmental temperature range of 0° to 45°C, with a standard switch operating ambient range of 10° to 35°C.

Q: What operating system does the S6100-ON run?
