For initial deployments, the C9010 can be deployed as a traditional campus switching platform without the Dell Networking C1048P Rapid Access Node serving to aggregate legacy switching platforms in wiring closets. The C1048P, on the other hand, can be deployed either stand-alone or in a stacked configuration. It can extend capabilities of C9010 Network Director by providing enhanced power over Ethernet as well as user access and connectivity back to the C9010.
