N2K-B22DELL-P is a blade fabric extender for the Dell PowerEdge M1000e, connecting 16 internal 1/10GBASE-KR host interfaces to eight fixed 10G SFP+ fabric uplinks. The Layer 2 module belongs to the Cisco Nexus B22 family and operates as a remote line card rather than an independent Ethernet switch. Server traffic travels to a compatible upstream parent for switching and policy enforcement, including traffic between blades attached to the same extender. The blade fabric extender for Dell occupies an enclosure I/O slot rather than a standalone rack position. Internal host links use the enclosure midplane, so this configuration does not provide RJ-45 connections for external endpoints. Front-facing fabric interfaces connect the module to the parent switching system.

400 Gbps switching capacity and 297 Mpps forwarding performance support the module's hardware forwarding functions; fabric throughput is 80 Gbps in each direction, so the hardware forwarding rating is not the available upstream bandwidth. 9216-byte jumbo frames accommodate larger Ethernet payloads, while eight hardware queues per port provide traffic scheduling with strict-priority queuing and Weighted Round Robin. Local classification supports 256 ACL entries, with broader switching policies enforced through the parent. PortChannel on server interfaces and Cisco EtherChannel on fabric interfaces support link aggregation within the distributed switching system. N2K-B22DELL-P exposes operating status through power, health, and port LEDs, with Syslog, SNMP, and XML interfaces available through parent-managed operation. SPAN source support on server ports provides traffic visibility, while bootup diagnostics and POST support fault isolation. 70W maximum input power establishes the module's enclosure power allocation; typical operation draws 56W. The blade chassis supplies electrical power and airflow, rather than separate module power supplies or a dedicated fan tray.
ORM Systems offers N2K-B22DELL-P new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, optics bay recognition, and a clean boot, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify the condition, quantity, and required fabric-link accessories on the purchase order. ORM's new-unit warranty offers up to a 3-year extended term, certified refurbished coverage is up to 1 year, and returns cover 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco warranty and service ended October 31, 2025; enterprise and volume orders can use PO acceptance and Net-30 for government.

When staging a replacement before installation, the fabric extender automatically receives its software image from the parent switch. Existing Nexus 5500 installations require NX-OS 5.2(1)N1(3) or later for this module. Record the installed parent model and software release, then confirm compatibility before releasing the purchase order.
When maintaining replacement stock across regional sites, the destination region and spare quantity need to be settled alongside the hardware identity. ORM Systems supports regional stock and RMA across the UK, EU, US, and MEA. Specify each site's required quantity and destination region before issuing the purchase order.
Standalone switching without a parent
N2K-B22DELL-P forwards traffic to a compatible upstream parent and receives its configuration through that connection. The module cannot replace an independently operating Ethernet switch.
Nonblocking bandwidth from every host
N2K-B22DELL-P has 2:1 host-to-fabric oversubscription. Simultaneous traffic from every host interface can exceed fabric bandwidth, so the module does not provide nonblocking host-to-fabric connectivity.
Active Cisco service coverage
Cisco service for N2K-B22DELL-P ended October 31, 2025. The product is discontinued, and no replacement is available for this Dell fabric-extender line.

N2K-B22DELL-P identifies the Cisco B22 Fabric Extender for Dell, with B22 naming the blade fabric extender and DELL identifying its enclosure variant. The module connects 16 internal 1/10GBASE-KR host interfaces to eight 10G SFP+ fabric interfaces and operates through a compatible upstream parent switch.
N2K-B22DELL-P is managed through its parent Cisco Nexus switch using the CLI, Cisco DCNM, CiscoWorks, SNMP v1/v2/v3, and XML interfaces including NETCONF. Configuration reaches the fabric extender through in-band communication. Syslog and RMON provide monitoring functions without creating a separate configuration point on the module.
N2K-B22DELL-P is discontinued: end of sale was October 4, 2020, and Cisco support ended October 31, 2025. Vulnerability/security support ended October 4, 2023. No replacement is available for this Dell fabric-extender line, so existing hardware operation must be distinguished from eligibility for Cisco service.
ORM Systems offers N2K-B22DELL-P new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on refurbished units. Returns cover 30 days in every condition; terms apply. Cisco warranty and service ended October 31, 2025. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested.
N2K-B22DELL-P requires no separate fabric-extender license or standalone subscription term. The fabric extender image is bundled with the parent switch's NX-OS system image and is automatically verified during association. Parent-switch feature licensing remains separate from the module's own requirement, so upstream entitlements determine the available parent features.
N2K-B22DELL-P supports FET-10G, SFP-10G-SR, SFP-10G-LR, and SFP-10G-ER on its fixed 10G SFP+ fabric interfaces. Copper options include SFP-H10GB-CU1M, SFP-H10GB-CU3M, and SFP-H10GB-CU5M. FET-10G requires FET-10G at the opposite end; select the connection type and length for each parent link before ordering.
The Nexus B22 Dell module receives power and cooling from the Dell PowerEdge M1000e blade enclosure rather than separate module supplies or fans. Electrical input is 12V DC, typical operating power is 56W, and maximum input power is 70W. Enclosure power allocation must accommodate the maximum input figure.
The Nexus B22 Dell module has twice the aggregate host-interface bandwidth of its fabric-interface bandwidth when all host interfaces operate at 10G. Fabric throughput is 80 Gbps in each direction. Simultaneous host traffic can therefore exceed available upstream bandwidth, even though the hardware forwarding engine has a higher performance rating.
N2K-B22DELL-F includes 16 FET-10G transceivers, while N2K-B22DELL-P identifies the Dell fabric-extender module ordering form. Both products are discontinued and reached Cisco's last date of support on October 31, 2025. The bundle suits matching FET-10G link requirements; the module form suits separately specified fabric connections.
The Nexus B22 Dell fabric extender installs inside a Dell PowerEdge M1000e enclosure I/O slot, not directly in a standalone rack position. The blade enclosure provides the mechanical housing, power, and cooling. Purchase planning must therefore include the compatible enclosure rather than treating the module as a desktop or rack switch.
