Description

The Arista DCS-7060SX2-48YC6-R is a high-performance, fixed-configuration data center switch designed for next-generation cloud and enterprise networks. It offers a flexible combination of port speeds and advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, making it suitable for high-density deployments.

The Arista DCS-7060SX2-48YC6-R is a 1RU switch that delivers 48 ports of 25G SFP28 and 6 ports of 100G QSFP28, providing a total switching capacity of up to 3.6 Tbsp.. The SFP28 ports can be configured to operate at 10G or 25G speeds, while the QSFP28 ports support multiple speeds, including 100GbE, 40GbE, 4x10GbE, 4x25GbE, or 2x50GbE. This flexibility allows for seamless integration into various network architectures.

The switch features back-to-front airflow, ensuring efficient cooling in data center environments. It is equipped with redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fan modules, enhancing reliability and ease of maintenance. The device runs on Arista’s Extensible Operating System (EOS), offering advanced features for network automation, monitoring, and provisioning.

Key Features & Benefits (Arista DCS-7060SX2-48YC6-R)

• Handles 3.6 Tbps of switching capacity with 2.7 Bpps forwarding rate, ensuring traffic moves quickly even under load.
• Allows SFP28 ports to flexibly operate at 25G, 10G, or 1G speeds, while QSFP28 uplinks support 100G, 40G, or breakout options.
• Includes a 22 MB shared packet buffer pool, dynamically allocated to congested ports, helping maintain stability during traffic bursts.
• Built with redundant fans and power supplies (1+1 redundant), so you can swap parts without major downtime.
• Provides a large MAC address table (≈ 136,000 entries) and Cisco-like robust control plane options via Arista EOS.

Use Cases:

• Equip rack server farms needing dense 25G server connectivity with reliable uplinks to aggregation switches.
• Serve as a leaf node in leaf-spine architectures, where low-latency forwarding and high bandwidth matter.
• Build out cloud infrastructure or data center backbones, scaling port count and speed without replacing core switches.
• Deploy in environments requiring specific airflow orientation (back-to-front) to match existing cooling layouts.
