Data Center Switch

AS7326-56X

The Edgecore DCS203 switch is a Top-of-Rack (TOR) switch for high-performance data centers. In a compact 1RU

form factor, the switch provides line-rate L2 and L3 switching across the 48 x SFP28 + 8 x QSFP28 ports, and each

QSFP28 port can be conﬁgured as 4 x 25 GbE, 1 x 40 GbE, or 4 x 10 GbE by using DAC breakout cables. The DCS203

can be deployed as a TOR switch supporting 10/25 GbE to servers with 40/100 GbE uplinks. This open network

switch is loaded with the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE), which supports the installation of compatible

Network Operating System (NOS) soﬅware, including the open source plus commercial NOS oﬀerings.

■ Cost-eﬀective, open network switch for data center fabric.

■ Deploy as Top-of-Rack switch supporting 10 or 25 GbE to servers, with 40 GbE, or 100 GbE uplinks.

■ 48 x SFP28 + 8 x QSFP28 switch ports, each QSFP28 supporting 1 x 100 GbE or 1 x 40 GbE, or via breakout

cables, 4 x 25 GbE, or 4 x 10 GbE.

■ Layer 2 or Layer 3 forwarding of 4 Tbps (full duplex).

■ Supports hot/cold aisles with port-to-power and power-to-port airﬂow SKUs.

■ All ports on front; PSUs and fans accessible from rear.

■ Hot-swappable, load-sharing, redundant AC or -48V DC PSUs.

■ 5+1 redundant, hot-swappable fan modules.

■ Energy eﬃcient.

■ Hardware switch pre-loaded with Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) for automated loading of

compatible open source and commerical NOS oﬀerings.
