Datasheet

The Edgecore DCS209 switch meets the high-performance, availability, and network-scaling requirements of
enterprise and cloud data centers. The DCS209 provides full line-rate switching at Layer 2 or Layer 3 across 48 x
10GbE ports and 6 x 40GbE uplinks. The switch can be deployed either as a Top-of-Rack switch, or as part of a 10GbE
or 40GbE distributed spine, forming a non-blocking folded-Clos data center fabric. The switch is rack mountable in
either a standard 19 inch rack, or with the Open Rack Switch Adapter in the 21 inch Open Rack.
The DCS209 hardware provides the high-availability features required for data center operation, including;
redundant, hot-swappable AC power input, 4+1 redundant fan modules, and port-to-power or power-to-port airflow
options. The DCS209 is an ideal Top-of-Rack switch for virtualized data centers, with its support of VXLAN and
NVGRE tunneling functions in hardware, leveraging existing Cat 5e/Cat 6/Cat 6A/Cat 7 cabling infrastructure that
saves further investment. This open network switch is loaded with the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE),
which supports the installation of compatible Network Operating System soſtware, including the open source
options, plus commercial NOS offerings.
Cost-effective, open network switch for data center fabric.
