The 7250X Series enables highly scalable two-tier network designs with MLAG, ECMP and VXLAN technologies

MLAG Spine - All Active Multipath for Layer 2

  • Standards based protocol (LACP)
  • Simplified or eliminates Spanning Tree topology
  • Simple to understand and easy to engineer traffic

ECMP - All Active Multipath for Layer 3

  • Standards based protocol (OSPF, BGP)
  • Eliminates L2 for exceptional scalability and fault tolerance
  • Exceptional scale with consistent performance in 2 tiers

VXLAN Layer 2 over Layer 3 - Best of Both Worlds

  • All active multipath using ECMP (up to 64-way)
  • Single L3 network for all applications
  • L2 extensions for stateful VM - VM over Layer 3
  • Extends L2 with exceptional scalibilty (16M Virtual NWs)
  • Cloudburst over public infrastructure

40GbE Spine and Spline™ solution for open, simple and scalable networking

The Arista 7250QX switches deliver wirespeed 40GbE performance, offering the highest density 2RU 10/40GbE switch in the world. The 7250QX-64 is the ideal switch for:

  • Ultra-high density 40GbE switching in a compact fixed form-factor
  • Collapsed Spline for middle or end of row designs replacing legacy switches
  • Purpose-built spine aggregation switching (5.12 Tbps switching capacity)
  • Scaling uplink bandwidth between data center leaf switches
