Line Cards

This appendix displays the line cards supported by modular switches covered by this guide.

DCS-7500E-36Q-LC

The 36 port QSFP+ line card has 36 QSFP+ ports that allow for a high degree of flexibility in a mixed 10G/40G network. All QSFP+ ports can operate as either a single 40Gb Ethernet port or quad 10Gb Ethernet ports with up to 36 ports of 40G or 144 ports of high-density 10G.

DCS-7500E-72S-LC

The 48 SFP+ and 2 port 100GbE MXP line card provides a flexible combination of 48 ports of SFP+ and 2 MPO ports for up to 72 10Gb Ethernet ports. The two 100G MTP/MPO ports provide 100G capability using Arista Multi-speed Ports (MXP) with integrated optics. MXP ports use 100GBASE-SR10 (Short Range) transceivers and are fully compatible with any standards compliant 100GBASE-SR10 ports. Each MXP port can be easily configured as a single 100Gb, triple 40Gb or twelve 10Gb Ethernet.

DCS-7500E-48S-LC

The 48 port 1/10GbE SFP+ line card has 48 SFP+ ports. Having 48 ports of SFP+ ports allows this line card the flexibility to utilize any existing Arista SFP+ optic or direct attach cables, and to support both 1Gb and 10Gb speeds.

DCS-7500E-12CM-LC

The 12 x 100G MTP/MPO line card provides high density 100G using Arista Multi-speed Ports (MXP) with embedded optics. The MXP ports use 100GBASE-SR10 (Short Range) transceivers and are fully compatible with any standards compliant 100GBASE-SR10 ports. Each MXP port can be enabled in single 100Gb, triple 40Gb or twelve 10Gb Ethernet mode for up to 12 – 100Gb, 36 – 40Gb and 144 – 10Gb Ethernet ports per line card. Since each of MXP ports come with integrated optics, no external transceivers are required for this line card.

DCS-7500E-6C2-LC

The 6 x 100G CFP2 line card provides high performance 100G using industry standard CFP2 optics that are hot pluggable. The CFP2 form factor is designed to allow for long haul optics with a size that is approximately 50% smaller than the CFP optic. As a result CFP2 based line cards allow for up to 6 ports per line card, which increases overall system density. The CFP2 form factor allows 100GbE optics to be installed and with the use of 10x10 and 2x40 mode a choice of 10/40/100GbE.

DCS-7500E-12CQ-LC

The 12 x 100G QSFP100 line card provides high density 100G using industry standard QSFP100 optics. The QSFP100 form factor is identical to the size of the 40G QSFP+ allowing for either 40GbE or 100GbE optics to be installed, for a dual speed choice of 40/100GbE on all ports. With 12 ports of 100GbE the card allows each port to operate in a choice of 4 x 10GbE (using 40GbE optics), 40GbE, or 100GbE.

DCS-7500R-36CQ-LC

The 36 ports QSFP100 line card allows for a high degree of flexibility in a mixed 10G/40G/100G environment. All 36 ports can operate as either a single 100Gb or 40Gb Ethernet port. A wide range of additional interface speed flexibility is possible, with all ports able to support 4 x 10G Ethernet, 4 x 25G Ethernet or 2 x 50G Ethernet. This flexibility allows for a choice of 5 speeds on all ports and allow for simple migration from 10G to 100G and a wide range of combinations.

DCS-7500R-36Q-LC

The 36 port QSFP+ line card allows for a wide range of flexibility in a mixed 10G/40G environment. All QSFP+ ports can operate as either a single 40Gb Ethernet port. Additional interface flexibility is possible, with up to 24 ports able to support 4x10G mode and 6 ports of 1x100G mode. These interface speed choices allow for simple migration from 10G to 100G and a wide range of possible combinations.
