Arista DCS-7010TX-48C-DC-R | 7010X 48-Port Gigabit Switch, 4x 25G SFP+, Compact DC

Q: What is the difference between the 7010TX-48C and standard 7010TX-48 models?
A: The 7010TX-48C is a compact variant designed for space-constrained deployments. It features the same 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4x 25G SFP+ uplinks but in a more compact form factor. The -DC suffix indicates DC power input, and the -R indicates rear-to-front airflow direction.

Q: Can this switch support 10GBASE-T on the copper ports?
A: The 7010TX-48C-DC supports 10/100/1000BASE-T auto-negotiation on the 48 RJ45 ports. The 10G and 25G connectivity is provided through the 4 dedicated SFP+ uplink ports using appropriate optical or DAC transceivers.

Q: What DC voltage does this model accept?
A: The 7010TX-48C-DC-R accepts standard DC power input with dual redundant power supplies. Specific voltage ranges typically support -40V to -72V DC for telecom and data center environments. Consult the datasheet for exact voltage specifications.

Q: Is this switch suitable for out-of-band management networks?
A: Yes, the Arista 7010TX-48C-DC-R is specifically designed for high-density 1G applications including out-of-band management networks, offering low latency, comprehensive Layer 2/3 features, and integration with CloudVision for centralized monitoring and automation.

Q: Does this model support VXLAN and EVPN for modern data center fabrics?
A: Yes, the 7010X Series running Arista EOS supports VXLAN routing and bridging, EVPN control plane, MLAG for high availability, and ECMP for load balancing, making it suitable for leaf-spine architectures and overlay network deployments.
