Arista DCS-7050DX4-32S-F | 7050X4 32-Port 400G Switch, 2x 10G SFP+, 12.8 Tbps

Q: What port speeds does the DCS-7050DX4-32S-F support?
A: Each of the 32 QSFP-DD ports supports flexible configuration at 400G, 200G, 100G, 50G, 40G, 25G, or 10G. Breakout cables enable up to 128x 10/25G ports or 144x 50G ports for maximum flexibility across diverse workloads.

Q: Is this switch suitable for AI/ML and high-performance computing workloads?
A: Yes. With 12.8 Tbps throughput, 900ns latency, and 132MB shared buffer, the 7050X4 is optimized for GPU-to-GPU traffic, AI/ML clusters, and high-frequency trading. It supports dynamic load balancing and intelligent buffer management for lossless Ethernet.

Q: What is the difference between the -F and -R model variants?
A: The DCS-7050DX4-32S-F features front-to-rear airflow (ideal for cold-aisle intake), while the -R variant has rear-to-front airflow. Both include dual AC power supplies. Choose based on your data center cooling architecture.

Q: Does the DCS-7050DX4-32S require any software licenses?
A: Arista EOS base features are included with the switch. Advanced capabilities such as VXLAN, EVPN, and full routing tables may require optional feature licenses depending on your deployment needs. Contact your Arista partner for licensing details.

Q: Can this switch be used in both leaf and spine topologies?
A: Absolutely. The 7050X4 is designed for both top-of-rack leaf and fixed-configuration spine deployments. Its high port density and flexible speed options make it ideal for scale-out data center fabrics, supporting modern Clos architectures and EVPN/VXLAN overlays.
