Description

The Arista DCS-7280CR2A-60-F is a high-density 2RU data center switch router featuring 60 100GbE QSFP28 ports with 12 Tbps non-blocking throughput. Built on a deep buffer VOQ architecture with 24GB packet buffer and 3.8µs latency, it delivers full Layer 2/3 routing with AlgoMatch policy forwarding, BGP, MPLS, EVPN, VXLAN, and 128-way ECMP. Ideal for spine, core, and DCI deployments requiring wire-speed performance and advanced telemetry.

Features

Virtual Output Queue (VOQ) architecture eliminates head-of-line blocking
- 24GB deep packet buffer for burst absorption and congestion handling
- Wire-speed Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding with full routing protocol support
- AlgoMatch policy-based forwarding for flexible ACLs and traffic steering
- Accelerated sFlow for wire-speed network telemetry at up to 1.6 Mpps
- 128-way ECMP for load balancing in leaf-spine fabrics
- EVPN and VXLAN support for network virtualization and overlay networks
- MPLS and Segment Routing (SR-MPLS) for WAN and DCI
- IEEE 1588v2 PTP hardware timestamping for precision time synchronization
- Arista EOS with stateful fault repair and in-service software upgrades
- CloudVision integration for network-wide automation and telemetry
- Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) for rapid deployment
- LANZ (Latency Analyzer) for microburst detection
- Hot-swappable dual power supplies and N+1 redundant fan trays
- Advanced Event Management (AEM) for automated response to network events
- OpenConfig, gNMI, and JSON-RPC eAPI for programmability

FAQs

Q: What is AlgoMatch on the DCS-7280CR2A-60-F?
A: AlgoMatch is Arista's hardware-accelerated policy engine that enables flexible access control, policy-based forwarding, and high-scale network telemetry. It combines general-purpose memory with advanced algorithms to deliver higher scale and performance with lower power consumption than traditional TCAM-based solutions.

Q: Can the QSFP28 ports be broken out to lower speeds?
A: Yes, each 100GbE QSFP28 port supports breakout configurations: 2x50GbE, 4x25GbE, or 4x10GbE per port, providing deployment flexibility for mixed-speed environments and migration scenarios.

Q: What types of transceivers are supported?
A: The switch supports a wide range of 100G optics including 100GBASE-SR4, LR4, DR, FR, CWDM4, ZR/ZR+, and direct-attach copper (DAC) or active optical cables (AOC). Consult Arista's transceiver compatibility matrix for the complete list.

Q: Is the DCS-7280CR2A-60-F suitable for EVPN/VXLAN deployments?
A: Yes, the switch is purpose-built for EVPN/VXLAN overlay networks with full Layer 2/3 gateway capabilities, deep buffers for burst absorption in spine/leaf fabrics, and support for MPLS, Segment Routing, and data center interconnect use cases.

Q: What differentiates this model from the DCS-7280CR2K-60-F?
A: The DCS-7280CR2A-60-F features AlgoMatch for policy-based forwarding, while the 7280CR2K-60 includes AlgoMatch-2 with enhanced scale and expanded memory. Both offer 60x100GbE ports and 12Tbps throughput, but differ in ACL scale and telemetry capabilities.
