Description
The Arista 7280R3A is a 1RU fixed data centre switch router built for spine and leaf deployments in large-scale cloud and enterprise data centres. It also suits service provider networks, Internet peering, carrier edge VPN services, EVPN for 5G and metro, and secure inter-DC links. This is the Large Scale (R3AK) variant with TunnelSec encryption and secure boot enabled.
It provides 24 x 100GbE QSFP100 and 12 x 400GbE QSFP-DD ports with 7.2 Tbps throughput (14.4 Tbps full duplex), 2.7 Bpps forwarding and latency from 3.8 us. An 8 GB packet buffer sits alongside an eight-core x86 CPU, 64 GB system memory and a 480 GB SSD. TunnelSec delivers line-rate MACsec, IPsec and VXLANsec encryption on all ports. This SKU uses front-to-rear airflow with two hot-swap AC power supplies in a 1+1 configuration and three hot-swap fans.
It runs Arista EOS (minimum 4.31.1) and belongs to EOS Feature License Group 4. It supports 400G ZR/ZR+ optics, and breakout to 50G, 25G and 10G is available, with 40G via QSFP+. It is managed with Arista CloudVision and EOS.

FAQs
Q: Does this switch need a licence for TunnelSec encryption?

A: It uses two hot-swap AC supplies (PWR-1511-AC) in a 1+1 redundant configuration. Typical draw is 346 W and maximum is 845 W, measured at 25 C ambient with 50% load on all ports and excluding transceivers.
Q: Which airflow direction does this SKU use?
A: This SKU uses front-to-rear airflow. Matching spares are PWR-1511-AC-RED power supplies and FAN-7011H-F fans for forward airflow.
Q: Can the 100G and 400G ports break out to lower speeds?
A: Yes. Breakout to 50G, 25G and 10G is supported, and 40G works via QSFP+, subject to the transceiver and cable used. The switch also supports 400G ZR/ZR+ optics.
