FAQs

Q: What network architectures is the DCS-7280R4-32PE-F suited for?
A: This switch is ideal for leaf-spine data center fabrics, AI/ML back-end networks, cloud aggregation layers, data center interconnect (DCI), IP peering, and service provider edge deployments. It supports MLAG, ECMP, and EVPN-VXLAN overlay architectures.

Q: Can the 800GbE OSFP ports be used with lower-speed optics?
A: Yes, the 32 OSFP ports support flexible breakout configurations for 400G, 200G, 100G, 50G, and 25G connectivity, allowing you to match port speeds to your infrastructure requirements and providing investment protection as you scale to higher speeds.

Q: What routing scale does the 7280R4-32PE-F support?
A: The switch features the FlexRoute engine with scalability up to 5 million IPv4/IPv6 routes, making it suitable for Internet-scale routing, large multi-tenant environments, and service provider peering applications with flexible forwarding profiles.

Q: Does this model support encryption features?
A: The standard R4 model (non-K variant) does not include TunnelSec encryption. For wire-speed AES-256-GCM encryption capabilities across all interface speeds from 25G to 800G, consider the DCS-7280R4K-32PE-F variant with enhanced encryption support.

Q: Is this switch compatible with 400G/800G DWDM optics?
A: Yes, the 7280R4-32PE-F is optimized for high-power 400G and 800G ZR/ZR+ OSFP coherent DWDM modules with reach up to 120km, making it ideal for data center interconnect and metro/edge deployments without external transponders.
