Description
Description
The Arista 7280R3A is a 1RU fixed data-centre switch router built for leaf, spine, Internet peering and data centre interconnect roles. This 7280SR3AM-48YC8 model adds TunnelSec, giving line-rate MACsec, IPsec and VXLANsec encryption on every port, which suits encrypted DCI links, carrier edge VPN services and 5G or metro aggregation deployments.
It provides 48 SFP50 ports that run at 50, 25 or 10G, plus 4 x QSFP200 and 4 x QSFP100 uplink ports for up to 8 x 100G or 6 x 200G. Throughput is 3.6 Tbps (7.2 Tbps full duplex) at 1.35 Bpps, with latency from 3.8 us and a 4 GB packet buffer. This SKU is the front-to-rear airflow version with two hot-swap AC power supplies in a 1+1 arrangement and three N+1 fans. Typical power draw is 290 W, with a maximum of 391 W.
It runs Arista EOS under Feature License Group 2, with a minimum release of EOS 4.32.1. The 48 SFP ports accept SFP50, SFP28, SFP+ and SFP optics, and the uplinks accept QSFP200 and QSFP100 optics, including 40G QSFP+ and breakout use. Management is available through Arista CloudVision.
