Description

This line card is a hot-swappable 16-port 100GbE QSFP28 interface module for the Arista 7368X4 modular data centre switch chassis. It suits leaf or spine deployments in hyper-scale cloud, machine-learning and AI clusters and big-data data centre networks, adding 100G and 200G density to the modular 7368X4 platform.

The module provides 16 QSFP28 ports, with up to 8 ports running in 200G mode on alternate ports. All 16 ports can also operate at 100GbE, 25GbE or 10GbE. Each I/O module connects directly to the switch card with no oversubscription, and the chassis offers 3.2 Tbps of system capacity per line card slot. The card draws 83 W typical and 140 W maximum, excluding optics.

It installs in the DCS-7368-CH chassis and requires EOS 4.22.0 or later, working with a DCS-7368-SUP or SUP-D supervisor and the DCS-7368X4-SC switch card. The 100G QSFP ports support optics and cables including 100GBASE-SR4, LR4, CWDM4, PSM4, AOC and CR4, and 40G QSFP+ optics and cables are also supported.

FAQs

Q: Does this line card need its own licence?
A: No separate licence is required for the line card itself. The 7368X4 chassis uses the Arista EOS Group 3 fixed-switch licence family (LIC-FIX-3), with optional licences such as LIC-FIX-3-E for Enhanced L3.

Q: Which chassis and software does it work with?
A: It installs in the DCS-7368-CH chassis, which has 8 line card slots, and requires EOS 4.22.0 or later. It works with a DCS-7368-SUP or SUP-D supervisor and the DCS-7368X4-SC switch card.

Q: What power does the line card draw?
A: It draws 83 W typical and 140 W maximum, excluding optics. The chassis supplies power through up to four hot-swappable N+N PSUs rated at 1900 W each (PWR-1900AC-F/R or PWR-1900-DC-F/R).

Q: Which optics and speeds do the QSFP28 ports support?
A: The 100G ports support 100GBASE-SR4, XSR4, SWDM4, SRBD, LR, LR4, LRL4, CWDM4, XCWDM4, FR, DR, PSM4, ERL4, AOC and CR4. 40G QSFP+ optics and cables are also supported, and the ports can run at 25G or 10G.

Q: How many 200G ports can it run?
A: Up to 8 ports can run in 200G mode, on alternate ports. All 16 ports can alternatively run at 100GbE, and 400GbE is not supported.
