If you need to keep legacy copper NICs in place while allowing for increased bandwidth through the 100G ports The Arista DCS-7280TR-48C6 is one we have no problem recommending to our clients.
The 7280TR-48C6 offers 48 copper (T) ports and six 100Gig ports, the perfect combination of speed and compatibility, enabling you to upgrade your network without disrupting your existing infrastructure. The 48 wire-speed 10G Base-T (100M/1G/10G) RJ45 ports, allow you to connect a wide range of devices to your network, while the 6 x 100GbE QSFP28 ports allow users take advantage of multiple possible port configurations and can be broken out into 24x 25GbE, 6x 40GbE, or 24x 10GbE.
Another significant advantage of the Arista DCS-7280TR-48C6 is its ultra-deep packet buffer which scales of up to 32GB, helping to eliminate head-of-line blocking and providing wire-speed L2 and L3 forwarding.
Virtualization and provisioning are critical components of modern data centers, and the Arista DCS-7280TR-48C6 supports VXLAN for next-generation DC, CloudVision, LANZ for microburst detection, and DANZ Advanced Mirroring & TAP. Furthermore, the switch supports VM Tracer, Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP), Advanced Event Monitoring, and Accelerated sFlow (RFC3176) for improved visibility in your network.
The Arista DCS-7280TR-48C6 is cloud networking ready with over 768K MAC addresses, 768K IPv4 and IPv6 host routes, and over 2M IPv4 routes with 7280R2K. The switch also features Arista AlgoMatchTM, which provides fast and flexible matching for reliable packet classification.
Overall, the Arista DCS-7280TR-48C6 is an excellent choice for network operators who require flexibility and performance within a copper 10Gig environment.
