The CX204P-16Y-M-E is a 16-port 25Gb SFP28 layer 3 aggregation switch, engineered to meet the growing demands for higher bandwidth at the aggregation layers. Powered by the Marvell Prestera Aldrin 2 chip, it provides significant uplink capacity with 4x100Gb QSFP28 ports, making it an ideal choice for enterprise distribution, high-density server connectivity requiring 25GbE, and flexible data center aggregation points.
This switch comes preloaded with AsterNOS, Asterfusion’s enterprise-grade SONiC Network Operating System. Leveraging the power of open networking, AsterNOS provides comprehensive Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 routing capabilities, including advanced protocols like BGP, OSPFv2/v3, and VRF for efficient traffic segmentation and management. Crucially, it fully supports VXLAN and EVPN (Type 2/3/5), enabling seamless integration into virtualized and multi-tenant environments and simplifying the expansion of your network fabric.
Designed for reliability, the CX204P-16Y-M-E incorporates key high-availability features such as MLAG (Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation) and BFD (Bi-Directional Forwarding Detection), ensuring continuous network uptime and rapid failover. Security is paramount, with robust built-in features including 802.1x authentication, Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI), IP Source Guard (IPSG), and Control Plane Policing (CoPP) to protect your infrastructure. Simplified deployment and management are achieved through Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) and industry-standard CLI, while support for PTP IEEE 1588v2 ensures precise time synchronization for critical applications.
