Advanced Hardware Features
Engineered for scalability, efficiency, and always-on reliability.
100/10G High-Speed Ports Enable Flexible Network Scaling
Boasting 32×100GbE QSFP28 and 2×10GbE SFP+ ports, the device supports interface splitting via breakout cables, which helps enhance the efficiency of network resource usage and accommodate diverse application scenarios.
The dual 1+1 hot-pluggable power supplies ensure continuous operation by allowing replacement without system shutdown. Equipped with 4+1 hot-pluggable fan modules, the system delivers reliable cooling performance to maintain stability and efficiency under demanding workloads.
Optional MPLS Module
Enhance Your Network with Advanced MPLS Capabilities
This switch model supports robust MPLS functionality, enabling efficient label-switched path management and seamless traffic forwarding across complex networks. It delivers active-active-like reliability through MPLS-based redundancy mechanisms, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity for mission-critical applications.
Power Your Network with EVPN Multihoming
Our switches deliver standards-based EVPN Multihoming, enabling all-active server redundancy without peer links. Experience enhanced reliability, optimized load balancing, and simplified management across multi-vendor environments.
Feature Set
This model supports full network virtualization features:
GRE/static GRE tunnels for point-to-point overlays, plus VXLAN with BGP-EVPN for scalable L2/L3 virtualization across distributed environments.Perfect for flexible, multi-tenant campus/enterprise networks.
The switch integrates sFlow and Telemetry for continuous, high-frequency KPI export, and uses ZTP to cut deployment time and human intervention. Its open management interface supports RESTful APIs, NetConf/YANG, and gNMI, enabling programmable remote configuration/monitoring and seamless integration with automation platforms and IaC toolchains.
