The Asteraix CX306P-48Y-M-H is a compact 1U aggregation/core switch with 48×25G SFP28 and 6×100G QSFP28 uplinks. Built on the Marvell Prestera Falcon ASIC and delivered with an enterprise SONiC-based OS (AsterNOS), it combines wire‑rate L2/L3 switching with modern overlays such as VXLAN EVPN for scalable segmentation across campus and data-center fabrics.
For timing‑sensitive deployments—including 5G O‑RAN fronthaul/midhaul—the platform exposes hardware time interfaces (1PPS, ToD, 10 MHz) and supports IEEE 1588v2 and SyncE. Optional GNSS input and two on‑box DPU slots enable routing, VPN, firewall/IDS, and observability workloads to run alongside switching, turning the CX306P-48Y-M-H into a converged networking platform for edge and core designs.

CX306P-48Y-M-H 25G/100G Switch Connectivity
Connects 25GbE access and aggregation layers with 100GbE uplinks, enabling high-density, low-latency, and scalable spine-leaf or border leaf architectures.
Application Scenarios of Marvell OCTEON DPUs
In addition to the standard switching functions, the CX306P-48Y-M-H incorporates two extra Marvell OCTEON CN96/CN103 DPUs, thereby making the device the most multifaceted and versatile. It is therefore pertinent to explore the potential applications of these two DPUs .The following section outlines a number of typical scenarios in which the CX306P two DPUs are particularly effective, and which can be utilised not only individually but also in combination.
