Arista DCS-7280CR3-32P4-R Overview
DCS-7280CR3-32P4-R is a fixed-configuration
1RU Arista 7280R3 switch/router designed for high-throughput data center and service provider environments. This model provides a mixed high-speed interface profile and is built for deployments that require
rear-to-front airflow (-R).
As part of the
7280R3 platform, this system is commonly used at the fabric edge and aggregation layers where predictable forwarding performance and flexible high-speed connectivity are required.
Key Hardware Characteristics
- Form factor: 1RU fixed-configuration switch/router
- Platform: Arista 7280R3 series
- Ports: 32 x 100GbE QSFP and 4 x 400GbE OSFP
- Airflow: Rear-to-front (-R)
- Deployment roles: Leaf/spine, aggregation, fabric edge
Operational Use Cases
The DCS-7280CR3-32P4-R is typically deployed where a combination of high-speed interfaces and consistent airflow direction are required. Common use cases include leaf/spine fabrics, high-density aggregation, and environments where port speed flexibility is important for uplinks and interconnects.
Testing, Warranty, and Support
All systems are professionally tested and inspected prior to shipment. Units are packaged for secure transport and backed by warranty coverage. If you need assistance confirming airflow compatibility, power requirements, or deployment fit, our team can validate the configuration before quoting.
