Arista 7060SX2-48YC6 – 48 × 25GbE SFP & 6 × 100GbE QSFP Advanced Data Centre Leaf Switch

Arista 7060SX2-48YC6 is a high-performance, 1U data centre switch that features 48 × 10/25GbE SFP28 ports and 6 × 40/100GbE QSFP28 uplinks, providing flexible connectivity for both server and spine aggregation layers. With high density, ultra-low latency, and deep packet buffering, it is optimised for demanding applications such as cloud, enterprise, and HPC environments. Powered by Arista EOS, the switch delivers advanced automation, real-time telemetry, and integrated security features. The inclusion of MACsec encryption, hot-swappable redundant power supplies, and fans ensures both reliability and secure operations. Its ability to scale seamlessly in leaf-spine architectures makes it a future-ready choice for next-generation 25/100GbE networks.

ADVANCED FEATURES:

Layer 2 & Layer 3 Switching:

Delivers high-performance bridging and routing with support for 4,000 VLANs and VRF-lite. Extensive MAC/FIB scale supports large-scale fabrics. Features such as ECMP, MLAG, LACP, and BFD enable sub-second convergence for resilient data centre operations. Full suite of routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, RIP) ensures versatility across spine, leaf, and edge deployments.

Virtualisation & Cloud Overlays:

VXLAN, NVGRE, and EVPN support enable multi-tenant and cloud-scale networks. Distributed Anycast Gateways provide seamless workload mobility for VMs and containers. Full interoperability with VMware NSX, OpenStack, and Kubernetes environments ensures readiness for hybrid and multi-cloud deployments.

Storage Networking Optimisation:

RoCEv2 optimisations with cut-through switching provide ultra-low latency for high-performance storage workloads. Priority Flow Control (PFC) and Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) ensure lossless Ethernet, supporting NVMe-oF and modern storage fabrics.

High Availability & Resilience:

Hot-swappable dual power supplies and fans provide uninterrupted operations. Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG) ensures continuous forwarding even during node or link failures. Smart System Upgrade (SSU) and In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) minimise downtime for mission-critical environments.

Comprehensive QoS & Traffic Engineering:

Eight hardware queues per port with flexible QoS policies. Supports strict priority, weighted fair queuing, and dynamic scheduling for traffic shaping. Real-time buffer allocation guarantees fairness and consistent application performance.

Telemetry & Advanced Monitoring:

Streaming telemetry via gNMI, OpenConfig, and gRPC enables real-time insights. LANZ provides sub-microsecond latency monitoring. Enhanced flow visibility with sFlow/NetFlow export and per-port/per-queue statistics for proactive troubleshooting.

Automation & Programmability:

Extensive open APIs (eAPI, REST, Python, Go) simplify integration with DevOps tools. Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) streamlines deployments at scale. Fully compatible with automation frameworks like Ansible, Puppet, and Chef, and centrally managed via Arista CloudVision.

Security Enhancements:

Advanced ACLs, 802.1X, DHCP snooping, and IP Source Guard safeguard access. Control Plane Policing (CoPP) protects the routing infrastructure. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), TACACS+, RADIUS, and secure management APIs enhance administrative security. MACsec encryption ensures secure data centre interconnects.

Energy Efficiency & Data Centre Alignment:

Built with next-gen silicon optimised for power efficiency per gigabit. Dynamic fan control with front-to-rear or rear-to-front airflow supports hot/cold aisle data centre alignment. 80 PLUS Platinum-certified power supplies reduce energy consumption.

Scalability & Future-Ready Architecture:

Supports multi-speed interfaces (10/25/40/50/100GbE) with breakout options for flexible deployments. High-density design with 48 × 25GbE and 6 × 100GbE ports ensures scalable spine-and-leaf fabrics. Forward-looking architecture ensures compatibility with future optics and technologies.

Lifecycle Management & Analytics:

Golden image protection and rollback minimise upgrade risks. CloudVision offers compliance checks, configuration drift detection, and predictive analytics. Comprehensive telemetry and audit logging simplify troubleshooting and capacity planning.
