Selecting Your Switch

What to Consider When Buying an Arista Switch

Port Speed & Density Determine how many ports are required and the Ethernet speed needed by connected devices.
Connector Type Confirm whether your environment requires copper RJ-45, SFP-family interfaces, QSFP-family interfaces or a combination.
Airflow Direction Verify front-to-rear or rear-to-front cooling to match the rack's hot-aisle and cold-aisle design.
Power Configuration Check AC or DC requirements, power-supply count and redundancy requirements.
Optics & Cabling Match transceivers, fiber, DAC cables and link distances to the selected interfaces.
Network Role Choose a platform appropriate for access, management, leaf, spine, aggregation or routing duties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Arista Networking FAQ

What are Arista switches used for?
Arista switches are used across enterprise, data center, cloud, server, storage, leaf-spine, management and routing environments. The appropriate platform depends on the required port speeds, density and network role.
What is Arista EOS?
Arista EOS is the Linux-based network operating system used across supported Arista switching and routing platforms. It provides switching, routing, programmability, automation and network-management capabilities.
Is the Arista 7010TX a 1GbE or 25GbE switch?
The Arista 7010TX is primarily a 1GbE access and data center switch. Models such as the 7010TX-48C provide 48 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports plus four SFP28 interfaces supporting 1GbE, 10GbE or 25GbE uplink connectivity.
What is a leaf-spine network?
Leaf-spine is a data center network architecture where leaf switches connect servers and other endpoints while spine switches provide high-bandwidth connectivity between the leaf switches.
Why does airflow direction matter on an Arista switch?
Data centers typically use controlled hot-aisle and cold-aisle airflow. The switch airflow direction should match the rack design so cooling air enters and exhaust air exits in the intended direction.
What should I verify before purchasing an Arista switch?
Verify the exact model and part number, port quantity, Ethernet speeds, interface type, airflow direction, power-supply configuration, rack requirements and compatibility with the optics or DAC cables you plan to use.
