24x 10Gb SFP+, 2x 100Gb QSFP28/40Gb QSFP+ L3 Leaf Aggregation Switch, Enterprise SONiC, MLAG VXLAN
The 24-port 10 gigabit switch, DARWIN-S425CZ260026M, comes with 24x 10Gb SFP+ access ports and 2x 100Gb/40Gb QSFP28/QSFP+ uplink ports, offering a total switching capacity of 600Gbps. This layer 3 core switch is well-suited for enterprise layer 3 distribution and aggregation networks. Additionally, it serves as a cost-effective top-of-rack switch for smaller private clouds and medium-scale deployments.
Thanks to its commercial SONiC NOS-AsterNOS, the layer 3 switch supports a variety of layer 2 and layer 3 functions, including routing protocols like OSPF and BGP, virtualization features like VXLAN and BGP-EVPN, as well as other optional capabilities such as MPLS and PTP.
This compact yet powerful switch is ideal for organizations that need enterprise-grade networking capabilities without the complexity and cost of larger switches. It perfectly bridges the gap between access layer switches and full-scale data center leaf switches, making it an excellent choice for:
- Medium-scale enterprise networks requiring robust layer 3 functionality
- Branch office deployments needing centralized connectivity
- Small to medium private cloud environments
- Network aggregation points in distributed architectures
- Cost-conscious deployments that don’t compromise on enterprise features
Overall, this switch meets the requirements of next-generation Metro and enterprise networks, making it perfect for traditional layer 3 aggregation roles or compact virtualized data center leaf switches where space and budget constraints are considerations.
