16x10Gb SFP+, 2x100Gb QSFP28/40Gb QSFP+ L3 Leaf&Core Switch, Enterprise SONiC Ready, VXLAN, BGP-EVPN
The DARWIN-S429CZ180018M is a 16×10Gb SFP+ campus switch with 2×100Gb QSFP28/40Gb uplinks, purpose-built for campus, enterprise, and cloud service provider networks. Powered by the Marvell Aldrin 2 chipset and engineered in a compact 1RU design, it combines high performance, efficiency, and port density in one sleek package.
Running on AsterNOS, the commercial SONiC-based NOS, this Layer 3 switch unlocks a rich portfolio of features—from standard routing protocols like OSPF and BGP to advanced capabilities such as VXLAN, BGP-EVPN, MLAG, and IPv6. With optional PTP and MPLS support, it’s optimized for high-performance, low-latency, and time-sensitive workloads.
In network designs, the CX202P-16S-M-H is typically deployed at the distribution/aggregation layer, but in small to mid-sized networks, it can also double as a cost-effective core switch, offering flexibility without compromise.
