Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of the Arista DCS-7500E-12CQ-LC line card? +
The DCS-7500E-12CQ-LC is a high-density line card designed for the Arista 7500E Series modular switches. It provides 12 ports of 100GbE QSFP+ connectivity, specifically engineered to increase overall system bandwidth and port density for demanding data center spine-leaf architectures that require high-throughput switching capacity.
Which Arista switch chassis series is the DCS-7500E-12CQ-LC compatible with? +
This line card is designed exclusively for the Arista 7500E Series modular chassis. It integrates seamlessly into these platforms to expand physical port counts, allowing network architects to scale their switching fabric by populating the available line card slots with high-speed 100G interfaces.
What type of optics and cabling can I use with the 100G ports on this line card? +
The 12 QSFP+ ports on this module support a versatile range of 100G optics and direct attach copper (DAC) cables. This flexibility allows for optimized physical layer configurations, whether you are connecting to short-reach intra-rack cabling or longer-distance fiber links within the data center environment.
Does the DCS-7500E-12CQ-LC support specific Arista EOS features? +
Yes, this line card fully supports the comprehensive feature set offered by Arista EOS. It enables advanced capabilities such as deep buffers, wire-speed L2/L3 switching, and sophisticated traffic management features like Virtual Output Queuing (VOQ), which help minimize congestion in large-scale, non-blocking fabric designs.
How does the DCS-7500E-12CQ-LC improve network performance in a spine-leaf architecture? +
By offering 12 ports of 100GbE, this module significantly boosts the available uplink capacity for leaf switches or provides high-speed inter-switch links for the spine. Its high-performance design ensures low latency and high throughput, which is essential for minimizing packet drops in traffic-intensive environments.
Is the DCS-7500E-12CQ-LC hot-swappable during system operation? +
The module is designed for hot-swappable insertion and removal within the supported 7500E chassis. This allows for modular upgrades or field replacements without requiring a total power-down of the switch, ensuring that maintenance or capacity expansion can be performed with minimal impact on overall network availability.
What are the power requirements for installing this line card into a 7500E chassis? +
Power consumption depends on the total system load and the number of active optics installed. It is important to ensure your 7500E chassis is equipped with sufficient power supply modules to accommodate the additional power draw of the 12CQ-LC card. Consult the chassis power budget documentation to verify headroom before deployment.
How should I monitor the health and performance of the DCS-7500E-12CQ-LC? +
You can monitor the module using standard Arista EOS CLI commands, which provide real-time diagnostics on port status, optical transceiver health, and traffic statistics. Additionally, integration with Arista CloudVision or standard SNMP-based management tools provides granular visibility into the line card's operational metrics and environmental performance.
