Frequently Asked Questions
Which Arista chassis models are compatible with the DCS-7500R2-36CQ-LC line card? +
The DCS-7500R2-36CQ-LC is specifically engineered for integration into the Arista 7500R2 Series modular switches. It is designed to provide high-density 100GbE connectivity within the 7500R Series chassis, ensuring seamless compatibility with existing backplane architectures while maintaining the power and cooling requirements necessary for high-performance data center operations.
What is the primary port density and interface type for the DCS-7500R2-36CQ-LC? +
This line card features 36 ports of 100GbE, utilizing QSFP28 interfaces. These ports provide the necessary flexibility to support a wide range of optical transceivers and direct-attach copper cables, making it an ideal solution for spine-leaf network architectures that require high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnects between massive compute clusters and storage arrays.
Does the DCS-7500R2-36CQ-LC support deep buffers for high-performance traffic? +
Yes, this line card is part of the R2 series, which is specifically optimized for large-scale data center environments. It incorporates deep packet buffers to prevent packet loss during periods of network congestion or bursty traffic patterns, ensuring reliable delivery for data-intensive applications such as high-performance computing, cloud storage, and video streaming services.
How does the DCS-7500R2-36CQ-LC handle advanced routing protocols? +
The line card leverages the Arista EOS operating system to provide robust support for a comprehensive suite of advanced routing protocols, including BGP, OSPF, and ISIS. This ensures seamless integration into large-scale Layer 3 networks, allowing for sophisticated traffic engineering, policy-based routing, and high-availability designs required by enterprise-grade infrastructure deployments.
Is the DCS-7500R2-36CQ-LC suitable for internet peering or edge routing? +
Absolutely. Given its massive routing table capacity and high-density 100GbE interface count, this line card is exceptionally well-suited for internet peering points and edge routing deployments. It provides the scalability and performance needed to handle full internet routing tables while maintaining the throughput required for modern, high-bandwidth peering exchanges.
What are the power requirements for installing the DCS-7500R2-36CQ-LC? +
Because this module provides high-density 100G switching, it has significant power requirements. You must ensure that your 7500R chassis is equipped with sufficient power supply modules to accommodate the added draw. We recommend verifying the total power budget of your current system chassis configuration to ensure adequate overhead before adding this high-performance line card.
How can I monitor traffic flow using the DCS-7500R2-36CQ-LC? +
The module fully supports Arista’s advanced telemetry features, including LANZ (Local Area Network Tracer) and sFlow. These tools provide deep visibility into network congestion and traffic patterns, allowing network administrators to monitor performance in real-time and proactively address potential bottlenecks within the data center fabric, ensuring optimal throughput for mission-critical applications.
Does this line card support MACsec for data encryption? +
Yes, the DCS-7500R2-36CQ-LC is designed to support line-rate hardware-based MACsec encryption. This is essential for organizations that require secure, encrypted data transmission across their network links, providing hardware-level protection for sensitive traffic without sacrificing the high-throughput performance required in dense, high-bandwidth data center environments.
