What is the switching capacity and port configuration of DCS-7170-32C-F?

The DCS-7170-32C-F offers 6.4Tbps full-duplex throughput (3.2Tbps per direction) with 32x QSFP100 ports supporting 100/40GbE natively or breakout to 64x50GbE/128x10/25GbE, plus 2x front SFP+ for 1/10G management and rear 100/1000M OOB. This enables wire-speed non-blocking performance in dense spine deployments.

How does the programmable pipeline benefit deployments?

With 48 programmable stages and double pipeline capacity vs standard models, it supports complex features like stateful ACLs, VXLAN, telemetry with packet traces, and user-defined triggers. This flexibility scales for EVPN fabrics and custom monitoring without hardware limitations.

What airflow and redundancy options are available?

Front-to-rear airflow with 4x N+1 hot-swappable fans and 2x hot-swap AC PSUs (C13 cords). Configurable -F (front-rear), -R (rear-front) or # variants allow matching data center cooling while ensuring high availability.

Is it suitable for leaf-spine architectures?

Yes, flexible port breakout from 32x100GbE spine uplinks to 128x25GbE leaf downlinks supports Clos scaling. EOS provides BGP, OSPF, MLAG for seamless IP fabrics with unified management across 7170 series.

What environmental specs does it support?

Operates 0-40°C, stores -40-70°C, 5-95% humidity non-condensing, up to 10,000ft altitude. Complies with RoHS, WEEE, EMC directives for global data center deployments.

How does it integrate with Arista EOS features?

Runs single EOS image with L3+ licensing (BGP/OSPF/ISIS/PIM/NAT), advanced telemetry, fine-grained resource allocation, and modular network OS for simplified operations across leaf-to-core.

Product overview

The Arista DCS-7170-32C-F is a high-capacity 1RU programmable data center switch from the 7170 Series, featuring 32x QSFP100 ports that support flexible configurations of 32x 40/100GbE, 64x 50GbE, or 128x 10/25GbE interfaces via breakout cables. It provides 6.4Tbps full-duplex throughput (3.2Tbps per direction) and 2.4 billion packets per second forwarding rate with a 48-stage programmable pipeline and double the system pipeline capacity of standard models for advanced features like higher scalability, VXLAN routing, and telemetry. Equipped with 2x SFP+ ports for 1/10G management and out-of-band monitoring, plus a rear 100/1000M Ethernet port, it runs Arista EOS for single-image consistency across deployments. N+1 redundant hot-swappable fans and dual AC PSUs ensure high availability with front-to-rear airflow. Ideal for dense spine/leaf architectures in cloud-scale data centers, HPC clusters, and high-frequency trading environments demanding low-latency, wire-speed performance and flexible port densities.
