Edgecore 48x25G SFP28, 8x100G QSFP28 Cloud & Data Centers ONIE Switch, Empowered by IP Infusion OcNOS DC IPBASE or IPMPLS

Edgecore AS7326-56X (DCS203) Cloud & Data Center Switch, is a cost-effective, Top-of-Rack (TOR) open network solution for data center fabric, dedicated to modern and high-performance environments. This versatile, compact 1RU form factor switch boasts line-rate L2 and L3 switching across 48x25G SFP28 and 8x100G QSFP28 ports, designed for maximum performance and flexibility.

Each QSFP28 port can be tailored to your needs, supporting single 100G or 25G configurations, as well as 2x50G, 4x25G, 4x10G or 1x 40G options using breakout cables. The DCS203’s fully splitable design allows for up to 80 x 10G/25G ports, ensuring optimal scalability.

Empowered by IP Infusion’s Open Compute Network Operation System (OcNOS) Data Center, this switch delivers a comprehensive suite of control plane features for building both Layer-3 and Layer-2 Data Center fabrics. With a focus on robust quality and cost efficiency, OcNOS DC IPBASE provides an unparalleled best-of-breed hardware platform selection. 

Key Features and Benefits

Key Features

  • Versatile Compact Design: a 1RU form factor switch with line-rate L2 and L3 switching across 48 x SFP28 + 8 x QSFP28 ports, perfect for space-conscious, high-performance data centers.
  • Customizable Port Configurations: choose from single 100G or 40G configurations, as well as 2x50G, 4x25G, or 4x10G options using breakout cables.
  • Scalability: achieve optimal scalability with up to 80 x 10G/25G ports, thanks to the fully splitable design.
  • Empowered by IP Infusion OcNOS: Comprehensive suite of control plane features for building both Layer-3 and Layer-2 Data Center fabrics.
  • Advanced Capabilities: EVPN-VxLAN and IP over DWDM support for enhanced data center performance.
  • Energy Efficiency: designed for eco-friendly operations without compromising on performance.
  • Open Network Install Environment (ONIE): pre-loaded hardware switch for seamless integration of open-source and commercial NOS offerings.

Key Benefits

  • Cost-effective Solution: save up to 50% compared to traditional Tier-1 vendors, with no compromise on quality.
  • Flexible Deployment: ideal for ToR switch supporting 10G or 25G to servers, with 40G, 50G, or 100G uplinks, or as spine switch for 40G, 50G, or 100G ToR and spine interconnects.
  • Faster Roll-out of New Services: hardware independence enables quicker deployment and shorter time-to-market.
  • Simplified Operations: streamline your network management to reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
  • Break Vendor Lock-in: benefit from fully validated and hardened carrier-grade solutions with a broad ecosystem of technology and integration partners.
  • World-Class Support: access 24/7/365 support to ensure smooth operations and fast issue resolution.

Use Cases

OcNOS Data Center Use Cases

  • DC-CLOS (L2 and L3)
  • Multi-tenant DC (Underlay + Overlay)
  • Data Center Interconnect
  • BGP Peering Router

    Several deployment options are listed below.

Data Center Layer 2 and Layer 3

Hybrid of Layer 2 / Layer 3 can be used to limit the size of failure domain and scale up the datacenter.

Layer 3 routing can be used in Tier 1 (core) and Layer 2 in Tier 3 (access). Tier 2 can be based on either Layer 2 or Layer 3. A hybrid model has the advantage of seamless Virtual Machine mobility and requires less IP subnets for the data center.

Typical Network Topology
The major features of this solution are:
  • Leaf switches are configured with MLAG for redundancy and increased bandwidth.
  • Spine routers distribute traffic within the sites and use VRRP for redundancy.

CLOS Topology – L3 EBGP

This design is based on a full L3 BGP (eBGP) CLOS fabric to provide a resilient and horizontally scalable network design. BGP is used for its simplicity to configure and troubleshoot a large uniform topology such as CLOS, and high vendor interoperability.

Typical network topology:

  • Fully routed design from TOR. A L3 only design simplifies the network design and the network operations.
  • Redundant server connection to the TOR switch.
  • Build a large-scale data center using uniform nodes.

EVPN-VXLAN Overlay with A L3 CLOS Design

EVPN VXLAN runs on a Layer 3 routed network. Thus, when deploying EVPN VXLAN on a data center, first the core data center must be Layer 3 in design. eBGP is used in the CLOS. The main advantage of eBGP lies in its ability to scale for large scale designs, easy compatibility, and cross vendor availability.

Besides when used with EVPN, it reuses BGP with only a separate address family thus keeping the protocol complexity minimal.

  • Fully routed design from TOR – A L3 only design simplifies the network design and simplifies the operation.
  • Build a large-scale data center using uniform nodes – horizontal scaling vs scale up.
  • Enable EVPN VXLAN on all the Leaf and Spine nodes.
  • EVPN Multihoming ensures redundancy and optimal utilization.

    Following EVPN Features are supported:

    • Route-types 1 to 5.
    • VLAN-based, VLAN-bundle and VLAN-aware-bundle services.
    • Auto-RT for L2 VPN’s.
    • Standard based all-active multihoming.
    • Layer 2 ARP/ND learning enables flood control in overlay.
    • Layer 3, both interface-full (IRB) and interface-less models.
    • Symmetric and Asymmetric routing.
    • Port+VLAN based access-port mapping.
