48 Ports 25G with 8×100G Uplink Ports
Built for a high-performance data center network. A new-generation high-density Ethernet switch for cloud data centers with 48×25G SFP28 slots, 8×100G QSFP28 uplinks, 6.4T switching capacity and carrier-grade reliability.
CXS6500D-56SX switch is a new generation of high-performance, high-density data center Ethernet switch designed for cloud data centers and cloud computing networks. It supports 48×25G slots and 8×100G uplink ports. Supports 1+1 hot-swappable redundant power, 4+1 hot-swappable redundant fans, and intelligent speed-adjustable fan.
Supports VxLAN to meet the requirements of data center Overlay network construction.
EVPN protocol with automatic VTEP discovery and authentication reduces VxLAN data-plane flooding and simplifies large Layer-2 network deployment.
M-LAG cross-device link aggregation virtualizes two physical devices into one at the forwarding layer, improving reliability from board-level to device-level.
End-to-end traffic visualization via RSPAN and sFlow in complex multi-path, multi-node networks.
Carrier-grade reliability with over-current, over-voltage and over-heat protection. Hot-swappable redundant power and fan modules (AC or DC).
Rich IPv4/IPv6 routing — Static, RIP, OSPF, IS-IS, BGP4, RIPng, OSPFv3, BGP4+ for flexible dual-stack networks.
Flexible air duct scheme — selectable fan modules for power-side or port-side airflow to match data center cooling design.
Hardware IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack line-speed switching with multiple tunnel technologies (manual, automatic, ISATAP).
ERPS, MRPP and BFD for fast ring protection and link detection without affecting convergence under heavy traffic.
Comprehensive ACL security — inbound/outbound, VLAN-based, port security, time ACL and flow-based bandwidth limiting.
CXS6500D-56SX is used as a ToR (Top-of-Rack) switch to provide high-density 25G/10G server access.
In a spine-leaf network architecture, the spine nodes are interconnected with leaf nodes through 100G links for a non-blocking, scalable data center fabric.
