About this item
The Edgecore DCS500(AS7816-64X) is a Top-of-Rack (TOR) or spine bar e -metal/ appliance for highperformance data centers. The appliance provides line-rate L2 and L3 switching across the 64 x QSFP28 ports,
each supporting 1 x 100 GbE or 1x 40 GbE, or via breakout cables 4 x 25 GbE or 4 x 10 GbE to a maximum of 128
logical ports. The DCS500 can be deployed as a TOR deviec supporting 10/25 GbE to servers with 40/100 GbE
uplinks, or as a spine device supporting 40/100 GbE spine interconnects. This appliance/open network switch is
