Engineering Context
The 7060CX-32S brought 32-port 100GbE switching to a single rack unit and became a standard building block for 100G spine and high-performance leaf layers. Its flexible port speeds (100G/40G/4x25G/4x10G/2x50G) allow one platform to serve mixed-generation fabrics — 25GbE server access via breakout, 40GbE interop with older leaves and full 100GbE spine links — all at wire speed with a 16 MB dynamically shared buffer. Arista EOS provides the platform's automation, telemetry and Linux-based tooling.
Use Cases
100GbE spine / aggregation layers in leaf-spine fabrics
25GbE server access via 4x25GbE breakout (up to 128 logical ports)
Storage, HPC and AI/ML cluster interconnect at 40/50/100GbE
Cost-effective 100G capacity expansion for existing 7060X estates
What This Is NOT
NOT a 400GbE switch. Maximum per-port speed is 100GbE (QSFP28).
NOT a QSFP-DD or OSFP platform. Ports are QSFP100/QSFP28 cages; QSFP-DD and OSFP modules do not fit.
NOT the DCS-7060CX2-32S or DCS-7260CX-64. Those are different platforms in the family with different silicon or density.
NOT an InfiniBand switch. Ethernet only.
NOT a current-generation Arista product. The model is past end of sale; verify EOS software support status before deployment.
NOT supplied with transceivers, cables, rail kits or other accessories unless explicitly stated.
NOT sold with any EOS software license or support entitlement. Software and support arrangements are between the buyer and Arista.
Compatibility & Hard Constraints
Optics/cabling: QSFP28 100GbE transceivers, DAC and AOC; QSFP+ 40GbE; 4x25GbE / 4x10GbE / 2x50GbE breakout cables; SFP+ 10GbE in the 2 SFP+ ports.
Typical peer platforms: 25/100GbE server NICs via breakout or direct 100G; 10/40/100GbE leaf and spine switches.
Airflow: the -F / -R airflow variant must match your hot-aisle/cold-aisle design — confirm the variant on the unit label before ordering.
Software: EOS image access requires an Arista account/entitlement; verify supported EOS train for this platform.
Pre-deployment verification: confirm airflow direction, PSU type, breakout licensing/port profiles and EOS image availability against the unit label and Arista documentation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. What is the Arista DCS-7060CX-32S?
The DCS-7060CX-32S is a 1U Arista 7060X-series data-center Ethernet switch with 32x QSFP100 (QSFP28) 100GbE ports plus 2x SFP+ 10GbE ports, 6.4 Tbps of switching capacity, cut-through latency as low as approximately 450 ns and a 16 MB dynamically shared packet buffer, running Arista EOS.
Q. What speeds do the QSFP100 ports of the DCS-7060CX-32S support?
Per the Arista 7060X datasheet, each QSFP100 port supports a choice of speeds: 100GbE, 40GbE, 4x25GbE, 4x10GbE or 2x50GbE, using the corresponding QSFP transceivers, DACs or breakout cables.
Q. Is the DCS-7060CX-32S a QSFP-DD or OSFP switch?
No. The 32 high-speed ports are QSFP100 (QSFP28) cages. QSFP-DD, OSFP and other form factors are physically different and not supported.
Q. Can the DCS-7060CX-32S run 400GbE?
No. Maximum per-port speed is 100GbE. 400GbE requires a later-generation platform.
Q. Which Arista EOS versions support the DCS-7060CX-32S?
The 7060CX-32S is past its end-of-sale date at Arista. Current EOS-train support status and the final supported release should be verified against Arista's end-of-sale and end-of-support notices before deployment. EOS software access requires an arrangement with Arista - no software entitlement is included with this hardware.
Q. What condition is the DCS-7060CX-32S supplied in by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS?
Refurbished. Each unit is tested, inspected and professionally packed, shipping from EU stock with global B2B delivery. Airflow variant (-F front-to-rear or -R rear-to-front) and PSU configuration are per unit label - confirm before order.
