Arista Networks DCS-7280PR3-24-F 32-port 400GbE OSFP network switch

2 RU 32-port 400GbE OSFP Switch

The Arista Networks DCS-7280PR3-24-F is a 2 RU switch delivering 32 ports of 400GbE OSFP connectivity. It includes a 10/100/1000 RJ-45 management port, an RS-232 console port and a USB port for out-of-band control. The unit ships with two 1500 W hot-swappable AC power supplies and four hot-swappable fans, all configured for front-to-rear airflow. Arista EOS provides the operating system.

Replaces 100GbE or mixed-speed fabrics

Networks moving from 100GbE or heterogeneous 10/40/100GbE leaf-spine tiers gain a uniform 400GbE fabric with this switch. The jump is worthwhile when traffic growth demands consistent 400GbE density across 32 ports and when operational simplicity from a single-speed layer outweighs the cost of replacing existing optics and cabling. Existing 100GbE links can remain at the edge while the core consolidates at 400GbE.

Suits hyperscale and high-performance compute

This switch suits data-centre operators building dense 400GbE leaf or spine layers for AI, HPC or cloud workloads that require front-to-rear cooling alignment with standard cold-aisle layouts. Buyers needing rear-to-front airflow, integrated rack rails or a different port count should evaluate other models. Environments without 400GbE optics or OSFP cabling infrastructure will not benefit immediately.
