With 48 ports of 10/100/1000 and 4 integrated 1/10/25GbE SFP ports, the switch delivers non-blocking forwarding of 296 Gbps combined with feature-rich L2 and L3 switching. A natural extension to the 7050X3 Series, the 7010X are members of the Arista portfolio of data center switches.

With broad support for QoS, security, automation, and monitoring features, the 7010X provides an ideal solution to the challenges of implementing network policy consistently in 1G environments when combined with the Arista fixed configuration 7050X3 Series 10G, 25G, and 100 Gigabit switches. The 7010X delivers the flexibility to be deployed as the server edge of 1Gb Ethernet leaf and spine designs or as a high-performance out-of-band (OOB) management network switch. Arista EOS advanced automation, monitoring, and provisioning features are consistent across all Arista switches, eliminating the complexity associated with managing mixed environments with inconsistent feature sets. The 7010X Series flexible forwarding tables allow for a broad set of networking applications, including VXLAN and EVPN.

The 7010TX-48, 7010TX-48C, and 7010TX-48-DC all provide 48 10/100/1000Mb RJ45 ports and 4 SFP ports for 1G, 10G, or 25G uplink connections with a full range of optics and cables. The Arista 7010X switches offer low latency under 3 microseconds and a packet buffer of 4MB that is fully shared and allocated dynamically to ports that are congested. Consuming just 0.3 W per gigabit, the 7010X are power-efficient, with choices of AC and DC power, power redundancy, along with hot-swap fans supporting both forward and reverse airflow in a single system.

Combined with Arista EOS, the 7010X Series delivers the flexibility and features for scale-out applications in cloud, virtualized, and traditional network designs, and accommodates the myriad of different applications and east-west traffic patterns found in modern data centers.

Arista 7010TX-48, 7010TX-48C and 7010TX-48-DC:

Arista EOS

The Arista 7010X Series runs the same Arista EOS software as all Arista products, simplifying network administration. Arista EOS is a modular switch operating system with a unique state-sharing architecture that cleanly separates switch state from protocol processing and application logic. Built on top of a standard Linux kernel, all EOS processes run in their own protected memory space and exchange state through an in-memory database. This multi-process state-sharing architecture provides the foundation for in-service software updates and self-healing resiliency.

With Arista EOS, advanced monitoring and automation capabilities such as Zero Touch Provisioning, LANZ, VMTracer, and Linux-based tools can be run natively on the switch with the powerful x86 CPU subsystem.

Model Overview

The Arista 7010X series comes in two different configurations. Each delivers high performance combined with feature-rich layer 2 and layer 3 forwarding, suited for both top-of-rack leaf, campus access, or out-of-band management switches.

The 7010TX-48 and 7010TX-48C are a 1RU system with 48 10/100/1000Mb RJ45 Ethernet ports and 4 1/10/25G SFP-based ports offering wire-speed throughput of up to 296 Gbps bi-directional with integrated AC power and a hot-swap fan for reversible airflow. The 7010TX-48-DC is a DC-powered 1RU system with the same port options, integrated DC power supplies, and also offers reversible airflow, with a hot-swap reversible-direction fan module that allows both front-to-back or back-to-front by just reversing the fan module and re-inserting.

The RJ45 ports support a range of speeds, including both half-duplex 10Mb and full-duplex, together with 100Mb and 1000Mb to enable the widest range of end-system connectivity at speeds from 10Mb up to 1G.

Each of the four SFP ports supports a choice of speeds with flexible configuration between 1GbE, 10GbE, or 25GbE. All ports can operate in any supported mode without limitation, allowing easy migration from lower speeds and the flexibility for deployment over existing fiber infrastructure.

Arista 7010TX-48 and 7010TX-48C: 48 port 10/100/1000 and 4 port 10/25GbE Switch
Arista 7010TX-48-DC: 48 port 10/100/1000 and 4 port 10/25GbE

High Availability

The Arista 7010X series switches are designed for high availability from both a software and hardware perspective. Key high availability features include:

Arista 7010TX Rear View - reversible airflow, Rear-to-front AC (top) & DC (middle), 7010TX AC front-to-rear (bottom)

Scaling Data Center Performance

The Arista 7010X series delivers integrated line-rate switching at both layer 2 and layer 3, with support for VXLAN in hardware to enable dramatically faster and simpler network designs for data centers that lower network capital and operational expenses. When used in conjunction with the Arista 7050X3 series fixed and 7300X3 series modular switches for spine tiers, it allows networks to scale to 50,000 1G servers in a high-performance and low-latency two-tier network that provides predictable and consistent application performance. The flexibility of the L2 and L3 multi-path design options combined with support for open standards provides maximum cross-sectional bandwidth, eliminating Spanning Tree Protocol, increasing flexibility, scalability, and providing network-wide virtualization. Arista EOS advanced features provide control and visibility with a single point of management for workload orchestration and workflow automation.

Out of Band Networks

The 7010X provides for the consistent application of access controls, network security features, virtualization, and remote monitoring features to protect access to both dedicated management interfaces and restrict access to authorized users of out-of-band networks. Intelligent Platform Management Interfaces (IPMI) on servers provide a standard interface for complete system management, including startup, management, maintenance, and shutdown over standard Ethernet networks. Access to the IPMI ports allows for privileged access and full control of the server. The Arista 7010X with EOS provides rich features that are applied to both the management networks and the production data center networks consistently across the range of Arista 7000 Series switches and routers.

Dynamic Buffer Allocation

The Arista 7010X switches forward packets with a consistent low latency of under 3 microseconds. Upon congestion, the packets are buffered in an intelligent, fully shared packet memory that has a total size of 4MB for burst absorption. Unlike other architectures that have fixed per-port packet memory, the 7010X Series use dynamic thresholds to allocate packet memory based on traffic class, queue depth, and quality of service policy, ensuring a fair allocation to all ports of both lossy and lossless classes. Buffer utilization, occupancy, and thresholds are all visible with Arista LANZ and can be exported to monitoring tools to identify hotspots and measure latency at the device and end-to-end.

Maximum Flexibility for Scale Out Network Designs

Scale-out network designs enable solutions to start small and evolve over time. A simple two-way design can grow as far as 64-way without significant changes to the architecture. The Arista 7010X Series include enhancements for flexible scale-out designs:

Smart System Upgrade

Smart System Upgrade is a network application designed to address one of the most complicated and challenging tasks facing data center administrators: network infrastructure maintenance. Changes to the underlying network infrastructure can affect large numbers of devices and cause significant outages. SSU provides a fully customizable suite of features that tightly couple data center infrastructure to technology partners, allowing for intelligent insertion and removal, programmable updates to software releases, and open integration with application and infrastructure elements.

Virtualization

The foundation for Arista's Network Virtualization solutions is VXLAN, an open IETF specification designed to standardize an overlay encapsulation protocol. Arista solutions range from OVSDB and Openstack integration to BGP EVPN in conjunction with EOS CloudVision®, a platform for network-wide workload orchestration and workflow automation. The 7010X builds on the wire-speed gateway with EVPN/VXLAN for layer-2 and layer-3 stretch within data centers and makes integration of non-VXLAN-aware devices, including servers, firewalls, and load-balancers, seamless.

Precise Data Analysis

Arista Latency Analyzer (LANZ) is an integrated feature of EOS. LANZ provides precise real-time monitoring of micro-burst and congestion events before they impact applications, with the ability to identify the sources and capture affected traffic for analysis. Advanced analytics are provided with features like buffer monitoring with configurable thresholds, in-band path and latency monitoring, event-driven trace packets, and granular time stamping.

Enhanced Features for High Performance Networks

The Arista 7010X series delivers a suite of advanced traffic control and monitoring features to improve the agility of modern high-performance environments, with solutions for data monitoring and next-generation virtualization. Automating the data center enables customers to dynamically provision computing resources in the most efficient manner while also meeting business needs by maintaining service level agreements (SLAs). Arista EOS automates complex IT workflows and simplifies network operations while reducing or even eliminating downtime. Arista EOS rich automation capabilities not only reduce the human error element in network operations but also enable IT operators to make the network work the way they want.

CloudVision

CloudVision is a network-wide approach for workload orchestration and workflow automation as a turnkey solution for Cloud Networking. CloudVision extends the EOS publish-subscribe architectural approach across the network for state, topology, monitoring, and visibility. This enables enterprises to move to cloud-class automation without needing any significant internal development.

EOS Licensing

Arista 7010X Series with EOS and CloudVision are designed to provide flexibility both in the choice of the appropriate feature functionality and in the software consumption model. The base feature set of Arista EOS comes bundled with the Arista products and systems. A set of feature licenses are available to enable additional functionality in advanced feature sets. The traditional licensing procurement model employs a perpetual term for the right to use the feature, set at a fixed price. For Arista CloudVision, the functionality is available as a monthly subscription, for an agreed-upon term.

Routing: General Routing functionality (BGP, OSPF, Multicast, etc.) is available in the EOS Enhanced (E) license. The EOS Flex-route (FLX) Lite license expands that to include key features like BGP-EVPN for VXLAN.

Automation/Visibility: CloudVision is the most complete offering for advanced automation and visibility. Arista also offers subsets of CloudVision Lite for entry-level GUI functionality. CloudVision is offered as an on-premises appliance (virtual or physical appliance) or as a SaaS-based software application that is fully managed by Arista. The EOS V2 license includes capability to run custom extensions natively or via containers in EOS. In addition, the V2 license gives customers an option of integrating with Arista's best-of-breed ecosystem for security, analytics, visibility, and other use-cases.

Arista Optics and Cables

The Arista 7010X Series supports a wide range of 1G, 10G, and 25G pluggable optics and cables in the SFP ports.
