The Edgecore AS7712-32X switch is a Top-of-Rack (TOR) or spine switch for high-performance data centres. In a compact 1RU form factor, the switch provides line-rate L2 and L3 switching across the 32x QSFP28 ports, supporting up to 32x 40/100GbE, 64x 50GbE or 128x 10/25GbE connections.
The AS7712-32X can be deployed as a TOR switch supporting 10/25/50GbE to servers with 40/50/100GbE uplinks or as a spine switch supporting 40/50/100GbE spine interconnects. This open network switch is loaded with the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE), which supports the installation of compatible Network Operating System software including the open source options Open Network Linux and SONiC, plus commercial NOS offerings.
