48x10G and 4x40G port configuration

The Arista 7050SX-64 is a rackmount Layer 3 switch from the 7050X series. It provides 48 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 4 ports of 40 Gigabit Ethernet in a compact form factor. The switch delivers wire-speed Layer 2 and Layer 3 features with low latency for data centre environments.

Suits leaf-spine data centre fabrics

This switch fits networks that need dense 10G and 40G connectivity for east-west traffic patterns in cloud, high-performance compute or big data deployments. It supports redundant power supplies for high-availability designs. Buyers who need Power over Ethernet on RJ-45 ports should look elsewhere as this model has no PoE capability.

52 total expansion slots

The unit offers 52 expansion slots across its 10G and 40G interfaces, allowing flexible port population for scaling leaf and spine topologies. This slot count determines the maximum port density achievable in a single rack unit.

Questions about this item

What SFP+ transceivers do I need for the 48 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports?

The 48 ports accept 10GBase-X SFP+ modules; choose single-mode or multi-mode optics that match your fibre plant and distance requirements.

Can I mix the four 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ uplinks with the 10 Gigabit ports in the same VLANs?

Yes, the Layer 3 switch treats all 52 expansion slots as managed interfaces, so 40G and 10G ports can share VLANs, routing instances and ACLs.

How do I verify the switch is forwarding at wire speed after installation?

Check the port counters for zero discards and errors, confirm the forwarding table shows learned MACs on active ports, and run a bidirectional traffic test that saturates 10G or 40G links without loss.
