Guide price: Price range: £2,372.57 through £4,174.02 Ex. VAT

Product Overview

The DCS-7010TX series is a compact 1U switch family offering high-density 1 GbE access with multi-gig uplinks – tailored for server-edge access layers, out-of-band management networks, or legacy and multi-tier networks that combine 1 Gb and 10/25 Gb links. It delivers wire-speed L2/L3 forwarding, flexible uplink options, and full support under Arista EOS for enterprise-grade routing, overlay and automation.

Ideal deployment/environment: Access-layer server racks, legacy or mixed-speed networks, out-of-band management networks, and campus/LAN edge segments needing a simple, power-efficient 1 GbE switch with optional 10/25 GbE uplinks. The DCS-7010TX series also fits well in environments where integration with higher-speed spine/leaf layers under Arista EOS can simplify overall network design and management.

Key Features

  • 48 × 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports + 4 × SFP28 ports (1/10/25 GbE) for uplinks.
  • Up to 296 Gbps switching throughput and approximately 220 Mpps forwarding rate.
  • Fully shared 4 MB packet buffer and wire-speed forwarding for both layer-2 and layer-3 traffic.
  • Support for advanced features under EOS: VLANs, MLAG, LACP, VXLAN/EVPN overlays, IPv4/IPv6 routing, QoS, ACLs, MAC and route-table scalability
  • Compact 1 RU chassis with redundant or dual-power options (AC or DC depending on model), hot-swappable fans and reversible airflow (front-to-rear or rear-to-front) for rack-cooling flexibility.
  • Low power consumption (~ 0.3 W per Gbps), making it efficient for high-density deployments.
