| Product Overview The
Edge-Core AS6701-32X-C is a high-performance standard Data Center switch
for Top-of-Rack (TOR) or spine applications. In a compact 1RU form
factor, this switch provides line-rate L2 and L3 switching across up to
32 QSFP+ ports, supporting up to 32 x 40 GbE connections or 104 x 10 GbE
connections. The AS6701-32X-C can be deployed as a TOR switch supporting
10 GbE or 40 GbE server connections, or as a spine switch, supporting 10
GbE or 40 GbE spine interconnects. The switch provides 20 fixed QSFP+
ports and two modular slots, each capable of supporting 6 x QSFP+ ports
or a NPU module for deep packet inspection, traffic analysis or other
applications. The AS6701-32X-C comes with Cumulus Linux � The leading
network OS for Data Center switching systems.
Cumulus Linux
