Positioning
Inherited from the Arista 7050X3 family — positioning is family-scoped in the graph
Fixed 1RU/2RU 10/25/40/50/100G data-center TOR/leaf and fixed-config spine — Broadcom Trident 3 X.7-based, sub-microsecond cut-through (800 ns), 32 MB Dynamic Buffer Allocation. Runs Arista EOS; QSFP100 cages also run 40G/4x25G/4x10G via breakout; SFP25 cages run 1/10/25G; 128-way ECMP, MLAG, EVPN/VXLAN. Built for high-density 25G/100G dual-rate leaf or collapsed spine.
Price band: Mainstream

About this data
Where the specifications on this page come from
Where does the 7050CX3-32S data come from?
The 7050CX3-32S specifications on this page are sourced from Arista's published datasheets and product documentation. SKUit extracts and normalises those values into its product catalog, the same data its BOM builder uses. This page summarises them; it is not Arista's datasheet, and the original documents are published by Arista.
Create a validated BOM with the 7050CX3-32S
SKUit turns a use case into a complete, orderable bill of materials — the right platform, optics, licences and power, reconciled against the same validated data shown on this page.
To create a bill of materials for the 7050CX3-32S, you need to log in or create an account. Log in and you will come straight back to the builder with it selected.
