Positioning

Inherited from the Arista 7060CX5 family — positioning is family-scoped in the graph

100G data-center leaf/ToR with 400G uplinks on Broadcom Tomahawk-4 (8.8 Tbps) — 56x100G QSFP access + 8x400G QSFP-DD uplink in 2RU, 825 ns latency, 57 MB buffer. Runs Arista EOS; 100G cages also run 25G, 400G uplinks break out to 200/100G; 128-way ECMP, MLAG, EVPN/VXLAN. RoCEv2, DLB, AI Analyzer. The 100/400G-mix member of the 7060X5 series (below the 400G DX5 and 800G DX5/PX5 tiers).

About this data

Where the specifications on this page come from

Where does the DCS-7060CX5-56D8 data come from?

The DCS-7060CX5-56D8 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.
