Hello everyone,
I’m looking for recommendations from the community on 48x10G RJ45/4-6
SFP28 (uplink ports) switches that people actually like working with.
Features are VPC or non-vendor specific equivalent, L2/L3 BGP/OSPFv3,
ACLs, functional CoPP and some sort of API to manage them. [the CLI
would work, my lib can handle most Networking OS CLIs anyway]
My problem point is coming from the RJ45 requirement, most vendors have
one switch that they sell that is RJ45 at 10G or at the most one in each
line (enterprise/datacenter) and they seem to be almost an afterthought.
[probably because SFP28 is better in every way if you are already using
fiber at the endpoint] sadly, we are not.
I just want to make sure I am not excluding any vendors from my research.
I appreciate any suggestions or recommendations. Can even keep it
off-list if you want.
Arista 7160-48TC6 gets pretty close to your requirements, I think. It
has 48x10GBASE-T ports + 6xQSFP28 100GBASE-R. The QSFP28 support
breakout with SR4 or PLR4 optics AFAIK , so you can use them for 25GbE
if you prefer.
You'll need the FLX-LITE license to officially get access to the layer 3
features IIRC.
