Description

The Arista 7020R4 is a high-density data centre switch router delivering 48x 25GbE SFP+ ports and 8x 100GbE QSFP ports in a compact chassis, purpose-built for spine, aggregation, and high-performance routing deployments. Powered by Arista's EOS operating system, the 7020R4 delivers wire-rate Layer 3 forwarding, deep buffer architecture, and advanced routing capabilities suited to hyperscale, enterprise data centres, and cloud interconnect environments. The front-to-rear airflow configuration supports hot-aisle/cold-aisle deployments, and dual AC power supplies deliver the redundancy required for mission-critical infrastructure.

The 7020R4 integrates seamlessly within Arista's proven 7000 Series portfolio, supporting full BGP, OSPF, ISIS, MPLS, and multicast routing alongside rich telemetry via Arista LANZ and CloudVision. VXLAN, BFD, and ECMP are supported for modern overlay and underlay network designs. Dual redundant power supplies with front-to-rear airflow make this an ideal fit for structured data centre builds.

FAQs

Q: What is the Arista DCS-7020R4-48Y-8QC-F used for?
A: The DCS-7020R4-48Y-8QC-F is a data centre switch router designed for spine and aggregation layer deployments. Its 48x 25GbE and 8x 100GbE port configuration makes it well suited to high-density server connectivity and high-speed uplink aggregation in enterprise and cloud data centres.

Q: What does the '-F' suffix mean in the SKU?
A: The '-F' suffix denotes front-to-rear airflow, meaning air enters from the port side and exits from the power supply side. This is the standard orientation for hot-aisle/cold-aisle data centre rack configurations.

Q: Does the 7020R4 support Layer 3 routing protocols?
A: Yes. The Arista 7020R4 running EOS supports a full suite of Layer 3 protocols including BGP, OSPF, ISIS, MPLS, VXLAN, ECMP, and multicast, making it suitable as a fully capable switch router rather than a pure Layer 2 switch.

Q: Is the 7020R4 compatible with Arista CloudVision?
A: Yes. The 7020R4 runs Arista EOS and integrates natively with Arista CloudVision for centralised network management, telemetry, provisioning, and change control across your data centre fabric.

Q: Can I purchase the Arista DCS-7020R4-48Y-8QC-F in Australia?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware specialist that can supply Arista data centre switching equipment including the DCS-7020R4-48Y-8QC-F. Contact our team for pricing, availability, and support options.

Q: What redundancy features does the 7020R4 include?
A: The DCS-7020R4-48Y-8QC-F includes dual redundant AC power supplies to ensure continuous operation in the event of a single PSU failure, a critical requirement for always-on data centre environments.
