Description

The Arista 7020R4 is a high-density 25GbE/100GbE switch router designed for spine, aggregation, and data centre interconnect deployments demanding wire-rate performance with enhanced encryption. Featuring 48x 25GbE SFP+ downlinks and 8x 100GbE QSFP uplinks, this fixed-form-factor platform delivers massive bandwidth headroom for modern cloud and enterprise data centre fabrics. Enhanced encryption support makes it well-suited for secure multi-tenant and government environments, while rear-to-front airflow accommodates hot-aisle/cold-aisle data centre containment architectures. Dual AC power supplies provide the redundancy required for mission-critical infrastructure.

Running Arista EOS, the 7020R4 supports advanced L2/L3 routing, BGP, EVPN/VXLAN, and rich telemetry via Arista CloudVision for centralised network visibility and automation. The -R suffix denotes rear-to-front airflow, aligning with standard data centre cable management practices. Get it now at iptrading.com.au — authentic hardware, reliable service.

FAQs

Q: What is the difference between the DCS-7020R4M-48Y-8QC-R and a standard Arista 7020R4 variant?
A: The -R suffix denotes rear-to-front airflow (port-side exhaust), which suits standard hot-aisle/cold-aisle data centre rack deployments. The 'M' in the SKU indicates the enhanced (MACsec) encryption capability, making it suitable for secure or compliance-sensitive environments.

Q: What routing and switching protocols does the Arista 7020R4 support?
A: Running Arista EOS, the 7020R4 supports a comprehensive suite including BGP, OSPF, ISIS, EVPN, VXLAN, PIM multicast, ECMP, and advanced QoS — making it suitable as a spine or aggregation node in modern leaf-spine data centre fabrics.

Q: Is MACsec / enhanced encryption supported on this switch?
A: Yes. The DCS-7020R4M variant includes enhanced hardware-based encryption (MACsec support), enabling secure Layer 2 encryption across inter-switch and inter-data-centre links without impacting line-rate forwarding performance.

Q: Can the Arista 7020R4 be managed with Arista CloudVision?
A: Yes. The 7020R4 runs Arista EOS and integrates natively with Arista CloudVision for centralised provisioning, streaming telemetry, change management, and network-wide visibility — suitable for large-scale data centre automation.

Q: Can I purchase the Arista DCS-7020R4M-48Y-8QC-R in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller supplying Arista networking equipment. Contact us directly for pricing, availability, and lead times on this and other Arista data centre switching platforms.

Q: What power supply configuration does this switch use?
A: The DCS-7020R4M-48Y-8QC-R ships with two AC power supplies in a redundant (1+1) configuration, ensuring continuous operation in the event of a single PSU failure — a requirement for mission-critical data centre deployments.
