The Edgecore DCS204 switch is a Top-of-Rack (ToR) or spine switch for high-performance data centers. In a compact 1RU form factor, the switch provides line-rate L2 and L3 switching across the 32 x QSFP28 ports, and each QSFP28 port can be configured as 2x50G, 4x25G, 1x40GbE or 4x10GbE by using DAC breakout cables. The DCS204 can be deployed as a ToR switch supporting 10/25/50 GbE to servers with 40/50/100 GbE uplinks, or as a spine switch supporting 40/50/100 GbE spine interconnects. This open network switch is loaded with the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE), which supports the installation of compatible Network Operating System soſtware, including the open source options, plus commercial NOS offerings.
