Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 7060CX2 and 7060CX?

The 7060CX2 is the second-generation successor offering higher switching capacity and improved EOS features compared to the original 7060CX. Both are 32-port 100GbE QSFP28 spine switches.

What does the -R suffix indicate?

The -R suffix indicates rear-to-front airflow — air enters from the rear and exits from the front, suitable for hot aisle containment configurations.

The Arista DCS-7060CX2-32S-R delivers 32-port 100GbE QSFP28 Layer 3 switching with rear-to-front airflow and Arista EOS — a high-performance data center spine switch for VXLAN/EVPN spine-leaf fabrics with automation and streaming telemetry.
