SWITCH 17050SX3-48YC8

0 server · 0 upstream interfaces

This is a planning diagram, not live switch status. External equipment and its ports must be specified separately.

SWITCH 1

Platform & software release

1RU · LIC-FIX-2
Exact platform

7050SX3-48YC8

Platform introduction: EOS 4.21.6. Confirm current maintenance-release support and the minimum release for each required function.

Physical port allocation

Choose a numbered cage, set its mode, then allocate each enabled interface.

Model specifications ↗
Allocated cages0 / 56
Enabled interfaces0 / 64
Server / upstream / peer0 / 0 / 0

Interface limits are shared across native and breakout modes. Enabling a lane consumes capacity even before a far-end connection is assigned. Port numbers below are an allocation grid, not a scaled front-panel drawing.

SFP28

QSFP100

Port 1 mode

Breakout parent-port eligibility and disabled-neighbour requirements need confirmation.

Allocate an unused port range

Only disabled or unallocated ports can be filled. Existing connections are not overwritten.

Range port mode

Power supplies & fan modules

Specify the full installed arrangement. Parts already supplied with the switch are not additional purchase quantities.

Rack airflow
Site power input
Power supply 1 PN
Power supply 2 PN
Fan module 1 PN
Fan module 2 PN

Two PSUs provide 1+1 redundancy, not twice the available redundant power. Confirm input voltage, power cords, rack feeds and cooling clearance.

Functions & software entitlements

LIC-FIX-2 options for switch 1. Choose the required functions and distinguish an existing license from a new purchase request.

LIC-FIX-2-E

Enhanced L3 - Group 2, perpetual.

LIC-FIX-2-E status

Check each routing function against the hardware and EOS release.

LIC-FIX-2-V2

EOS extensions and integration - Group 2, perpetual.

LIC-FIX-2-V2 status

V2 covers EOS extensions and integration; it is not the legacy VXLAN license.

LIC-FIX-2-Z

Monitoring and automation - Group 2, perpetual.

LIC-FIX-2-Z status

Monitoring and automation do not replace routing or CloudVision entitlements.

LIC-FIX-2-FLX-L

FLX-Lite routing and overlay - Group 2, perpetual.

LIC-FIX-2-FLX-L status

The routing entitlement ceiling does not guarantee forwarding-table capacity on this hardware.

Your network plan

Configuration review required

Confirm · Switch 1: Confirm a complete EOS release, including maintenance suffix.

Confirm · Switch 1: Confirm the current supported EOS release and feature-specific restrictions; the platform introduction version alone is not an approval.

Confirm · Switch 1: Allocate the server, upstream and peer-link ports needed for the deployment.

Confirm · Switch 1: Confirm all optics, breakout cables, far-end speeds and FEC together. Entered PNs are quotation requests, not confirmed compatibility.

Confirm · Switch 1: Confirm rack airflow direction.

Confirm · Switch 1: Confirm the site power input.

Confirm · Switch 1: Confirm all 2 installed power supplies, including items already fitted.

Confirm · Switch 1: Confirm all 2 installed fan modules, including items already fitted.

Confirm · Confirm full chassis ordering suffix, installed components, rack rails, power feeds, software entitlement and support before purchase. This is a proposed configuration, not an installation approval.

Your request is not sent automatically. Existing entitlements, final purchase quantities and compatibility are confirmed with the quotation.

PHOTOGRAPHS THAT SUPPORT YOUR RFQ

Check the ports, power and accessories.

Attach a photo brief to the request for Arista 7050SX3-48YC8. This is a checklist to agree, not a record that inspection has already been performed.

01

Front-panel identity

Request the exact model and revision label plus a straight-on port photograph. Compare the physical port groups and uplinks with the matching manufacturer drawing.

02

Rear-panel configuration

Request PSU, fan and airflow labels, AC or DC input details, rack ears and included optics or cables. Record exclusions as separate line items.

03

Evidence without a staged monitor

Product photography should show the standalone device, with no boot monitor. Request console or management records separately where appropriate, with private identifiers shared through the agreed channel.
