◆“System Overview” on page 9

◆“Key Technical Specifications” on page 12

◆“Data Center Deployment” on page 13

System Overview

The AS6700-32X / AS6701-32X switch is an high-capacity top-of-rack switch. It is

designed for data centers with extended bandwidth demands that require a dense

concentration of 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40G) links within a 1U footprint. The switch

provides 20 40G QSFP+ ports and two expansion slots that enable the addition of

two six-port 40G QSFP+ expansion modules. The switch also includes dual load-

sharing power supply units that are hot-swappable.

The switch includes models that run Edge-Core’s Data Center Switch Software

(DCSS) and those that use the Open Network Installer Environment (ONIE), which

supports the installation of compatible independent network operating system

(NOS) offerings.

The DCSS switch software supports a full set of Layer 2 switching, data center

bridging, and Layer 3 routing features. The switch can be deployed as a top-of-rack

(TOR) or distributed spine switch to form a network fabric that can reduce

infrastructure expenses and power consumption in the data center. This network

fabric can be used to interconnect tens of thousands of servers delivering cloud

computing services.

The switch further offers an option of front-to-back (F2B) or back-to-front (B2F)

airflow cooling for rack deployment with either blade servers or other switches,

allowing cool aisles to be maintained without creating “hot loops.”

their installation requirements and procedures. To understand each component in

detail, refer to the relevant chapter.

Figure 1: Front Panel with QSFP+ Expansion Modules

40G QSFP+ Slots: The switch contains 20 Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable Plus

(QSFP+) transceiver slots that operate up to 40 Gbps full duplex.

Expansion Slots: The switch contains two expansion slots that support a six-port

40G QSFP+ expansion module.

System LEDs: The switch supports indicator LEDs for displaying system status.

Port LEDs: The switch supports indicator LEDs for displaying port status.

Console Port: The RJ-45 connector on the front panel labeled “Console” provides

an out-of-band serial connection to a terminal or a PC running terminal emulation

software. The port can be used for performing switch monitoring and

configuration.

Management Port: The RJ-45 connector on the front panel labeled “Mgmt”

provides an out-of-band Ethernet connection to a management PC. The port can

be used exclusively for performing switch monitoring and configuration.

USB Port: The USB connector on the front panel labeled provides an on-site file

exchange method. The port can be used for copying configuration files to and from

the switch.
