The DCS202 is a next-generation data center switch engineered for performance, reliability, and scalability. It delivers line-rate Layer 2/Layer 3 switching across 48 × 10GbE ports and 6 × 100GbE uplinks, making it well-suited as a Top-of-Rack switch or as part of a 40/100GbE spine fabric in large-scale data center networks. Its standard 19-inch rack-mountable design ensures easy deployment.
Built for mission-critical environments, the switch offers redundant, hot-swappable AC or -48VDC power supplies, 4+1 fan redundancy, and flexible airflow configurations. Hardware-based support for VXLAN and NVGRE tunneling makes it ideal for virtualized cloud infrastructures.
Shipped with the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE), the DCS202 supports a broad ecosystem of open-source and commercial NOS options, providing operators the freedom to choose the best-fit software for their network.
