FS-N8560-64C, 64-Port Ethernet L3 Data Center Switch, 64 x 100Gb QSFP28, Support MLAG/Stacking, Broadcom Chip

The FS-N8560-64C 64-port 100GbE data center switch provides line-rate L3 switching across the 64x QSFP28 ports, and the QSFP28 ports can be configured as 40/100GbE, or as 4x 25GbE or 4x 10GbE via breakout cables. The 2U switch can be deployed as a top-of-rack (ToR) switch supporting 10/25GbE to servers with 40/100GbE, or as a spine switch supporting 40/100GbE spine interconnects.

This switch supports PFC, DCBX, ECN and RoCEv2 to deliver low-latency, zero packet loss, non-blocking lossless Ethernet, and supports features like GR, BFD mechanisms to ensure normal operation when the network bears abundant services and heavy traffic. FS-N8560-64C is a new generation high density 100GbE switch designed for cloud data center.
