Arista 10Gb SFP+ Chassis switch

[Patrick]

I saw this one on ebay today: Arista DCS-7508-BND 7500-SUP 8x DCS-7548S-LC 10G Layer 3 7500 Switch Chassis

384 ports of SFP+ for $6000 + 300 shipping is fairly decent. It has dual controller modules as well! If the QSFP+ cards were not so expensive I might have bought one.

Pretty cool stuff. Anyone know if these are custom ASIC or broadcom based?

Heh. Nice find. I have been seeking for 7010T-48 for a while, but I could only find 7048 for reasonable price.

I added a 7050 to the lab yesterday. If for $6000 I could get this with a 10Gbase-T and a 40GbE card I would have jumped on it.

Don't have enough room in the rack.

The 7500E series is based on the broadcom BCM88650.
The new 7500R series is based on the broadcom Jericho.

I think this is the first generation 7500 chassis / linecards, and I can't find any info on it.

edit: 99.9% certain it's merchant silicon too. Arista doesn't like to design their own.
edit2: found it. first-gen 7500 is based on intel/fulcrum
