The N8560-48BC switch leverages Broadcom Trident 3-X7 silicon and supports 25GbE and 100GbE interfaces in a 1U form factor. The 100GbE interfaces can be configured as 4x 25GbE via breakout cables or run as 40GbE for flexibility. The switch provides a comprehensive set of L2/L3 features, including EVPN-VXLAN, MLAG and Stacking, ensuring low latency and high performance. With 2 Tbps of unidirectional throughput, the switch is ideal for spine-leaf deployments in small and medium data centers.
