Arista DCS-7300-SUP-D 7300X Series Switch Supervisor Module w/ SSD

The DCS-7300-SUP-D is the 7300 Series supervisor module with a 100 GB solid-state drive already installed. It is otherwise the same as the DCS-7300-SUP, and Arista does not publish separate figures for the -D version. It fits the 7304, 7308 and 7316 chassis, and it is also listed for the 7304X3 and 7308X3.

Inside is a 2.6 GHz quad-core x86 64-bit processor with 16 GB of RAM and 4 GB of flash. The fitted SSD gives the supervisor local space for logs, packet captures, scripts and extensions without relying on USB media or external servers, which many operators prefer on a core or spine chassis.

For management there are two 100/1000 RJ-45 ports, one RS-232 console port on RJ-45 and two USB 2.0 ports. Power draw for the base supervisor is 65 W typical and 80 W maximum.

The module weighs 4.2 lb and measures 1.73 x 8.24 x 11.84 inches (W x H x D). When running two supervisors in one chassis, matching them, both with SSD, keeps storage behavior consistent after a switchover.

Supervisors are hot-swappable, and a second supervisor in the chassis provides redundancy if one fails.

For the rest of the chassis build, NetworkTigers also lists the DCS-7300X-64T-LC line card and the DCS-7300X-32Q-LC line card.

This seller refurbished DCS-7300-SUP-D is tested, working, and covered by the NetworkTigers one-year warranty.
