ZXR10 5960-32DL
ZXR10 5960-32DL is a carrier-grade 1U TOR switch equipped with 24×10GE SFP+ ports + 2×40GE QSFP+ uplink ports, featuring front-to-back airflow, redundant power and fan modules, low latency, and rich data center features. It is widely deployed in the following scenarios:

1. Data Center TOR (Top of Rack) Access

This is its primary application. It connects 10GE servers within the rack via 10GE downlink ports, and uses 40GE ports for uplink to leaf/spine aggregation switches. It supports TRILL, VSC2.0, MC-LAG, DCB/PFC, EVPN/VXLAN, satisfying requirements for server virtualization, live VM migration, lossless RDMA storage networking, and large-scale Layer 2 cloud fabric. It builds non-blocking low-latency networks for cloud computing, virtual host clusters and distributed storage systems.

2. Access & Aggregation for Carrier Enterprise MAN

It serves as 10GE access or small aggregation node for metropolitan area networks and carrier enterprise private lines. It converges 10GE enterprise access traffic, delivers L2/L3 forwarding, QinQ, Ethernet ring protection (ZESR), BFD and VRRP, and forwards aggregated traffic to core routers. It fits high-bandwidth enterprise, campus, industrial park and government private network access with carrier reliability.

3. High-performance Computing & Storage Cluster Networking

With DCB suite including PFC, ETS and QCN, it enables lossless Ethernet for high-performance computing, AI preliminary computing clusters and centralized storage networks, guaranteeing zero packet loss and stable low latency for storage and computing services.

4. SDN Cloud Network Edge Node

Native support for SDN and EVPN/VXLAN makes it an ideal edge leaf node for software-defined cloud data centers. It can be managed by SDN controllers to implement automated service provisioning, multi-tenant isolation and flexible network orchestration for multi-cloud and IDC hosting services.

5. Small/Medium IDC Hosting & Internet Service Access

For medium and small IDC rooms, it works as rack access switch for hosting servers, providing high-density 10GE access and 40GE uplink, supporting fine-grained QoS, traffic policing, port mirroring and security isolation to meet the needs of ISP hosting, game server and video service clusters.
