The Arista 7280R3 Series of fixed systems, including the 7280R3 and the 7280R3K, are key components of the Arista 7000 Series portfolio of data center switches. The 7280R3 MACsec systems are high performance compact routing platforms with built-in wire speed MACsec encryption that is purpose built for the highest performance environments, and to meet the needs of large scale data centers. They deliver scalable L2 and L3 resources and high density with advanced features for encryption, network monitoring, precision timing and network virtualization to deliver scalable and deterministic network performance while simplifying designs and reducing Opex. The built-in MACsec capability removes the need for external encryption devices and provides security against intrusion, passive wire tapping and other playback attacks. MACsec encryption meets regulatory compliance requirements and provides data protection without loss of performance. The Arista MACsec solution utilizes proven encryption technology to protect traffic for simple, reliable and scalable data center interconnect and for securing links between tiers in leaf and spine data center designs. MACsec offers security in the data link layer and is transparent and non-disruptive to L2/L3 traffic. Flexible 100GbE QSFP and 400GbE OSFP or QSFP-DD pluggable optics ensure a broad choice of cost effective connections.
