The Edgecore AS9516-32D switch is a programmable leaf or spine switch for large scale data centers. In a 1RUform factor, the switch provides line-rate L2 switching and L3 routing, deep packet inspection, traffic load balancer etc network function vertialization, across the 32 x QSFP-DD ports, supporting up to 32 x 400 GbE connections. The AS9516-32D can be deployed as a leaf switch supporting 25/50/100 GbE to servers,routers etc with 100/400 GbEuplinks, or as a spine switch supporting 100/400 GbE leaf and spine interconnects.This open network switch isloaded with the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE), which supports the installation of compatible network operating system (NOS) soſtware, including the open source option Open Network Linux and commercial NOS offerings.
