1 Gb EthernetThe 1U Nokia 7215 IXS‑A1 is a compact top‑of‑rack management switch designed to aggregate server, storage, and fabric‑device management interfaces with 48× 1G RJ45 ports and 4× 10G SFP+ uplinks for streamlined connectivity. It delivers wire‑speed Layer 2/3 forwarding up to 176 Gb/s, making it ideal for out‑of‑band management networks supporting large leaf-spine fabrics. Built‑in diagnostics, LED‑based status indicators, and versatile mounting options make it a dependable platform for resilient management‑plane connectivity. For more information, see the 7215 IXS‑A1 datasheet.
25 Gb EthernetThe 1U Nokia 7220 IXR‑D2L is a high‑density leaf‑tier data center switch featuring 48× SFP28, 8× QSFP28, and 2× SFP+ ports, delivering flexible combinations of 100/40/25/10/1 GbE connectivity and breakout options. With 2.0 Tb/s full‑duplex switching capacity and support for jumbo frames and large L2/L3 tables, it is well suited for performance‑intensive leaf deployments and mixed‑speed aggregation layers. Its granular port‑level telemetry and LED diagnostics simplify operations in large‑scale environments. For more information, see the 7220 IXR‑D2L datasheet.
100 G EthernetThe 1U Nokia 7220 IXR‑D3L provides higher‑capacity 100 GbE leaf/spine connectivity with 32× QSFP28 and 2× SFP+ ports, supporting extensive breakout flexibility for high‑density fabrics. It delivers 3.2 Tb/s full‑duplex performance, enabling consistent throughput for AI clusters, cloud fabrics, and horizontally scaled architectures. Detailed port‑level LED indicators, including lane‑level status in breakout mode provide enhanced visibility for troubleshooting and monitoring large deployments. For more information, see the 7220 IXR‑D3L datasheet.
The following table summarizes all the Nokia Ethernet Switches that are supported by Lenovo EveryScale.
