Frequently Asked Questions

Question:

How many service and fabric ports does the S9720-56ED support?
Hardware Nation
12-Oct-2026

Answer:

18x800G service interfaces, or 36x100G/200G/400G service interfaces, plus 20x800G QSFP-DD fabric ports. Service and fabric interfaces have different roles and should not be added together as ordinary Ethernet access ports.

Question:

What switch chip does it use?
Hardware Nation
12-Oct-2026

Answer:

Broadcom Jericho3, BCM88860, with a 16 GB deep packet buffer and 14.4 Tbps switching capacity.

Question:

Can it run on its own or does it need a cluster?
Hardware Nation
12-Oct-2026

Answer:

It can be deployed as a standalone router or as a line-card element in a distributed disaggregated chassis. Cluster operation connects it to a compatible fabric platform such as the S9725-64E.

Question:

What does the S9725-64E add to the system?
Hardware Nation
12-Oct-2026

Answer:

It supplies the cell-based switch fabric between router elements. The S9720-56ED handles the service-facing routing role, while the S9725-64E interconnects those elements inside the cluster.

Question:

Does it have redundant power and cooling?
Hardware Nation
12-Oct-2026

Answer:

Yes. Two hot-swappable power supplies provide 1+1 redundancy, and four hot-swappable fan modules provide 3+1 redundancy. AC and DC PSU options are available.

Question:

What CPU, memory and storage does it have?
Hardware Nation
12-Oct-2026

Answer:

An eight-core Intel Ice Lake-D CPU at 2.1 GHz, 64 GB DDR4 memory with support for up to 128 GB, and two 256 GB M.2 SSDs. It also has an AST2620 BMC.

Question:

Can it connect to coherent optical links?
Hardware Nation
12-Oct-2026

Answer:

Its service interfaces support ZR and ZR+ optical configurations. The module, line rate, NOS release and optical link design must be qualified together.
