CRS518-16XS-2XQ

As our 100 Gigabit product family grows, the time has come to introduce a serious 
enterprise-level switch. A switch that is up for the challenge when the CRS504 port 
density is just not enough. Introducing the spectacular 

CRS518-16XS-2XQ

!

With 

2x 100 Gigabit QSFP28 ports

 and 

16x 25 Gigabit SFP28 ports

, this is the perfect 

cost-effective addition to any enterprise network or data center. And with dual-redundant 
hot-swappable power supplies and fans, you won’t have to worry about unnecessary 
downtime.

Here’s a real-life setup – similar to the one we’re using in our office:
At the top, you could place two flagship CCR2216 routers to provide the main connectivity 
and routing. Then a blazing-fast 100 Gigabit connection leads to three CRS518 distribution 
level switches. This is where all the magic happens.  The CRS518 switches connect every 
access level device to the main network, deal with traffic filtering, and network policy 
enforcement. And they handle all that with grace and dignity – thanks to the fantastic 

Marvell Prestera Aldrin2 switch-chip

.  The same chip you’ve seen in our flagship 

CCR2216 that did wonders with L3 Hardware Offloading. 

In this setup, we also have a direct link aggregation connectivity between the CCR2216 
routers and the data servers. For extra efficiency and traffic distribution.
