7850 VSG/VSA

Overview

The Nokia 7850 Virtual Switch Gateway (7850 VSG) is the main hardware component of the data center solution. The 7850 VSG is a top-of-rack switch that provides connectivity to servers which store virtual machines (VMs). It is based on the SROS platform and includes standard Ethernet and L3 routing functionality.

The 7850 Virtual Switch Aggregator (7850 VSA) is a variant of the 7850 VSG. The 7850 VSA functions as an IP router as an end-of-rack switch. It includes the SROS feature set, like the 7850 VSG. It can be deployed with the standalone VSC in a two-part router setup.
