Nokia 7220 IXR-D series

Interconnect Routers for SR Linux

Release 22

As part of the Nokia Data Center Fabric solution, the Nokia 7220 IXR-D
series platforms are designed for the leaf and spine layers of data center
fabrics, delivering high-scale interconnectivity for webscale, service provider,
enterprise data center and cloud environments.

Overview The 7220 IXR-D series is available in five variants.

The Nokia Data Center platforms include the 7250

IXR-6/IXR-10, the Nokia 7220 IXR-H series and the
7220 IXR-D series of interconnect routers—all of
which implement the Nokia Service Router Linux 7220 IXR-D1 48T 4SFP+
(SR Linux) network operating system (NOS). This
data sheet discusses the 7220 IXR-D series, which
consists of the 7220 IXR-D1, the 7220 IXR-D2,
the 7220 IXR-D2L, the 7220 IXR-D3 and the
7220 IXR-D3L. 7220 IXR-D2 48SFP28 8QSFP28
High-bandwidth servers are driving the need for
higher port speeds and density in data center
architectures. Similarly, the need for more power-
efficient and state-of-the-art hardware designs is
driving the modernization of network aggregation
and interconnect within data centers. 7220 IXR-D2L 48SFP28 8QSFP28
The 7220 IXR-D series routers are high-performance,
fixed-configuration routers designed for data center
leaf-spine deployments. They offer 100GE, 50GE,
40GE, 25GE, 10GE and 1GE interfaces for intra-fabric
and server connectivity. 7220 IXR-D3 32QSFP28 2SFP+
The 7220 IXR-D series delivers a robust and
comprehensive set of capabilities, including IP
routing, Ethernet VPN (EVPN), Layer 2 Ethernet,
QoS, router security, warm reboot resiliency, model-
driven management, and scalable telemetry.
