The Ruijie S6510 Switch family redefines data-center and campus-core networks with two specialized models:
- RG–S6510-48VS8CQ (48×25 GbE + 8×100 GbE)
- RG–S6510-32CQ (32×100 GbE)
Both deliver line-rate forwarding, advanced virtualization, and carrier-grade resilience—ideal as a core Switch, aggregation Switch, or high-density 100GE Switch within any modern Ruijie network switch deployment

Core Features & Differentiators
-
Multi-Gig & 100 GbE Fabric
The RG-S6510-48VS8CQ provides 48 × 25 GbE SFP28 ports plus 8 × 100 GbE uplinks for scalable aggregation, while the RG-S6510-32CQ delivers 32 × 100 GbE ports for pure high-speed spine-leaf designs. -
Line-Rate Performance
With non-blocking switching (4.0 Tbps / 6.4 Tbps) and up to ~2,030 Mpps forwarding, these 100GE Switches eliminate bottlenecks under any traffic profile. -
Virtual Stacking Unit (VSU)
Unifies up to eight chassis into one logical switch, enabling sub-200 ms failover, centralized management, and flexible scaling. -
Carrier-Grade Resilience
Hot-swap PSUs/fans, dual-bank firmware, and hardware-level protection guard against failures, ensuring service continuity. -
Rich Layer 2/3 Services
Support for VLAN, STP/RSTP/MSTP, ERPS, OSPF v2/v3, BGP, RIP, IS-IS, VRRP, and dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 routing makes these ideal core Switch platforms. -
Advanced Fabric & Overlay
VXLAN tunneling, M-LAG, and ERPS facilitate seamless data-center overlays and campus-fabric deployments. -
Zero-Loss Transport
PFC and ECN technologies minimize congestion—crucial for storage, AI, and big-data workloads requiring lossless Ethernet.
Deployment Scenarios
-
Campus/Core Aggregation
RG-S6510-48VS8CQ aggregates multi-gig access switches, uplinking via 100 GbE to spine switches. -
Data-Center Leaf
RG-S6510-32CQ offers pure 100 GbE leaf connectivity for server racks and virtualized workloads. -
High-Performance Clusters
Non-blocking, low-latency forwarding supports HPC, AI, and analytics clusters. -
Campus Spine
VSU and 100 GbE fabrics create resilient campus backbones with single-pane management. -
Service Provider Edge
High-density ports and robust routing protocols enable edge PoP aggregation for carriers.
Deployment & Management Experience

FAQ – Expert Insights
Q1: What differentiates the 48VS8CQ from the 32CQ?
- 48VS8CQ: 48 × 25 GbE + 8 × 100 GbE for mixed-speed access/aggregation.
- 32CQ: 32 × 100 GbE for pure high-speed leaf or spine roles.
Q2: Can these run VXLAN or SDN fabrics?
Yes—VXLAN and REST API support integrates with SDN controllers for dynamic provisioning.
Q3: How does VSU improve availability?
Up to 8 chassis behave as one switch, with sub-200 ms convergence on member or link failure.
Q4: Are these suitable for AI/ML workloads?
Absolutely—lossless Ethernet, deep buffers, and line-rate forwarding meet AI/data requirements.
Q5: What routing protocols are supported?
Static, RIP, OSPF v2/v3, IS-IS, BGP, VRRP for front-running core Switch deployments.
