Asterfusion CX5 series of cloud switches operate either as the spine switches or the ToR (Top of Rack) switches in the 2-tier Spine-Leaf cloud data center network architecture. In a standard 1RU space, the Asterfusion CX532P cloud switch provides 32 ports of 100G Ethernet interfaces. As a spine switch, Asterfusion CX532P can configure each of its 32 ports as a 100G downlink port connected to TOR switches such as Asterfusion CX3 switches; Asterfusion CX532P can also operate as a TOR switch, in which each of its 32 ports can be configured as either a 100G uplink port connected to a spine switch including CX532P itself or the following downlink port configurations:
