ADVANCED FEATURES

Layer 2 & Layer 3 Switching:

The CCS-720XP-24ZY4 provides full Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities. It supports VLAN segmentation, private VLANs, MAC address learning, and link aggregation (LACP) for flexible network design. Inter-VLAN routing and VRF instances allow secure, isolated routing domains, optimising traffic segmentation in enterprise and multi-tenant environments. The switch delivers low-latency packet forwarding and high reliability, ensuring stable performance even under heavy load.

Virtualisation with EVPN & VXLAN:

With VXLAN and EVPN support, the CCS-720XP-24ZY4 enables seamless Layer 2 extension over Layer 3 infrastructures, simplifying large-scale and multi-site deployments. EVPN enhances MAC/IP learning, optimises routing paths, and improves redundancy. This makes the switch well-suited for modern cloud-ready, virtualised campus, and data centre edge networks, reducing the need for extensive reconfiguration during expansion.

High Availability & Resilience:

The switch supports MLAG (Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation), hot-swappable power supplies, and fans to maintain uptime during hardware servicing. Stateful Software Upgrades (SSU) and Stateful Fault Repair (SFR) enable configuration changes and software updates without service disruption, ensuring continuous network availability for mission-critical environments.

Advanced Quality of Service (QoS):

The CCS-720XP-24ZY4 includes advanced QoS with eight queues per port, traffic shaping, priority marking using CoS and DSCP, and granular bandwidth allocation. This ensures high-priority handling of latency-sensitive applications such as VoIP, HD video conferencing, and real-time collaboration, while maintaining fairness across all connected devices.

Telemetry & Network Analytics:

Integrated sFlow, IPFIX, and FlowTracker provide real-time network visibility, enabling administrators to analyse traffic trends, detect congestion points, and identify performance issues. When paired with Arista CloudVision, the switch offers centralised monitoring, predictive capacity planning, and faster troubleshooting to maintain optimal operational efficiency.

Automation & Programmability

The CCS-720XP-24ZY4 supports programmable automation through Python, Bash, Go, C++, and the EOS SDK. This allows for streamlined provisioning, monitoring, and maintenance tasks. CloudVision integration ensures policy-driven automation, compliance enforcement, and consistent configuration management across distributed deployments.

Security & Access Control:

Robust security measures are built-in, including IEEE 802.1X authentication, MAC-based access control, DHCP snooping, IP source guard, and dynamic ARP inspection to prevent unauthorised access. ACLs, storm control, and Control Plane Policing (CoPP) safeguard the switch from traffic floods and malicious activities, ensuring stable and secure network operation.

Energy Efficiency:

The switch features intelligent power management with dynamic PoE allocation per port, optimised fan control, and front-to-rear airflow for better cooling. These features minimise energy consumption without impacting performance, contributing to lower operational costs and sustainable IT practices.
