ADVANCED FEATURES:

Layer 2 & Layer 3 Switching

The CCS-720XP-48TXH-2C-S delivers comprehensive Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities, supporting VLAN segmentation, private VLANs, MAC address learning, and link aggregation (LACP) to provide a flexible network topology. Inter-VLAN routing and Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) allow secure, isolated routing domains for optimised traffic separation in enterprise, campus, and multi-tenant networks. With low-latency forwarding and non-blocking architecture, the switch maintains consistent performance even under peak loads.

Virtualisation with EVPN & VXLAN

Equipped with full EVPN and VXLAN support, this model enables seamless Layer 2 extension over Layer 3 networks, streamlining deployment across large or multi-site infrastructures. EVPN enhances MAC/IP learning efficiency, improves routing convergence, and increases redundancy. This makes the switch ideal for modern virtualised environments, cloud-ready campuses, and data centre edge roles where flexible scaling is critical.

High Availability & Resilience

The CCS-720XP-48TXH-2C-S features Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG), hot-swappable dual power supplies, and redundant variable-speed fans to ensure continuous operation during maintenance or component replacement. Stateful Software Upgrades (SSU) and Stateful Fault Repair (SFR) allow software and configuration updates without service interruption, maximising uptime in mission-critical scenarios.

Advanced Quality of Service (QoS)

With eight hardware queues per port, traffic shaping, priority classification via CoS and DSCP, and granular bandwidth control, the switch delivers robust QoS performance. This ensures latency-sensitive applications like VoIP, HD video streaming, and real-time conferencing maintain priority, while still preserving fairness for general traffic.

Telemetry & Network Analytics

Built-in telemetry features such as sFlow, IPFIX, and FlowTracker provide deep visibility into network performance. Administrators can monitor traffic patterns, detect anomalies, and troubleshoot congestion proactively. Integration with Arista CloudVision adds centralised monitoring, predictive capacity management, and real-time operational insights for faster incident resolution.

Automation & Programmability

The switch supports automation through Python, Bash, Go, C++, and the EOS SDK, enabling customised scripts for provisioning, monitoring, and maintenance. CloudVision integration ensures policy-based configuration management, automated compliance enforcement, and synchronised updates across distributed infrastructure.

Security & Access Control

Security features include IEEE 802.1X authentication, MAC-based access control, DHCP snooping, IP Source Guard, and dynamic ARP inspection to block unauthorised devices. Access Control Lists (ACLs), storm control, and Control Plane Policing (CoPP) defend against traffic surges, malicious activity, and denial-of-service attempts, safeguarding overall network stability.

Energy Efficiency

Dynamic PoE allocation per port, intelligent fan speed control, and optimised front-to-rear airflow reduce energy consumption without compromising performance. This design lowers operating costs while supporting sustainable and environmentally conscious IT operations.
