ADVANCED FEATURES

Layer 2 & Layer 3 Switching

The CCS‑720XP series provides full Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionality. Features include VLAN segmentation, private VLAN support, MAC address learning, and link aggregation (LACP). Inter-VLAN routing and VRF support allow secure and isolated routing domains, enabling efficient traffic management across multi-tenant and enterprise campus networks. These switches ensure low-latency packet forwarding while maintaining high reliability.

Virtualisation with EVPN & VXLAN

VXLAN and EVPN technologies allow Layer 2 networks to extend seamlessly over Layer 3 infrastructures, enabling large-scale, multi-site deployments. EVPN provides intelligent MAC/IP learning, optimised routing, and redundancy, making the switches ideal for cloud-ready and virtualised campus networks. This feature simplifies network expansion without reconfiguring the physical topology.

High Availability & Resilience

The switches support MLAG (Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation), hot-swappable power supplies, and fans to maintain continuous operation even during hardware replacement. Stateful software upgrades (SSU) and Stateful Fault Repair (SFR) enable software maintenance and configuration changes without disrupting live traffic, ensuring uninterrupted network services.

Advanced Quality of Service (QoS)

The CCS‑720XP series delivers comprehensive QoS mechanisms including eight queues per port, traffic shaping, priority marking with CoS and DSCP, and bandwidth allocation policies. These features guarantee optimal performance for latency-sensitive applications such as VoIP, video conferencing, and real-time collaboration while maintaining fairness across network traffic.

Telemetry & Network Analytics

Real-time network monitoring is enabled through sFlow, IPFIX, and FlowTracker, allowing administrators to gain deep visibility into traffic patterns, bandwidth utilization, and potential bottlenecks. Integration with Arista CloudVision provides centralised network analytics, proactive troubleshooting, and predictive capacity planning, ensuring better operational efficiency.

Automation & Programmability

The switches support a wide range of automation tools and programmable interfaces, including Python, Bash, Go, C++, and the EOS SDK. This allows seamless configuration management, automated monitoring, and deployment workflows. CloudVision integration provides policy-driven automation, compliance verification, and operational consistency across multiple sites.

Security & Access Control

Integrated security features protect the network at multiple layers. IEEE 802.1X authentication, MAC-based access control, DHCP snooping, IP source guard, and dynamic ARP inspection prevent unauthorised access and mitigate common attacks. Storm control, ACLs, and CoPP protect the control plane from traffic floods and malicious packets.

Energy Efficiency

Optimised power usage, intelligent fan control, and front-to-rear airflow ensure energy-efficient operation without compromising performance. PoE power allocation can be dynamically managed per port, reducing unnecessary energy consumption and improving overall operational sustainability.
