Arista CCS‑722XPM‑48ZY8 - 48-Port High-Performance Multi-Gigabit PoE++ Campus Switch

Arista CCS‑722XPM‑48ZY8 is a high-performance 1U Arista networking switch built for enterprise, campus, and edge deployments. It features 48 multi-gig RJ45 ports with up to 60W PoE per port, 8 × 25G uplinks, and MACsec encryption, making it an ideal PoE switch for IoT, wireless access, and security device deployments. This PoE Ethernet switch delivers wire-speed throughput, low latency, and seamless integration with Arista EOS and CloudVision for efficient network management.

Supporting advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing, VLAN segmentation, link aggregation (LACP), and VRFs, the CCS‑722XPM enables isolated routing domains. With EVPN-VXLAN for multi-site virtualisation, MLAG, redundant power supplies, and N+1 fans, it ensures high availability. Its energy-efficient design, dynamic PoE allocation, and intelligent fan control make it a reliable Ethernet switch, LAN switch, and Gigabit Ethernet solution for modern, high-performance networks.

ADVANCED FEATURES:

Layer 2 & Layer 3 Switching:

The CCS‑722XPM‑48ZY8 provides full Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities, including VLAN segmentation, private VLANs, MAC address learning, and link aggregation (LACP). Inter-VLAN routing and Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) allow multiple isolated routing domains, enabling secure and optimised traffic separation across enterprise, campus, and multi-tenant networks. Its non-blocking architecture ensures consistent low-latency forwarding even under peak traffic loads.

Virtualisation with EVPN & VXLAN:

Supports full EVPN and VXLAN, enabling seamless Layer 2 extension over Layer 3 networks. This improves MAC/IP learning efficiency, reduces routing convergence times, and provides redundancy for highly available campus or branch deployments. Ideal for virtualised environments, multi-site campuses, and cloud-ready networks.

High Availability & Resilience:

Equipped with Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG), hot-swappable redundant power supplies, and N+1 variable-speed fans to maintain continuous operation during component replacements. Stateful Software Upgrade (SSU) and Stateful Fault Repair (SFR) enable software and configuration updates without network downtime, ensuring mission-critical services remain online.

Advanced Quality of Service (QoS):

Provides eight hardware queues per port, with traffic shaping, rate limiting, and prioritisation based on CoS or DSCP. This ensures latency-sensitive applications such as VoIP, video conferencing, and HD streaming get priority while maintaining fairness for general traffic.

Telemetry & Network Analytics:

Integrated telemetry features, including sFlow, IPFIX, and FlowTracker, allow real-time monitoring of network flows and device inventory. Administrators can detect congestion, monitor performance, and troubleshoot proactively. Integration with Arista CloudVision offers centralised analytics, predictive capacity planning, and operational insights for faster decision-making.

Automation & Programmability:

Supports automation via Python, Bash, Go, C++, and the EOS SDK. Enables custom scripts for provisioning, monitoring, and maintenance, as well as policy-based configuration management and automated compliance across distributed networks.

Security & Access Control:

Includes 802.1X authentication, MAC-based access control, DHCP snooping, IP Source Guard, dynamic ARP inspection, ACLs, storm control, and Control Plane Policing (CoPP). These features safeguard against unauthorised devices, malicious traffic, and DoS attacks while maintaining network stability.

Energy Efficiency:

Dynamic per-port PoE allocation, intelligent fan speed control, and optimised front-to-rear airflow minimise energy consumption without sacrificing performance, supporting sustainable IT operations.
