Arista CCS-720DP Series – 24/48-Port 1G SFP+ PoE++ Layer 3 Switches with 4 x 10G SFP+ Uplinks, Cognitive Campus Series

Arista CCS-720DP Series (including models 720DP-24ZS and 720DP-48ZS) is engineered to deliver high-performance, scalable, and secure Layer 3 switching for modern enterprise networks and data centre edge environments. Built on Arista’s industry-leading Extensible Operating System (EOS), these switches combine advanced routing capabilities, automation, and network-wide visibility to support today’s demanding workloads and dynamic infrastructure needs.

The 720DP-24ZS model provides 24 SFP/SFP+ ports with 4 x 10G uplinks, ideal for mid-sized deployments needing compact, high-throughput switching. The 720DP-48ZS expands this capacity to 48 SFP/SFP+ ports, catering to larger aggregation or access layer setups. Both models are designed for wire-speed performance with support for VXLAN and EVPN overlays, enabling seamless integration into scalable spine-leaf architectures. With features such as MACsec encryption, real-time telemetry (LANZ, sFlow, eAPI), redundant hot-swappable power and fans, and MLAG for high availability, the CCS-720DP Series offers a reliable, future-ready solution for enterprise, cloud edge, and hybrid environments where performance, security, and manageability are critical.

ADVANCED FEATURES

LAYER 3 ENTERPRISE ROUTING AND SERVICES

The Arista CCS-720DP Series supports advanced Layer 3 routing capabilities, including OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, and VRRP, enabling dynamic and scalable network topologies. Policy-based routing, unicast/multicast routing, and access control integration ensure the switches handle complex enterprise or data centre requirements with ease.

HIGH AVAILABILITY AND NETWORK RESILIENCE

Designed for mission-critical environments, these switches offer hot-swappable dual redundant power supplies and fans, hitless software upgrades, and MLAG (Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation). Advanced protocols such as 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree and 802.3ad LACP enable fast recovery and minimise downtime in redundant deployments.

PROGRAMMABILITY AND AUTOMATION WITH EOS

Built on Arista’s award-winning Extensible Operating System (EOS), the CCS-720DP switches support real-time scripting, API integration, event handling, and software-defined automation using CLI, JSON-RPC, and Python. This allows seamless orchestration within DevOps and NetOps environments.

ENHANCED TELEMETRY AND VISIBILITY

Advanced telemetry tools like LANZ (Latency Analyser), sFlow, and eAPI provide deep visibility into traffic flows and network health. With real-time analytics and congestion monitoring, administrators can proactively optimise performance and troubleshoot issues.

ADVANCED SECURITY AND CONTROL

Support for 802.1X, dynamic ACLs, RADIUS/TACACS+, and role-based access control ensures enterprise-grade security. MACsec encryption and control plane protection features add additional layers of defence against internal and external threats.

SCALABLE FABRIC INTEGRATION

Ideal for leaf-spine architectures, the CCS-720DP series supports VXLAN for Layer 2/3 overlays and EVPN for modern data centre interconnects. This makes the switches suitable for multi-tenant or hybrid cloud deployments with high scalability needs.

ENERGY-EFFICIENT DESIGN

The switches employ variable-speed fans and efficient power supplies that dynamically adjust to system load, reducing power consumption and operating costs without sacrificing performance. They comply with ENERGY STAR and RoHS environmental standards.

FLEXIBLE MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING

With support for SNMPv1/v2/v3, CLI, HTTP/HTTPS, and Arista CloudVision, these switches can be managed both on-premises and via the cloud. Features like role-based administration, logging, monitoring, and zero-touch provisioning simplify operations at scale.
