What is the port configuration and PoE capability of the CCS-720XP-48Y6-F?

Features 48x RJ45 ports supporting 10/100/1000Mbps with 802.3at PoE+ up to 30W each, plus 6x 25G SFP28 uplinks. Dual 1050W AC PSUs provide 1727W typical PoE budget (1707W min), enabling full Class 3 PoE on all ports for APs, cameras, and VoIP phones in campus access layers.

What switching performance does the Arista 720XP-48Y6 offer?

Delivers 700Gbps full-duplex throughput (396Gbps FDX listed variably), 294Mpps forwarding, and 1.2us port-to-port latency on RJ45. 8MB shared packet buffer with hardware sFlow/IPFIX supports non-blocking wire-speed across all ports for high-density user workloads.

Which advanced networking features are supported?

Includes 4096 802.1Q VLANs, IPv4/v6 VRF, 16.7M VXLAN with EVPN L2/L3, OSPF/BGP/IS-IS routing, MLAG (128 ports), IGMP snooping, and storm control. EOS software enables zero-downtime SSU upgrades and configuration rollback for reliable operations.

What management and monitoring capabilities are available?

Runs Arista EOS with dual-core x86 CPU, 4GB DRAM, 8GB flash. Supports SNMPv3, syslog, SSHv2, IPv6 management, RS-232 console, and USB. Hardware-accelerated sFlow/IPFIX provides deep traffic visibility without CPU overhead.

Is the CCS-720XP-48Y6-F suitable for data center top-of-rack?

Yes, with 700Gbps capacity, sub-1.2us latency, 25G uplinks, and VXLAN/EVPN for overlay fabrics. Front-to-rear airflow and 1RU form factor fit standard racks, ideal for low-latency east-west server traffic alongside campus duties.

What power supply options and airflow does it support?

Ships with front-to-rear airflow and 1x or 2x 1050W AC PSUs (100-240V). Default 1050W provides 982W PoE typical; dual units reach 1727W. Hot-swappable, redundant design ensures high availability in enterprise deployments.
