Arista CCS-710P-16P | 710P 12-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch, 230W, 2x 10G SFP+

Q: Can this switch be powered by PoE from an upstream switch?
A: Yes, the CCS-710P-16P includes a PoE input port that can draw up to 90W (802.3bt Type 4) from an upstream PoE switch, allowing it to power itself and downstream PoE devices simultaneously.

Q: What makes this switch suitable for quiet environments?
A: The CCS-710P-16P features a completely fanless design, making it ideal for noise-sensitive environments like conference rooms, classrooms, broadcast control rooms, and retail spaces where traditional fan-cooled switches would be disruptive.

Q: Does this switch support continuous PoE during reboots?
A: Yes, the switch supports Continuous PoE on a per-port basis, which maintains power to downstream devices even when the system is rebooted or upgraded, eliminating the need for backup power sources for critical PoE devices.

Q: What routing capabilities does this Layer 3 switch provide?
A: Running Arista EOS, the CCS-710P-16P supports full Layer 3 routing including static routing, OSPF, BGP, and can be enhanced with the FLX-Lite license for advanced features including up to 8K routes, EVPN, and VXLAN capabilities.

Q: What management options are available for this switch?
A: The switch can be managed via Arista CloudVision (on-premises or as-a-Service), CLI, SNMP, and supports Zero Touch Provisioning for automated deployment. It integrates seamlessly into the Arista Cognitive Campus architecture for centralized management.
