FAQs

Q: What is the maximum PoE power budget available on this switch?
A: The CCS-720DP-48ZS-2F provides a total PoE budget of 1500W when using 240V power, or 700W with 120V power. Each of the 48 ports supports up to 60W per port using 802.3bt (PoE++) standard, making it ideal for powering high-performance Wi-Fi 6E access points, PTZ cameras, and other power-hungry devices.

Q: What types of devices are best suited for the 2.5G multigigabit ports?
A: The 2.5GBASE-T ports are optimized for Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E access points that require higher bandwidth than traditional 1G connections, as well as high-resolution IP cameras, digital signage, and IoT devices. The multigigabit capability provides future-proofing for bandwidth-intensive campus applications while maintaining backward compatibility with 1G and 100M devices.

Q: Does this switch support stacking or multi-chassis link aggregation?
A: The CCS-720DP-48ZS-2F supports MLAG (Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation) using IEEE 802.3ad LACP, allowing you to create redundant active-active connections between pairs of switches without traditional stacking. This provides greater flexibility in campus pod deployments and eliminates single points of failure.

Q: What Layer 3 routing capabilities does this switch offer?
A: The switch delivers wire-speed Layer 3 routing with support for major protocols including OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, and 64-way ECMP for load balancing. It also supports advanced features like VRFs for network segmentation, Policy-Based Routing, BFD for fast convergence, and VXLAN with EVPN for overlay networks, making it suitable for collapsed core or distributed campus architectures.

Q: Is Arista CloudVision required for management, or can the switch operate standalone?
A: The CCS-720DP-48ZS-2F can operate as a fully managed standalone switch using Arista EOS via CLI, web GUI, or SNMP. CloudVision management is optional but recommended for enterprise deployments, providing centralized provisioning, telemetry, change control, and automation across campus networks. Licensing for advanced features may be required depending on deployment requirements.
