Arista CCS-720DT-24S-M-S-2F | 720D 24-Port Gigabit Switch, 4x 10G SFP+

Q: What is the difference between the 720DT and 720DP models?
A: The 720DT models are data-only switches without Power over Ethernet, while the 720DP models include PoE/PoE+ capabilities with up to 30W per port. The 720DT-24S consumes less power with dual 100W supplies versus dual 460W supplies on PoE variants.

Q: What does the M-S-2F suffix indicate in the SKU?
A: The M denotes expanded memory configuration with 8GB flash and 4GB RAM. The S indicates front-to-rear airflow direction. The 2F indicates dual redundant fixed AC power supplies for high availability.

Q: Does this switch support VXLAN for network segmentation?
A: Yes, the 720DT-24S supports VXLAN routing and bridging with hardware-based de-encapsulation, up to 1,000 VXLAN tunnel endpoints, EVPN Type 2 and Type 5, and wire-speed VRF segmentation for advanced campus overlay networks.

Q: Can this switch operate in a Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation deployment?
A: Yes, the switch supports MLAG using IEEE 802.3ad LACP, allowing active-active deployment in campus pods for redundancy and load balancing without traditional stacking, ideal for modern leaf-spine campus architectures.

Q: What layer 3 routing protocols are supported?
A: The 720DT-24S supports full dynamic routing with OSPFv2/v3, BGP, MP-BGP, IS-IS, and RIPv2, along with 64-way ECMP, BFD, PIM multicast, and VRF-lite for enterprise campus core and distribution layer deployments.
