Arista CCS-720XDM-32S-6SY-2F | 720XDM 32-Port Gigabit SFP Switch, 4x 25G SFP28

Q: Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
A: No, the CCS-720XDM-32S-6SY-2F is a non-PoE model with 32 SFP fiber ports. For PoE requirements, consider the CCS-720XPM series with RJ45 ports.

Q: What licensing is required for advanced features?
A: Base Layer 2 features are included. Optional licenses include Enhanced (E) for OSPF/ISIS/BGP/PIM routing, FLX-Lite for full routing up to 32K routes with EVPN/VXLAN, and MACsec encryption for dataplane security. CloudVision management requires a separate subscription.

Q: Can this switch be used in a stacked configuration?
A: The 720XDM does not support traditional stacking. Instead, it supports MLAG (Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation) and Layer 3 ECMP for high-availability designs across multiple switches in campus pod architectures.

Q: What makes the 720XDM suitable for campus deployments?
A: The 720XDM provides all-fiber connectivity ideal for inter-building campus links, MDU deployments, or fiber-to-the-desk installations. It includes hardware-based FlowTracker for device fingerprinting, VXLAN de-encapsulation for wireless integration, and CloudVision integration for automated campus management.

Q: Is redundant power supported?
A: Yes, the 720XDM supports 1+1 redundant power supplies. This model ships with two 300W AC power supplies for full redundancy, and both supplies can operate simultaneously to increase total power capacity.
