Arista CCS-720XDM-48T-6SY-F | 720XDM 48-Port Gigabit Switch, 4x 25G, 2x 10G SFP+

Q: Does the CCS-720XDM-48T-6SY-F support Power over Ethernet?
A: No, the 720XDM-48T model is a non-PoE switch. It provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports without power delivery. For PoE requirements, consider the 720XPM series.

Q: What is the difference between the -F suffix and other airflow options?
A: The -F suffix indicates front-to-rear airflow, meaning air is drawn from the front of the switch and exhausted out the rear. This is the standard cooling design for most data center and wiring closet deployments.

Q: Can I use 10G optics in the 25G SFP28 uplink ports?
A: Yes, the 25GbE SFP28 uplink ports are backward compatible with 10GbE SFP+ optics, providing flexibility for migration paths and mixed-speed uplink deployments.

Q: What management platform is required for the 720XDM series?
A: The switch runs Arista EOS and can be managed via CLI, SNMP, or Arista CloudVision. CloudVision provides centralized management, automation, and telemetry for campus deployments.

Q: Does this switch support stacking or MLAG for redundancy?
A: The 720XDM series supports MLAG (Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation) for active-active redundancy and high availability, but does not support traditional hardware stacking.
