Arista CCS-720XP-96ZC2-4F | 720XP 96-Port MultiGig PoE+ Switch, 4x 25G SFP, 2x 100G

Q: What PoE standards does this switch support?
A: The CCS-720XP-96ZC2-4F supports 802.3af, 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++) standards, delivering 15W to 90W per port depending on device requirements. With four 1050W power supplies, the switch provides up to 3,150W total PoE budget for high-density IoT, IP cameras, wireless APs, and other powered devices.

Q: What is the difference between the -4F and -2F models?
A: The -4F model includes four 1050W AC power supplies for maximum redundancy and PoE capacity, while the -2F model includes two 1050W supplies. The -4F configuration is ideal for deployments requiring full N+1 redundancy with maximum PoE budget, supporting more high-power devices simultaneously.

Q: Can this switch be managed through CloudVision?
A: Yes, the CCS-720XP-96ZC2-4F integrates seamlessly with Arista CloudVision for centralized management, automated provisioning, real-time telemetry, and continuous compliance monitoring. CloudVision provides a single pane of glass for managing campus infrastructure with predictive analytics and zero-touch deployment capabilities.

Q: What licensing is required for full Layer 3 routing?
A: The 720XP series requires Arista FLX licensing for advanced routing features. FLX-Lite provides full routing up to 32K routes with EVPN and VXLAN support, while full FLX licensing extends routing tables to 200K routes with advanced protocols like OSPF, ISIS, and BGP/MP-BGP for larger campus networks.

Q: Is this switch suitable for industrial or outdoor deployments?
A: No, the CCS-720XP-96ZC2-4F is designed for standard enterprise campus environments with 0°C to 40°C operating temperature range. For industrial applications or harsh environments, consider Arista's industrial switch series with extended temperature ranges and rugged enclosures.
