Arista CCS-722XPM-48Y4-R | 722XPM 48-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch, 967W, 4x 25G, 4x 10G

Q: Does this switch require a separate license for full functionality?
A: The CCS-722XPM-48Y4-R ships with base Arista EOS functionality included. Advanced features like full Layer 3 routing beyond 32K routes, EVPN, and VXLAN require optional FLX-Lite or FlexRoute feature licenses. CloudVision management is available as a subscription service.

Q: What does the -R suffix mean in the model number?
A: The -R suffix indicates rear-to-front (reverse) airflow, designed for hot aisle exhaust deployment in data centers. This model uses blue-handled fans and power supplies. The standard -F variant has front-to-rear airflow with red-handled components for cold aisle intake.

Q: Does this switch include power supplies and fans?
A: The CCS-722XPM-48Y4-R requires power supplies and fans to be ordered separately. It supports one or two PWR-1021-AC-RED (1050W) or PWR-621-AC-BLUE power supplies for redundancy, and ships with three hot-swappable fans matched to the reverse airflow configuration.

Q: Can this switch be used for IoT and campus edge deployments?
A: Yes, the 722XPM series is specifically designed for IoT-enabled campus environments. It provides 802.1X authentication, dynamic MACsec encryption, VLAN segmentation, and integrates with Arista Cognitive Campus services for automated device onboarding, visibility, and threat detection across user desktops, PoE appliances, and IoT devices.

Q: What routing protocols does this switch support?
A: The CCS-722XPM-48Y4-R supports OSPF, BGP, RIP-2, and static routing protocols. It also supports advanced campus features including MLAG for active-active redundancy, VXLAN/EVPN for overlay networking, VRF-lite for traffic segmentation, and FlowTracker for device inventory and conversation monitoring.
