About the Arista 720XP Series PoE Switching Platform

The Arista 720XP Series PoE Switching Platform delivers enterprise-grade power delivery with a total PoE budget of 3,600W and maximum per-port output of 90W (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4), making it ideal for dense deployments of high-power networked devices. This 2RU fixed configuration switch combines 96 access ports supporting 100M/1G/2.5G Multi-Gig connectivity with dual 100G QSFP28 uplinks, creating a versatile platform for campus, branch, and edge network environments. Network engineers and IT procurement teams will appreciate the DCS-720XP-96ZC2 model's support for hot-swappable redundant power supplies and flexible cooling options (front-to-rear and rear-to-front airflow), ensuring operational resilience across varied deployment scenarios.

Running Arista EOS (Extensible Operating System), this switch provides comprehensive Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocol support including VXLAN, EVPN, LACP, LLDP, OSPFv2/v3, BGP, and VRF capabilities. Native CloudVision integration enables centralized telemetry, zero-touch provisioning (ZTP), and network state verification, while programmability through OpenConfig, NETCONF/YANG, RESTful API, gRPC, and gNMI streamlines automation and orchestration workflows. With IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (PoE++) standards support, the Arista platform accommodates the full spectrum of powered endpoint requirements. Management interfaces include both console (RJ-45) and dedicated out-of-band Ethernet connectivity. Designed for reliable operation across 0°C to 45°C temperature ranges and certified to FCC Class A, CE, and RoHS standards, this switch meets stringent enterprise requirements.
