Integrated MACsec Encryption

The CCS-722 Series supports encryption on all ports for dataplane security using industry standard MACsec encryption that avoids

common threats including snooping in a zero trust environment. Every access port and uplink port supports 256 bit MACsec encryption,

to secure communications between MACsec capable devices including Arista’s MACsec capable WiFi access points and to the network

campus core. MACsec is a separately licensed feature for each switch.

Cognitive PoE for Mission Critical Services

Power efficiency, flexible options, power prioritization and constant PoE allow the CCS-722 series switches to support critical campus

services like video security and emergency communications. 802.3af, at and bt power options deliver from 15-60W to RJ45 ports. The

CCS-722 platinum rated power supplies, coupled with its low nominal consumption leaves an ample power budget for connected

appliances and IoT devices. A choice of 650W or 1050W single or redundant AC power supply options allow administrators to customize

power allocation and redundancy to meet their use cases and budget. 

Dynamic Power Management

Arista leverages state of the art switching and power management technology that not only delivers enhanced power delivery options

supporting the latest standards, but does so more efficiently and reliably than standard PoE delivery, so administrators can support more

devices cost effectively. Dynamic PoE management enhances power budgeting and allocation features to help economize power

allocation to powered devices (PD) connected to each switch dynamically allocating PoE power based on priority settings. Load sharing

Power Supplies allow customers to share a common PoE bank between the power supplies within a switch, optimizing unused power

bank typically allocated for the board to power more PoE devices. Persistent PoE provides power to the powered device (PD) connected

to a PoE port even when the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) is rebooting. With cognitive campus monitoring, power configuration and

utilization are tracked in real time and archived, so administrators can accurately monitor and report service levels and infrastructure

power demands

Arista Optics and Cables

The Arista 722XPM series supports a wide range of 1G, 10G and 25G pluggable optics and cables. For details about the different optical

EOS Licensing

Arista 722XPM Series with EOS and CloudVision, are designed to provide flexibility both in the choice of the appropriate feature

functionality and in the software consumption model. The base feature set of Arista EOS comes bundled with the Arista products and

systems. A set of feature licenses are available to enable additional functionality in advanced feature sets. The traditional licensing

procurement model employs a perpetual term for the right to use the feature, set at a fixed price. For Arista CloudVision the functionality

is available as a monthly subscription, for an agreed upon term.

Routing:

General Routing functionality (BGP, OSPF, Multicast, etc) is available in the EOS Enhanced (E) license. The EOS Flex-route (FLX) Lite license

expands that to include key features like BGP-EVPN for VXLAN. 

Automation/Visibility:

CloudVision is the most complete offering for advanced automation and visibility. Arista also offers subsets of CloudVision Lite, for entry-

level GUI functionality. CloudVision is offered as an on-premises appliance (virtual or physical appliance) or as a SaaS-based software

application that is fully managed by Arista.

The EOS V2 license includes capability to run custom extensions natively or via containers in EOS. In addition, the V2 license gives

customers an option of integrating with Arista’s best of breed ecosystem for security, analytics, visibility, and other use-cases.

Campus Overlay Scale

The CCS-722 series switches utilizes data center class virtualization features to provide hundreds of segmented networks to thousands of

users and devices. In addition to 802.1Q VLANs, the CCS-722 delivers support for VXLAN overlay networks with CVX and EVPN control
