Why Arista 720XP Series
PoE+ Power Delivery
Power IP phones, access points and IoT devices directly from the switch — no separate power supplies.
Intelligent Access
Automated device onboarding, port profiling and role-based access control for campus environments.
Secure by Design
MACsec, 802.1X and dynamic ARP inspection protect every campus access port from edge to core.
One operating system for every Arista switch
Arista EOS is a single, consistent operating system running across every switch in your network — from 1 Gbps access to 400 Gbps spine. It's fully programmable, Linux-based and built for automation from day one.
Extensible Operating System
Linux kernel · Multi-agent · State-driven
Fully Programmable
Every EOS feature is accessible via REST API, gRPC and Python — automate anything without vendor-specific tooling.
Open & Extensible
Run custom agents and open-source tools directly on the switch OS — no proprietary SDKs required.
Consistent CLI
One unified CLI across every Arista platform — no relearning when you scale or upgrade hardware.
State-Driven & Telemetry-Ready
Streaming telemetry and state-driven forwarding give real-time visibility into every packet path.
CloudVision: network-wide intelligence
Arista CloudVision provides a single pane of glass for provisioning, telemetry and compliance across your entire Arista estate.
Zero-Touch Provisioning
New switches are provisioned automatically via CloudVision — no manual CLI work required.
Real-Time Telemetry
Streaming telemetry from every switch gives you sub-second visibility into traffic, errors and events.
Change Control & Rollback
Every configuration change is audited and reversible — roll back to any previous state in seconds.
Compliance & Security
Continuous compliance checks detect drift from your golden config and alert before issues escalate.
