Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What’s the main difference between Arista 720X and Arista 7060/7280 switches?
A: While 7060 and 7280 platforms are typically focused on data center leaf/spine and high-density 10/25/40/100GbE fabrics, the 720X family is designed primarily for campus and edge roles, with multi-gigabit PoE access and features tailored for wired access and aggregation.
Q: Are Arista 720X switches suitable for Wi-Fi 6/6E deployments?
A: Yes. With multi-gigabit access ports and PoE/PoE++ power options, Arista 720X switches are well suited for high-density Wi-Fi 6/6E access point deployments.
Q: Can Arista 720X switches be managed alongside Arista data center switches?
A: Yes. Arista 720X switches run EOS, the same network operating system as Arista’s data center platforms, and can be managed with the same tools and automation frameworks.
Q: Do you buy used Arista 720X switches?
A: Yes. BrightStar Systems purchases pre-owned Arista 720X equipment in bulk from enterprises, service providers, and integrators, and we handle freight logistics for qualifying orders.
