Data Sheet

Access
C-330 is a building block of a self-driving Wi-Fi network , powering AI/ML based continued adaptations, saving time and resources resulting
in significant cost savings and increased satisfaction.

• Plug and play provisioning using either Cloud or On-premises deployments - Arista Access Points take less than two minutes to activate
and configure after connecting to the cloud

• Network controls like NAT, Firewall and QoS implemented at the Access Point, ensuring faster and more reliable networks

• Continuous scanning of all 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz channels by a dedicated 2x2 multi-function radio provides a dynamic, 360-degree
view of the RF environment to assist in RF optimization and client handling

• Network availability and performance assurance using the multi-function third radio as a client to conduct on-demand and scheduled
connectivity and performance tests

• Smart steering addresses sticky client issues by automatically pushing clients with low data rates to a better access point

• Band steering manages channel occupancy, pushing clients to the 5GHz and 6GHz channels for optimal throughput

• Smart load balancing distributes load evenly across neighbouring APs to optimize the use of network resources

• Arista Wi-Fi’s distributed data plane architecture continues to serve users and secure the network even if connection with the
management plane is interrupted

• Interference avoidance from LTE/3G small/macro cells in commonly used TDD/FDD frequency bands

Security
C-330 offers complete visibility and control of the wireless airspace ensuring network integrity while actively protecting users without
manual intervention.

• C-330 is equipped with industry leading fully integrated wireless intrusion prevention capabilities

• Multi-function radio provides uninterrupted spectrum scanning or client emulation for always on security coverage alongside dedicated
2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz access radios

• Arista’s patented Marker PacketsTM help accurately detect rogue access points on any network while minimizing false positives

• Multifunction radio used as a dedicated security sensor for 24x7x365 scanning and automated over-the-air (OTA) prevention

• Deterministic rogue AP detection and prevention by monitoring all Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi VLANs

• OTA and on-the-wire prevention techniques assure automatic and reliable threat prevention to keep unauthorized clients and rogue APs
off the network without impacting authorized connections

• Access Points autonomously scan for wireless threats and enforce security policy even if disconnected from the cloud management
plane

• VLAN monitoring enables a virtual connection to non-Wi-Fi networks for complete network rogue detection and prevention

Analytics
C-330 provides real-time telemetry by granular state steaming and Cognitive Analytics provides correlation analysis and trend analysis
using predictive algorithms across wireless and wired networks. Compliance and Risk analysis is supported by continuous assessment and
report of deviations.
