Operating Mode Button

This section describes the functionality of the mode button located on the front panel of the switch.

Figure 1. Mode Button States

The mode button port LEDs will transition to different modes as listed below when the user presses the mode button for less than 2 seconds, and the same is indicated by the corresponding mode status LED.

  • Normal Mode

  • PoE Mode

  • Speed Mode

In addition to controlling the port/mode LEDs, the button can trigger other actions, including a hard reset and a factory reset. To access these actions, it is required to long-press the button as shown in the Figure 1 - Mode Button States.

  • Entering Reset States:

    If you press and hold the button for more than 2 seconds, all the three mode status LEDs will flash to indicate the transition from regular operating states to reset states. If the button is released before 5 seconds, no action will occur, and the system will return to its previous mode (normal, PoE, or link speed).

  • Hard Reset:

    If you press and hold the button for about 5 to 15 seconds, it will trigger a hard reset of the system 2 seconds later.

  • Factory Reset:

    If you press and hold the button for about 15 seconds or longer, it will trigger a hard reset of the system 2 seconds later. In addition, the system will also trigger factory reset on system configuration.

Configuring the Switch

Arista switches ship from the factory in Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) mode. ZTP configures the switch without user intervention by downloading a startup configuration file or a boot script from a location specified by a DHCP server. To manually configure a switch, ZTP is bypassed. The initial configuration provides one username (admin) that is accessible only through the console port because it has no password.

When bypassing ZTP, initial switch access requires logging in as admin, with no password, through the console port. Then you can configure an admin password and other password protected usernames.

This manual configuration procedure cancels ZTP mode, logs into the switch, assigns a password to the admin, assigns an IP address to the management port, and defines a default route to a network gateway.

  1. Provide power to the switch (Connecting Power Cables).
  2. Connect the console port to a PC (Connecting Serial and Management Cables).

    As the switch boots without a startup-config file, it displays the following through the console:

    The device is in Zero Touch Provisioning mode and is 
attempting to download the startup-config from a remote system. 
The device will not be fully functional until either a valid 
startup-config is downloaded from a remote system or Zero Touch 
Provisioning is cancelled. To cancel Zero Touch Provisioning, login 
as admin and type 'zerotouch cancel' at the CLI. 
localhost login:
  3. Log into the switch by typing admin at the login prompt. 
    localhost login: admin
  4. Cancel ZTP mode by typing zerotouch cancel.
    IMPORTANT: This step initiates a switch reboot. 
    localhost>zerotouch cancel
  5. After the switch boots, log into the switch again by typing admin at the login prompt. 
    Arista EOS
localhost login:admin
Last login: Fri Mar 15 13:17:13 on console
  6. Enter global configuration mode. 
    localhost>enable
localhost#config
  7. Assign a password to the admin username using the username secret command. 
    localhost(config)#username admin secret pxq123
  8. Configure a default route to the network gateway. 
    localhost(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0/0 192.0.2.1
  9. Assign an IP address (192.0.2.8/24 in this example) to an Ethernet management port. 
    localhost(config)#interface management 1
localhost(config-if-Ma1/1)#ip address 192.0.2.8/24
  10. Save the configuration by typing write memory or copy running-config startup-config. 
    localhost#copy running-config startup-config
  11. When the management port IP address is configured, use this command to access the switch from a host, using the address configured in step 9: 
    ssh admin@192.0.2.8

     

    Refer to the Arista Networks User Manual for complete switch configuration information.

Cabling the Switch

The Cabling the Switch section includes the following topics:

Grounding the Switch

This section describes the importance of grounding the device to the data center ground.

Normally, the functional grounding of the switch is achieved through the input connection. If you would like to do additional grounding, proceed to the following instructions:

Figure 1. Grounding the Switch

1 Screw M4 (with washer) 3 Functional Grounding Point
2 Solder terminal lug    
Note: Grounding wires and grounding lugs are not supplied with the product. The wire size should meet local and national installation requirements.
CAUTION: The grounding connection must only be removed if all supply connections are disconnected.
  1. Ensure the rack is properly grounded and complies with ETSI ETS 300 253.
  2. Verify a good electrical connection to the grounding point on the rack (no paint or isolating surface treatment).
  3. Attach the solder terminal lug to an 18 AWG minimum grounding wire and connect it to the grounding point on the rear panel of the switch.
  4. Tighten the M4 screw to secure the lug to the grounding point.
  5. Connect the other end of the wire to the nearby grounded surface.

Connecting Power Cables

This section describes the installation requirements for connecting the power cables to the device.

Important:

  • Installation of this equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Consult with the appropriate regulatory agencies and inspection authorities to assure compliance if necessary.

    Installation de cet équipement doit être conformes aux codes électriques locaux et nationaux. Si nécessaire, consulter les organismes de réglementation appropriés et des autorités de contrôle pour assurer la conformité.

  • Read all installation instructions before connecting the system to the power source.

    Lire toutes les instructions d'installation avant de brancher le système à la source d'alimentation.

  • This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor.

    Cet équipement doit être mis à la terre. Ne jamais modifier le conducteur de terre.

  • This unit requires overcurrent protection.

    Cet appareil requiert une protection contre les surintensités.

Connecting AC Power

This section describes how to connect the AC power supply to the device.

The AC power supplies are internal to each switch.

Power requirements vary by switch. Refer to the Specifications section for information regarding your specific device.

The Rear Panel section displays the location of the power supplies for a specific device.

Use power supply cables that comply with IEC-320 and have a C13 plug.

Connecting Serial and Management Cables

This section describes the type of cables required to connect the device.

The following RJ-45 to DB-9 table lists the pin connections of the RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter cable.

Table 1. RJ-45 to DB-9 Connections
RJ-45 DB-9 RJ-45 DB-9
RTS 1 8 CTS GND 5 5 GND
DTR 2 6 DSR RXD 6 3 TXD
TXD 3 2 RXD DSR 7 4 DTR
GND 4 5 GND CTS 8 7 RTS

Connect the front panel ports as described below:

  • Console (Serial) Port: Connect to a computer with the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial adapter cable. The switch uses the following default settings:

    • 9600 baud
    • No flow control
    • 1 stop bit
    • No parity bits
    • 8 data bits
  • Ethernet Management Port: Connect to a 10/100/1000 management network with an RJ-45 Ethernet cable.
  • USB Port: The USB port may be used for software or configuration updates.
    Important:

    Excessive bending can damage interface cables, especially optical cables.

    Flexion excessive peut endommager les câbles d'interface, notamment des câbles optiques.
