Note: You can narrow down the error condition by logging in to the switch to view the specific device state. Refer to the Arista User Manual’s Switch Environment Control chapter, under the topic Viewing Environment Status, for further information on the show environment commands.
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) 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 admin, assigns an IP address to the management port, and defines a default route to a network gateway.
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:
Log into the switch by typing admin at the login prompt.
localhost login: admin
Cancel ZTP mode by typing zerotouch cancel.
Important: This step initiates a switch reboot.
localhost> zerotouch cancel
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
Enter global configuration mode.
localhost> enable
localhost# config
Assign a password to the admin username with the username secret command.
localhost(config)# username admin secret pxq123
Configure a default route to the network gateway.
localhost(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0/0 192.0.2.1
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
Save the configuration by typing write memory or copy running-config startup-config.
localhost# copy running-config startup-config
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.

Four-Post Rack Mount provides instructions for mounting all switches in a four-post rack.
After completing the instructions for your rack type, proceed to Cabling the Switch.
Two-Post Rack Mount
To mount the switch onto a two-post rack, assemble the mounting brackets to the chassis, then attach the brackets to the rack posts. Two-post accessory kits include the following two-post mounting parts:
2 Three-hole Mounting Brackets
Each chassis side has attachment pins that align with bracket holes. Pin orientation is symmetric and equidistant, supporting bracket placements where the flange is flush with the front switch panel, flush with the rear panel, or not flush with either panel. Each bracket hole includes a key-opening for placing the bracket flush with the chassis and then locking it into place.
Important:
Attachment pins must engage all three upper bracket holes.
Goupilles de fixation doivent être bloquer tous les trois trous de la bride supérieure.
Figure 1 displays proper bracket mount configuration examples. Figure 2 displays improper bracket mount configuration examples.
Attaching Two-Post Mounting Brackets to the Chassis
This procedure attaches mounting brackets to the switch chassis.
Align the mounting brackets with the attachment pins to obtain the desired mounting position.
Place the bracket flush on the chassis with attachment pins protruding through key-openings.

Slide the bracket toward the front flange until the bracket clip locks with an audible click.
Figure 3. Attaching the Mounting Brackets to the Switch Chassis
To remove the mounting bracket from the chassis, lift the front edge of the mounting bracket clip with a flathead screwdriver and slide the bracket away from the front flange (opposite from the installation direction).
Inserting the Switch into the Rack
This procedure attaches the switch to the rack (Figure 4).
Lift the chassis into the rack. Position the flanges against the rack posts.
Select mounting screws that fit your equipment rack.
Attach the bracket flanges to the rack posts.
Figure 4. Inserting the Switch into the Rack
After completing the two-post rack mount, proceed to Cabling the Switch.
Four-Post Rack Mount
The switch is mounted onto a four-post rack by assembling two rails onto the rear posts, sliding the switch onto the rails, then securing the switch to the front posts.
The installation kit provides the following four-post mounting parts:
2 six-hole mounting brackets
2 rail-rods
2 rail-slides
The rail-rods and rail-slides assemble into two identical slide-rails.
Each chassis side has attachment pins that align with bracket holes. Pin orientation is symmetric and equidistant, supporting bracket placements where the flange is flush with the front switch panel, flush with the rear panel, or not flush with either panel. Each bracket hole includes a key-opening for placing the bracket flush with the chassis and then locking it into place.
Important:
Attachment pins must engage at least five of the six bracket holes.
Goupilles de fixation doivent être lock au moins cinq des trous du six support.

Slide the bracket toward the front flange until the bracket clip locks with an audible click.
To remove the mounting bracket from the chassis, lift the front edge of the mounting bracket clip with a flathead screwdriver and slide the bracket away from the front flange (opposite from the installation direction).
Assembling the Rails onto the Equipment Rack
Rail-rods and rail-slides assemble into two identical rails. Each rail connects a front post to a rear post. When the rails are installed, the switch slides on the rails into the rack. Each bracket includes a screw that attaches the switch to the rail.
Each end of an assembled rail contains two rack plugs (Figure 8). The rails are installed into a rack by inserting the plugs into rack slots. When installing rails into posts with threaded or rounded holes, remove all plugs located on both sides of the assembled rails, then install the rails with bolts that fit the rack.
Figure 8. Attaching the Mounting Brackets to the Switch Chassis
This procedure attaches the rails to a four post rack:
Slide a rail-rod into a rail-slide (Figure 9) until the rail clip makes an audible click.
The rail clip prevents the extension of the rail beyond the maximum supported distance between the front and rear rack posts.
Figure 9. Assembling the Rails
Attach rail to the right rear rack post by inserting rod-end rack plugs into post slots. The slide assembly must be inside the right posts, relative to the left rack posts.
If the rack plugs were previously removed, use bolts to attach the rail to the rack.
Attach the slide end of the rail to the front post by extending the rail end past the post, then contracting the rail while guiding the rack plugs into the post.
Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 for the left posts. Ensure the rails are on the same horizontal level.
Figure 10. Attaching the Rails
Attaching the Switch to the Rack
After the rails are installed, the switch slides on the rails into the rack. Each bracket includes a thumb screw that attaches the switch to the rail.
Lift the switch into the rack and insert the mounting brackets into the slide rails.
Figure 11. Inserting the Switch onto the Rails
Slide the switch on the rails, toward the rear posts, until the mounting bracket flanges are flush with the rail flanges attached to the rack posts.
Attach the bracket flanges to the rack post using the quick-release thumb screws supplied with the brackets (Figure 12).
