TOI Author :: Jeevan Kamisetty

AVA switch sensor aka “monitor security awake” feature provides deep network analysis by doing deep packet inspection of some or all packets of traffic that's forwarded by the switch. It continuously monitors enterprise devices, users, and applications wherever they are, even as IP addresses change while maintaining a forensic record of past activities. This functionality can be enabled/disabled on the fly without impacting regular packet forwarding functionality.

Sampled flow tracking with IPFIX export is supported on most of the Arista platforms. User configured sampling rate is used for sampling in ingress and/or egress direction on the configured interfaces. An EOS software agent on CPU processes samples received from hardware, samples are used to create flow records that are exported to IPFIX collectors. Refer to Sampled flow tracking TOI for additional details.

Arista MLAG supports STP for Layer 2 loop detection. In fact, most customers enable STP in their MLAG(s) to ensure no

Network administrators require access to flow information that passes through various network elements, for the purpose of analyzing and monitoring their networks. This feature provides access to IP flow information by sampling traffic flows in ingress and/or egress directions on the interfaces on which it is configured.

Arista campus switches allow extensive and fine grained hardware based flow tracking and management features. They

DHCPv6 relay supports Remote ID option (37) insertion in relay messages providing the Layer 3 interface name on which
