Time stamping is an important tool for network engineering and performance analysis. EOS-4.21.3F adds support for payload timestamping of all GRE encapsulated mirrored packets at line rate (initially only supported on the 7500R/7280R/7500R2/7280R2 series). A timestamp is taken on ingress and inserted into the GRE encapsulated mirrored packet payload at egress.

MMU Profile CLI allows to reserve buffers in either cells or bytes. This feature eases the configuration as different

In conventional VXLAN deployments, each MLAG pair of switches are represented as a common logical VTEP. VXLAN traffic can be decapsulated on either switch. In some networks, there are hosts that are singly connected to one of the MLAG pair.

Modular systems and fixed systems with multi faps by default use fabric egress replication mode. With fabric egress

This feature allows for setting BGP path attribute Multi Exit Discriminator for IGP routes advertised by BGP. This

The ‘show interfaces interactions’ command aims to provide users a resource that explains various relationships between ethernet interfaces. It describes interactions in which a configuration on an interface causes another set of interfaces to become inactive or have reduced capabilities.Examples include a primary interface consuming subordinate interfaces to service a four-lane speed or platform restrictions that require four interfaces of a port to operate at the same speed.

The MMU watermark counters report the maximum usage of the MMU queues during a given time window. This feature reports
