EOS 4.24.2F TOI

For a pair of QSFP100 ports grouped together on a gearbox, it is possible to enable a 10G or 25G link on the first primary port while maintaining the usage of the secondary port at any speed. For two QSFP100 ports on a gearbox, the primary port allows for breakout speeds 4x10G and 4x25G, while the secondary does not. The configuration of the primary port determines whether the secondary port can be used since in a full breakout mode such as 4x10G the secondary port is forced inactive.

802.1X is an IEEE standard protocol that prevents unauthorized devices from gaining access to the network.

The following table describes the advanced mirroring features that are currently supported with links to their respective TOIs.

This feature adds support for “Enhanced Route Refresh” capability (RFC7313). An enhanced route refresh is,

The BGP-LS extension allows IGPs (OSPF/IS-IS) link state database information to be injected into BGP. This is typically used in deployments where some external component, (like a controller or Path Computation Engine) can do centralized path computations by learning the entire IGP topology through BGP-LS. The controller can then communicate the computed paths based on the BGP-LS updates to the head end device in the network. The mechanism used by the controller to communicate the computed TE paths is outside the scope of this document. Using BGP-LS instead of an IGP peering with the controller to distribute IGP link state information has the following advantages.

The BGP graceful restart mechanism has a limitation that the graceful restart time cannot exceed 4095 seconds as per

Virtual ARP (VARP) allows multiple switches to simultaneously route packets from a common IP address in an active

Connectivity Monitor is an EOS feature that allows users to monitor their network resources from their Arista switches. The resources being monitored may or may not be Arista devices. Connectivity monitoring is unidirectional in nature.

This document describes the configuration and behavior of physical interfaces on the DCS 7060X4 series switches

Support for DHCPv4 (RFC 2131)  and DHCPv6 Server (RFC 8415) was added to EOS-4.22.1 and EOS-4.23.0 respectively. EOS DHCP server leverages ISC Kea as backend. The router with DHCP Server enabled acts as a server that allocates and delivers network addresses with desired configuration parameters to its hosts.

EVPN MPLS VPWS (RFC 8214) provides the ability to forward customer traffic to / from a given attachment circuit (AC) without any MAC lookup / learning. The basic advantage of VPWS over an L2 EVPN is the reduced control plane signalling due to not exchanging MAC address information. In contrast to LDP pseudowires, EVPN MPLS VPWS uses BGP for signalling. Port based and VLAN based services are supported.

Typical WiFi networks utilize a single, central Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) to act as a gateway between the wireless APs and the wired network. Arista differentiates itself by allowing the wireless network to utilize a distributed set of aggregation switches to connect APs to the wired network. This feature allows a decentralized and distributed set of aggregation switches to bridge wireless traffic on behalf of the set of APs configured to VXLAN tunnel all traffic to those aggregation switches, or their “local” APs.

EOS supports the ability to match on a single VLAN tag (example: encapsulation dot1q vlan 10)  or a VLAN tag pair (example: encapsulation dot1q vlan 10 inner 20) to map matching packets to an interface. In this case, the encapsulation string is considered consumed by the mapped interface before forwarding, which means that the tags are effectively removed from the incoming packet for the purposes of any downstream forwarding.

Generic UDP Encapsulation (GUE) is a general method for encapsulating packets of arbitrary IP protocols within a UDP tunnel. GUE provides an extensible header format with optional data. In this release, decap capability of GUE packets of variant 1 header format has been added. This variant allows direct encapsulation using the UDP header without the GUE header. The inner payload could be one of IPv4, IPv6, or MPLS.

A L2 sub-interface is a logical bridging endpoint associated with traffic on an interface distinguished by 802.1Q tags, where each <interface, 802.1q tag> tuple is treated as a first class bridging interface.

The candidate configuration feature implements support for a candidate data store as specified in RFC6241.

An OSPF router can attract all traffic towards itself from within the OSPF network, by advertising a default route. Often it is desirable to advertise this default route conditionally, for instance, only when there is a connection to an upstream router or when a default route is learnt through other protocols like BGP. OSPF conditional default-originate provides the above functionality.

Section 9.5 of RFC2328 “OSPF Version 2” states that the mask in Hello packets should be set to 0.0.0.0 when

This feature rewrites the overlay source MAC address of the packet which egresses the switch after the VXLAN

Policy-based routing (PBR) is a feature that is applied on routable ports, to preferentially route packets. Forwarding is based on a policy that is enforced at the ingress of the applied interface and overrides normal routing decisions. In addition to matches on regular ACLs, PBR policy-maps can also include “raw match” statements that look like a single entry of an ACL as a convenience for users.

Equal Cost Multi-path (ECMP) provides the ability to load-share traffic across multiple next-hops. When a next-hop fails or is deleted all flows are affected. This is due to the nature of the load-balancing algorithm which re-calculates a new hash for the flows based on the remaining active next-hops.

This article describes the support for Filtered Mirroring using security ACL. The user can selectively mirror packets based on the statement in the configured IPv4, IPv6 or MAC ACL.

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.

Subinterfaces divide a single ethernet or port channel interface into multiple logical L2 or L3 interfaces based on

This feature adds support for “Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB)” on Equal Cost Multi Path (ECMP) groups.
It is intended to help overcome the potential shortcomings of traditional hash-based load balancing by considering the traffic load of members of ECMP groups. DLB considers the state of the port while assigning egress ports to packets, resulting in a more even flow. The state of each port member is determined by measuring the amount of data transmitted from a given port and total number of packets enqueued to a given port.

Dynamic NAT is a feature which dynamically allocates an IP address to an incoming or outgoing flow. This address will replace source or destination IP for all packets of the flow.

This feature adds the support for learning multiple equal cost routes for a destination in the RIP protocol. This
