Ethernet Ports
This section describes Ethernet ports supported by Arista switches. Topics covered in this section include:
Ethernet Ports introduction
Arista switches support a variety of Ethernet network interfaces. This chapter describes the configuration and monitoring options available in Arista switching platforms.
Ethernet Standards
Ethernet, standardized in IEEE 802.3, is a group of technologies used for communication over local area networks. Ethernet communication divides data streams into frames containing addresses (source and destination), payload, and cyclical redundancy check (CRC) information.
IEEE 802.3 also describes two types of optical fiber: single-mode fiber (SMF) and multi-mode fiber (MMF).
- SMF is more expensive, but can be used over longer distances (over 300 meters).
- MMF is less expensive, but can only be used over distances of less than 300 meters.
100 Gigabit Ethernet
The 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) standard defines an Ethernet implementation with a nominal data rate of 100 billion bits per second over multiple 10 gigabit lanes. 100 Gigabit Ethernet implements full duplex point to point links connected by network switches. Arista switches support 100GBASE-10SR through MXP ports.
40 Gigabit Ethernet
The 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) standard defines an Ethernet implementation with a nominal data rate of 40 billion bits per second over multiple 10 gigabit lanes. 40 Gigabit Ethernet implements full duplex point to point links connected by network switches. 40 gigabit Ethernet standards are named 40GBASE-xyz, as interpreted by 40GBASE-xyz Interpretation.

10 Gigabit Ethernet
The 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) standard defines an Ethernet implementation with a nominal data rate of 10 billion bits per second. 10 Gigabit Ethernet implements full duplex point to point links connected by network switches. Half duplex operation, hubs and CSMA/CD do not exist in 10GbE. The standard encompasses several PHY standards; a networking device may support different PHY types through pluggable PHY modules. 10GbE standards are named 10GBASE-xyz, as interpreted by 10GBASE-xyz Interpretation.

Gigabit Ethernet
The Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), defined by IEEE 802.3-2008, describes an Ethernet version with a nominal data rate of one billion bits per second. GbE cables and equipment are similar to those used in previous standards. While full-duplex links in switches is the typical implementation, the specification permits half-duplex links connected through hubs.
Gigabit Ethernet physical layer standards that Arista switches support include 1000BASE-X (optical fiber), 1000BASE-T (twisted pair cable), and 1000BASE-CX (balanced copper cable).
- 1000BASE-SX is a fiber optic standard that utilizes multi-mode fiber supporting 770 to 860 nm, near infrared (NIR) light wavelength to transmit data over distances ranging from 220 to 550 meters. 1000BASE-SX is typically used for intra-building links in large office buildings, co-location facilities and carrier neutral Internet exchanges.
- 1000BASE-LX is a fiber standard that utilizes a long wavelength laser (1,2701,355 nm), with a RMS spectral width of 4 nm to transmit data up to 5 km. 1000BASE-LX can run on all common types of multi-mode fiber with a maximum segment length of 550 m.
- 1000BASE-T is a standard for gigabit Ethernet over copper wiring. Each 1000BASE-T network segment can be a maximum length of 100 meters.
10/100/1000 BASE-T
Arista switches provide 10/100/1000 BASE-T Mbps Ethernet out of band management ports. Auto-negotiation is enabled on these interfaces. Speed (10/100/1000), duplex (half/full), and flow control settings are available using the appropriate speed forced and flowcontrol commands.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Selected Arista switches provide power over Ethernet (PoE) to power connected devices. Aristas PoE implementation is compliant with IEEE standards 802.3af and 802.3at, and includes partial support for 802.3bt.
When a standards-compliant powered device (PD) is connected to a PoE-enabled Ethernet port, it is recognized by a specific resistor signature, and its power class is determined by hardware negotiation; more granular power adjustments can then be managed by Link Layer Discovery Protocol (lldp).
Link Fault Signaling
Link Fault Signaling (LFS) is a mechanism by which remote link faults are transmitted to the peer over the link that is experiencing problems by configuring specific actions. LFS operates between the remote Reconciliation Sublayer (remote RS) and the local Reconciliation Sublayer (local RS). Faults that are detected between the remote RS and the local RS are treated by the local RS as Local Faults.
LFS enables monitoring FCS and Symbol errors on an interface and if they exceed a configured threshold, one of the following three actions are enabled.
- Disable the error on the interface
- Generate system log messages
- Generate a link fault
Ethernet Physical Layer
The Ethernet physical layer (PHY) includes hardware components connecting a switchs MAC layer to the transceiver, cable, and ultimately a peer link partner.
Data exist in digital form at the MAC layer. On the line side of the PHY, data exist as analog signals: light blips on optical fiber or voltage pulses on copper cable. Signals may be distorted while in transit and recovery may require signal processing. Ethernet physical layer components include a PHY and a transceiver.
PHYs
The PHY provides translation services between the MAC layer and transceiver. It also helps to establish links between the local MAC layer and peer devices by detecting and signaling fault conditions. The PHY line-side interface receives Ethernet frames from the link partner as analog waveforms. The PHY uses signal processing to recover the encoded bits, then sends them to the MAC layer.
PHY line-side interface components and their functions include:
- Physical Medium Attachment (PMA): Framing, octet synchronization, scrambling / descrambling.
- Physical Medium Dependent (PMD): Consists of the transceiver.
- Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS): Performs auto-negotiation and coding (8B/10B or 64B/66B).
The MAC sublayer of the PHY provides a logical connection between the MAC layer and the peer device by initializing, controlling, and managing the connection with the peer.
Ethernet frames transmitted by the switch are received by the PHY system-side interface as a sequence of digital bits. The PHY encodes them into a media-specific waveform for transmission through the line-side interface and transceiver to the link peer. This encoding may include signal processing, such as signal pre-distortion and forward error correction.
PHY system-side interface components and their functions include:
- 10 Gigabit Attachment Unit Interface (XAUI): Connects an Ethernet MAC to a 10 G PHY.
- Serial Gigabit Media Independent Attachment (SGMII): Connects an Ethernet MAC to a 1G PHY.
Transceivers
A transceiver connects the PHY to an external cable (optical fiber or twisted-pair copper) and through a physical connector (LC jack for fiber or RJ-45 jack for copper).
- Optical transceivers convert the PHY signal into light pulses that are sent through optical fiber.
- Copper transceivers connect the PHY to twisted-pair copper cabling.
Arista Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) and Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable (QSFP+) modules and cables provide high-density, low-power Ethernet connectivity over fiber and copper media. Arista offers transceivers that span data rates, media types, and transmission distances.

MXP Ports
MXP ports provide embedded optics that operate in one of three modes: 10GbE (12 ports), 40GbE (3 ports), and 100GbE (1 port). Each mode requires a specified cable is implemented through configuration commands. MXP ports utilize multi-mode fiber to provide support over 150 meters.
- 100GbE mode requires an MTP-24 to MTP-24 cable, which uses 20 of 24 fibers to carry 100Gbe across 10 send and 10 receive channels. When connecting two 100GbE MXP ports, the TX lanes must be crossed with the RX lanes.
- 40GbE mode requires an MTP cable that provides a split into three MTP-12 ends. The cable splits the MXP port into three MTP-12 ends, each compatible with standards based 40GBASE-SR4 ports over OM3 or OM4 fiber up to 100m or 150m.
- 10GbE mode requires an MTP cable that provides a split into 12x10G with LC connectors to adapt the MXP port into 12x10GbE. The cable splits the MXP port into twelve LC ends for using SR or SRL optics over multimode OM3/OM4 cables.
Interfaces
Arista switches provide two physical interface types that receive, process, and transmit Ethernet frames: Ethernet interfaces and Management interfaces.
Each Ethernet interface is assigned a 48-bit MAC address and communicates with other interfaces by exchanging data packets. Each packet contains the MAC address of its source and destination interface. Ethernet interfaces establish link level connections by exchanging packets. Interfaces do not typically accept packets with a destination address of a different interface.
Ethernet data packets are frames. A frame begins with preamble and start fields, followed by an Ethernet header that includes source and destination MAC addresses. The middle section contains payload data, including headers for other protocols carried in the frame. The frame ends with a 32-bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC) field that interfaces use to detect data corrupted during transmission.
Ethernet Interfaces
Ethernet speed and duplex configuration options depend on the media type of the interface:
- 40G QSFP+: Default operation is as four 10G ports. Speed forcedcommand options support configuration as a single 40G port.
- 10GBASE-T: Mode is autonegotiate by default, offering 10G and 1G full duplex and 100M. Default setting is 10G. Half duplex and 10M are not supported. Adjustments may be made using sa commands.
- 10GBASE (SFP+): Port operates as a single 10G port. Speed forcedcommands do not affect configuration.
- 1000BASE-T (copper): Mode is autonegotiate by default, offering 1G full and 100M; default setting is 1G full. Autonegotiation that offers only 100M is available through speed auto 100full command. Half duplex and 10M are not supported.
- 100G CFP: Default operation is 100G. It cannot be split, and its speed cannot be changed.
- 100G MXP: Default operation is as a single 100G port on the 7500 and 7280 platforms, and as three 40G ports on the 7050 platform. On the 7500 and 7280 platforms, available speed/duplex settings are a single100G port, three 40G ports, or twelve 10G ports. On the 7050 platform, available speed/duplex settings are three 40G ports or twelve 10G ports. Adjustments are made with speed forced commands.
- 100G QSFP100: Available speeds are transceiver-dependent. The QSFP100 transceiver
supports a single 100G port, four 25G ports, or two 50G ports; the QSFP+ transceiver
supports one 40G port or four 10G ports; the CWDM transceiver supports all five
configurations. Adjustments are made using speed
forcedcommands. Note: 7500 and 7280 families do not currently support 25G or 50G speeds.
-
The SFP-1G-T transceivers advertise one speed at a time only. Hence, the desired speed and negotiation must be configured explicitly using the following commands:
- speed auto: auto-negotiated 1Gbps (this is because no speed is specified and we are defaulting to advertise 1G).
- speed auto 1G full/ speed 1G: auto-negotiated 1Gbps (note that per BASE-T standard, 1G must be negotiated)
- speed auto 100full: auto-negotiated 100Mbps
- speed 100full: non-negotiated/true-forced 100Mbps
For information relating to transceivers, please see Transceivers.
Subinterfaces
Subinterfaces divide a single ethernet or port channel interface into multiple logical L3 interfaces based on the 802.1q tag (VLAN ID) of incoming traffic. Subinterfaces are commonly used in the L2/L3 boundary device, but they can also be used to isolate traffic with 802.1q tags between L3 peers by assigning each subinterface to a different VRF.
While subinterfaces can be configured on a port channel interface (the virtual interface associated with a port channel), the following restrictions apply:
- An L3 interface with subinterfaces configured on it should not be made a member of a port channel.
- An interface that is a member of a port channel should not have subinterfaces configured on it.
- A subinterface cannot be made a member of a port channel.
Subinterfaces on multiple ports can be assigned the same VLAN ID, but there is no bridging between subinterfaces (or between subinterfaces and SVIs), and each subinterface is considered to be in a separate bridge domain.
The following features are supported on subinterfaces:
- Unicast and multicast routing
- BGP, OSPF, ISIS, PIM
- ACL
- VRF
- VRRP
- SNMP
- Subinterface counters (on some platforms)
- VXLAN (on some platforms)
- MPLS (on some platforms)
- GRE (on some platforms)
- PBR (on some platforms)
- QoS (on some platforms)
- Inheriting QoS settings (trust mode and default DSCP) from the parent interface
- Inheriting MTU setting from parent interface
The following are not supported on subinterfaces:
- Per-subinterface MTU setting
- Per-subinterface SFLOW settings
- Per-subinterface mirroring settings
Agile Ports
Agile Ports are a feature of the 7150S Series that allows the user to configure adjacent blocks of 4 x SFP+ interfaces as a single 40G link. The set of interfaces that can be combined to form a higher speed port is restricted by the hardware configuration. Only interfaces that pass through a common PHY component can be combined. One interface within a combinable set is designated as the primary port.
When the primary interface is configured as a higher speed port, all configuration statements are performed on that interface. All other interfaces in the set are subsumed and not individually configurable when the primary interface is configured as the higher speed port. This feature allows the 7150S-24 to behave as a 4x40G switch (using 16 SFP+) and the remaining SFP+ provide 8 x 10Gports. On the 7150S-52 this allows up to 13x 40G (all 52 ports grouped as 40G) and on the 7150S-64 Agile Ports allows the switch to be deployed with up to 16 native 40G interfaces - 4 are QSFP+ and the remaining 12 as 4xSFP+ groups. section Agile Ports describes the configuration of agile ports.
Management Interfaces
The management interface is a layer 3 host port that is typically connected to a PC for performing out of band switch management tasks. Each switch has one or two management interfaces. Only one port is needed to manage the switch; the second port, when available, provides redundancy.
Management interfaces are 10/100/1000 BASE-T interfaces. By default, auto-negotiation is enabled on management interfaces. All combinations of speed 10/100/1000 and full or half duplex is enforceable on these interfaces through speed commands.
Management ports are enabled by default. The switch cannot route packets between management ports and network (Ethernet interface) ports because they are in separate routing domains. When the PC is multiple hops from the management port, packet exchanges through layer 3 devices between the management port and PC may require the enabling of routing protocols.
The Ethernet management ports are accessed remotely over a common network or locally through a directly connected PC. An IP address and static route to the default gateway must be configured to access the switch through a remote connection.
Tunable SFP
Tuning of DWDM 10G SFP+ transceivers (10GBASE-DWDM) includes:
- Tuning transceiver wavelength/frequency by channel number
- Showing wavelengths/frequencies for specified channels supported by the transceiver
- Showing current wavelength/frequency settings of the transceiver interface
For information relating to tuning the transceiver wavelength/frequency by channel number, refer to the command transceiver channel. To show the current wavelength/frequency settings for specified channels, refer to the command show interfaces transceiver channels. To show the current wavelength/frequency settings of an interface, refer to the command show interfaces transceiver hardware.

Physical Interface Configuration Modes
The switch provides two configuration modes for modifying Ethernet parameters:
- Interface-Ethernet mode configures parameters for specified Ethernet interfaces.
- Interface-Management mode configures parameters for specified management Ethernet interfaces.
Physical interfaces cannot be created or removed.
Multiple interfaces can be simultaneously configured. Commands are available for configuring Ethernet specific, layer 2, layer 3, and application layer parameters. Commands that modify protocol specific settings in Ethernet configuration mode are listed in the protocol chapters.
- The interface ethernet command places the switch in Ethernet-interface configuration mode.
- The interface management command places the switch in management configuration mode.
Examples
- This command places the switch
in Ethernet-interface mode for Ethernet interfaces
5-7 and
10.
switch(config)#interface ethernet 5-7,10 switch(config-if-Et5-7,10)#
- This command places the switch
in management-interface mode for management
interface
1.
switch(config)#interface management 1 switch(config-if-Ma1)#
Assigning a MAC Address to an Interface
Ethernet and Management interfaces are assigned a MAC address when manufactured. This address is the burn-in address. The mac-address command assigns a MAC address to the configuration mode interface in place of the burn-in address. The no mac-address command reverts the interfaces current MAC address to its burn-in address.
- This command assigns the MAC address of 001c.2804.17e1 to Ethernet interface 7.
switch(config-if-Et7)#mac-address 001c.2804.17e1
- This command displays the MAC address of Ethernet interface 7. The active
MAC address is 001c.2804.17e1. The burn-in
address is 001c.7312.02e2.
switch(config-if-Et7)#show interface ethernet 7 Ethernet7 is up, line protocol is up (connected) Hardware is Ethernet, address is 001c.2804.17e1 (bia 001c.7312.02e2) Description: b.e45 switch(config-if-Et7)#
Port Groups (QSFP+ and SFP+ Interface Selection)
Several of Aristas fixed switches limit the number of 10G data lanes in operation through the use of port groups. A port group is a set of interfaces that can be configured as four SFP+ interfaces or a single QSFP+ interface. When configured in SFP+ mode, the port group enables 4 standalone 10GbE interfaces using SFP+ optics. When configured in QSFP+ mode, the port group enables a single QSFP+ interface (in addition to the dedicated QSFP+ ports), which can operate as a single 40GbE port, or as four 10GbE ports with the appropriate breakout cabling.
Hardware port groups are used on the following systems:
- DCS-7050Q-16
- DCS-7050QX-32S
Use the hardware port-group command to select the interface mode for the specified port group.
Example
switch(config)#hardware port-group 1 select Et17-20
switch(config)#hardware port-group 2 select Et16/1-4
The show hardware port-group command displays the status of ports in the port groups.
Example

Referencing Modular Ports
Arista modular switches provide port access through installed line cards. The maximum number of line cards on a modular switch varies with the switch series and model.
Several CLI commands modify modular parameters for all ports on a specified line card or controlled by a specified chip. This manual uses these conventions to reference modular components:
- card_x refers to a line card.
- module_y refers to a QSFP+ module.
- port_z refers to a line card or module port.
Commands that display Ethernet port status use the following conventions:
- SFP ports: : card_x/port_z to label the line card-port location of modular ports
- QSFP ports: card_x/module_y/port_z to label the line card-port location of modular ports
QSFP+ Ethernet Port Configuration describe QSFP+ module usage.

Referencing Multi-lane Ports
eos supports two types of Ethernet ports:
- single-lane (also called fixed-lane)
- multi-lane (also called flexible-lane)
Single-lane (or fixed-lane) ports are always modeled as a single interface within eos. While the speed of the interface may be configurable, the physical port can never be broken out into multiple lower-speed interfaces. Single-lane ports use the following naming scheme:
- Ethernet <port #> (for fixed switches)
- Ethernet <module #>/<port #> (for modular switches)
Multi-lane (or flexible lane) ports are made up of multiple parallel lanes, each served by its own laser. Multi-lane ports can be configured to combine the lanes and operate as a single native high-speed interface (a 40GbE or 100GbE interface), or to operate each lower-speed interface independently (four 10GbE or 25GbE interfaces). Multi-lane ports use the following naming scheme:
- Ethernet <port #>/<lane #> (for fixed switches)
- Ethernet <module #>/<port #>/<lane #> (for modular switches)
The operational state displayed for each lane of a multi-lane port is determined by the configuration applied to the primary lane(s), as shown in Lane States. When broken out into multiple lower-speed interfaces, all lanes will be active in parallel, and each will display its operational state as connected or not connected. In high-speed mode, only the primary lane(s) will be displayed as active, with the remaining lanes showing as errdisabled. The exception is the CFP2 module: when it is configured as a single 100GbE port, the primary lane is displayed as active in the CLI while the other lanes are hidden.
Parent Port

Primary Lane(s) | Secondary Lanes |
single high-speed interface |
active (connected/not connected) |
inactive (errdisabled) |
multi-interface breakout |
active (connected/not connected) |
active (connected/not connected) |
A multi-lane port is configured as a single high-speed interface or multiple breakout interfaces by using the speed command on the primary lane(s) of the port. For specific configuration instructions and details regarding the primary lane(s) of a specific interface, refer to the configuration section for the appropriate interface type:
- QSFP+ Ethernet Port Configuration
- QSFP100 Ethernet Port Configuration
- CFP2 Ethernet Port Configuration
- MXP Ethernet Port Configuration
Note: Use of the speed command to configure a multi-lane port is hitless on the 7050X, 7060X, 7250X, 7260X, 7280SE, 7300X, 7320X and 7500E series platforms. On all other platforms, this command restarts the forwarding agent, which will result in traffic disruption. On 7160 series platforms, use of the speed command is hitless, but if the command changes the number of port lanes, packets may be dropped on unrelated ports.
QSFP+ Ethernet Port Configuration
Each QSFP+ module contains four data lanes which can be used individually or combined to form a single, higher-speed interface. This allows a QSFP+ Ethernet port to be configured as a single 40GbE interface or as four 10GbE interfaces.
When the four lanes are combined to form a 40GbE interface, display commands will show lane /1 as connected or not connected, and will show lanes /2 through /4 as errdisabled.
The following sections describe the configuration of QSFP+ ports.
Configuring a QSFP+ Module as a Single 40GbE Interface
To configure the port as a single 40GbE interface, combine the modules four data lanes by using the speed command (speed forced 40g full) on the ports /1 lane (the primary lane).
Configuring a QSFP+ Module as Four 10GbE Interfaces
To configure the port as four 10GbE interfaces, use the speed command (speed forced 10000full) on the ports /1 lane (the primary lane).
Use of the speed command to configure a multi-lane port is hitless on the 7050X, 7060X, 7250X, 7260X, 7280SE, 7300X, 7320X and 7500E series platforms. On all other platforms, this command restarts the forwarding agent, which will result in traffic disruption. On 7160 series platforms, use of the speed command is hitless, but if the command changes the number of port lanes, packets may be dropped on unrelated ports.
QSFP100 Ethernet Port Configuration
Each QSFP100 module contains four data lanes which can be used individually or combined to form a single, higher-speed interface. This allows a QSFP100 Ethernet port to be configured as a single 100GbE interface, a single 40GbE interface, or four 10GbE interfaces. The default mode is a single 100GbE interface.
The 7060X, 7260X and 7320X platforms also allow a QSFP100 port to be configured as two 50GbE interfaces or four 25GbE interfaces.
When the lanes are combined to form a higher-speed interface, display commands will show the primary lane(s) as connected or not connected, and will show the other lanes as errdisabled.
The following sections describe the configuration of QSFP+ ports.
Configuring a QSFP100 Module as a Single 100GbE Interface
By default, the QSFP100 module operates as a single 100GbE interface; using the default speed or no speed command on the primary lane restores the default behavior.
To explicitly configure the port as a single 100GbE interface, combine the modules four data lanes by using the speed command (speed forced 100gfull) on the ports /1 lane (the primary lane).
Use of the speed command to configure a multi-lane port is hitless on the 7050X, 7060X, 7250X, 7260X, 7280SE, 7300X, 7320X and 7500E series platforms. On all other platforms, this command restarts the forwarding agent, which will result in traffic disruption. On 7160 series platforms, use of the speed command is hitless, but if the command changes the number of port lanes, packets may be dropped on unrelated ports.
Configuring a QSFP100 Module as Two 50GbE Interfaces
To configure the port as a two 50GbE interfaces, configure the modules four data lanes by using the speed command (speed forced 50gfull) on the ports /1 and /3 lanes. This configuration is available on 7060X, 7260X and 7320X platforms.
Use of the speed command to configure a multi-lane port is hitless on the 7050X, 7060X, 7250X, 7260X, 7280SE, 7300X, 7320X and 7500E series platforms. On all other platforms, this command restarts the forwarding agent, which will result in traffic disruption. On 7160 series platforms, use of the speed command is hitless, but if the command changes the number of port lanes, packets may be dropped on unrelated ports.
Configuring a QSFP100 Module as a Single 40GbE Interface
To configure the port as a single 40GbE interface, combine the modules four data lanes by using the speed command (speed forced 40gfull) on the ports /1 lane (the primary lane).
Use of the speed command to configure a multi-lane port is hitless on the 7050X, 7060X, 7250X, 7260X, 7280SE, 7300X, 7320X and 7500E series platforms. On all other platforms, this command restarts the forwarding agent, which will result in traffic disruption. On 7160 series platforms, use of the speed command is hitless, but if the command changes the number of port lanes, packets may be dropped on unrelated ports.
Configuring a QSFP100 Module as Four 10GbE Interfaces
To configure the port as four 10GbE interfaces, use the speed command (speed forced 10000full) on the ports /1 lane (the primary lane).
Use of the speed command to configure a multi-lane port is hitless on the 7050X, 7060X, 7250X, 7260X, 7280SE, 7300X, 7320X and 7500E series platforms. On all other platforms, this command restarts the forwarding agent, which will result in traffic disruption. On 7160 series platforms, use of the speed command is hitless, but if the command changes the number of port lanes, packets may be dropped on unrelated ports.
CFP2 Ethernet Port Configuration
Each CFP2 module contains ten data lanes. The configuration options available on the port depend on the optic inserted:
- CFP2-100G-LR4 optics operate only in 100GbE mode.
- CF2-100G-ER4 optics operate only 100GbE mode.
- CFP2-100G-XSR10 optics can be configured as a single 100GbE interface or as ten 10GbE interfaces.
When the port is configured as ten 10GbE interface, each lane is active and visible in CLI display commands. When the lanes are combined to form a single 100GbE interface, display commands will show the primary lane as connected or not connected; all other lanes will be hidden.
The following sections describe the configuration of CFP2 ports.
Configuring a CFP2 Module a as a Single100GbE Interface
To configure the port as a single 100GbE interface (the default configuration), combine the modules ten data lanes by using the speed command (speed forced 100gfull) on the ports /1 lane (the primary lane).
This configuration is available for all pluggable optics.
Use of the speed command to configure a multi-lane port is hitless on the 7050X, 7060X, 7250X, 7260X, 7280SE, 7300X, 7320X and 7500E series platforms. On all other platforms, this command restarts the forwarding agent, which will result in traffic disruption. On 7160 series platforms, use of the speed command is hitless, but if the command changes the number of port lanes, packets may be dropped on unrelated ports.
Configuring a CFP2 Module as Ten 10GbE Interfaces
To configure the port as four 10GbE interfaces, use the speed command (speed forced 10000full) on the ports /1 lane (the primary lane).
This configuration is available only for CFP2-100G-XSR10 optics.
Use of the speed command to configure a multi-lane port is hitless on the 7050X, 7060X, 7250X, 7260X, 7280SE, 7300X, 7320X and 7500E series platforms. On all other platforms, this command restarts the forwarding agent, which will result in traffic disruption. On 7160 series platforms, use of the speed command is hitless, but if the command changes the number of port lanes, packets may be dropped on unrelated ports.
MXP Ethernet Port Configuration
Each MXP module contains twelve data lanes which can be used individually or combined to form one or more higher-speed interfaces. This allows an MXP Ethernet port to be configured as a single 100GbE interface, up to twelve 10GbE interfaces, or a mixture of 40GbE and 10GbE ports.
MXP ports do not use pluggable optics: instead, an MTP-24 ribbon is inserted directly into the port. The remote end of the MTP 24 ribbon must then be broken out using a splitter cable or cartridge based on the operational mode and speed of the MXP port.
When four lanes of an MXP interface are combined to form a 40GbE port, CLI commands will show the primary lane of that group as connected or not connected and the other three lanes as errdisabled.
The following sections describe the configuration of MXP interfaces.
Configuring an MXP Module as a Single 100GbE Interface
To configure the port as a single 100GbE interface (the default configuration), enter the speed command (speed forced 100gfull) on the ports /1 lane (the primary lane). This combines lanes 1-10 and disables lanes 11 and 12.
Under this configuration, CLI display commands will show lane /1 as connected or not connected, and show lanes /2-/12 as errdisabled.
Configuring an MXP Module With 40GbE Interfaces
Each set of four lanes on the MXP module is independently configurable as a single 40GbE interface or four 10GbE interfaces. To configure four lanes as a single 40GbE interface, enter the speed command (speed forced 40gfull) on the groups primary lane (/1, /5, or /9). To revert a group of four lanes to functioning as four independent 10GbE interfaces, enter the speed forced 10000full command on the primary lane of the group.
When four lanes of an MXP interface are combined to form a 40GbE port, CLI commands will show the primary lane of that group as connected or not connected and the other three lanes as errdisabled. In groups of four lanes which are configured as four independent 10GbE interfaces, each lane will be displayed in the CLI as connected or not connected.
Note that a speed forced 100gfull command entered on the /1 lane takes precedence over speed forced 40gfull commands on the /5 and /9 lanes.
Use of the speed command to configure a multi-lane port is hitless on the 7050X, 7060X, 7250X, 7260X, 7280SE, 7300X, 7320X and 7500E series platforms. On all other platforms, this command restarts the forwarding agent, which will result in traffic disruption. On 7160 series platforms, use of the speed command is hitless, but if the command changes the number of port lanes, packets may be dropped on unrelated ports.
The example below shows the steps for configuring an MXP module as three 40GbE interfaces.
Configuring an MXP Module as Twelve 10GbE Interfaces
Each lane of an MXP port functions as a 10GbE interface when it is not included in a higher-speed interface configuration (either actively or as an errdisabled port).
To explicitly configure the port as twelve 10GbE interfaces, use the speed command (speed forced 10000full) on all twelve lanes of the port.
When each lane is configured as an independent 10GbE interface, CLI display commands show each lane as connected or not connected.
Port Speed Capabilities
The supported speeds supported on each Arista platform per interface type are described in Supported Speeds (GbE).

Agile Ports
An agile port is an interface that can function as a 10G port or can subsume a predefined set of 10G interfaces to form an interface with higher speed capabilities.
The set of interfaces that can be combined to form a higher speed port is restricted by the hardware configuration. Only interfaces that pass through a common PHY component can be combined. One interface within a combinable set is designated as the primary port.
- To view the set of available agile ports and the subsumable interfaces that comprise them, enter show platform fm6000 agileport map.
- To configure the primary port as a higher speed port, enter speed forced 40gfull or speed auto 40gfull.
- To revert the primary port and its subsumed ports to 10G interfaces, enter no speed.
Subinterface Configuration
For a subinterface to be operational on an Ethernet or port channel interface, the parent interface must be configured as a routed port and be administratively up, and a VLAN must be configured on the subinterface. If the parent interface goes down, all subinterfaces automatically go down as well, but will come back up with the same configuration once the parent interface is up.
Note that a port channel should not contain Ethernet interfaces with subinterfaces configured on them, and that subinterfaces cannot be members of a port channel.
Subinterfaces are named by adding a period followed by a unique subinterface number to the name of the parent interface. Note that the subinterface number has no relation to the ID of the VLAN corresponding to the subinterface.
Subinterfaces are available on the following platforms:
- DCS-7050X
- DCS-7060X
- DCS-7250X
- DCS-7260X
- DCS-7280E
- DCS-7300X
- DCS-7320X
- DCS-7500E
Creating a Subinterface
To create a subinterface on an Ethernet or port channel interface:
Creating a Range of Subinterfaces
A range of subinterfaces can also be configured simultaneously. The following example configures subinterfaces 1 to 100 on Ethernet interface 1/1, and assigns VLANs 501 through 600 to them. Note that the range of interfaces must be the same size as the range of VLAN IDs.
Example
switch(config)#interface eth1/1.1-100
switch(config-if-Et1/1.1-100)#no shutdown
switch(config-if-Et1/1.1-100)#encapsulation dot1q vlan {501,600}
switch(config-if-Et1/1.1-100)#exit
switch(config)#
Parent Interface Configuration
For subinterfaces to function, the parent interface must be administratively up and configured as a routed port.
Some settings are inherited by subinterfaces from the parent interface. These include QoS (trust mode and default DSCP) and MTU.
Additionally, on the DCS-7050X, DCS-7250X, and DCS-7300X platforms, the parent interface may be configured with an IP address. In this case, untagged packets are treated as incoming traffic on the parent interface
Configuring Routing Features on a Subinterface
Once a subinterface is created, the following features can be configured on it:
- Unicast and multicast routing
- BGP, OSPF, ISIS, PIM
- VRF
- VRRP
- SNMP
- Inheritance of QoS (trust mode and default DSCP) and MTU settings from the parent interface
Additionally, these features can be configured on subinterfaces on Arad (DCS-7500E and DCS-7280E) platforms:
- Subinterface counters on ingress
- VXLAN
- MPLS
- GRE
- PBR
- QoS
Displaying Subinterface Information
Subinterface information is displayed using the same show commands as for other interfaces.
- This command displays summary information for all IP interfaces on the switch, including subinterfaces.

Autonegotiated Settings
In autonegotiation, the transmission speed, duplex setting, and flow control parameters used for Ethernet-based communication can be automatically negotiated between connected devices to establish optimized common settings.
Speed and Duplex
Thespeed command affects the transmission speed and duplex setting for the configuration mode interface. When a speed forced command is in effect on an interface, autonegotiation of speed and duplex settings is disabled for the interface; to enable autonegotiation, use the speed auto command.
The scope and effect of the speed command depends on the interface type; see Ethernet Interfaces and Ethernet Configuration Procedures for detailed information on the speed settings for different interfaces.
Flow Control
Flow control is a data transmission option that temporarily stops a device from sending data because of a peer data overflow condition. If a device sends data faster than the receiver can accept it, the receiver's buffer can overflow. The receiving device then sends a PAUSE frame, instructing the sending device to halt transmission for a specified period.
Flow control commands configure administrative settings for flow control packets.
-
The flowcontrol receive command configures the port's ability to receive flow control pause frames.
- off: port does not process pause frames that it receives.
- on: port processes pause frames that it receives.
- desired: port autonegotiates; processes pause frames if peer is set to send or desired.
-
The flowcontrol send command configures the port's ability to transmit flow control pause frames.
- off: port does not send pause frames.
- on: port sends pause frames.
- desired: port autonegotiates; sends pause frames if peer is set to receive or desired.
Desired is not an available parameter option. Ethernet data ports cannot be set to desired. Management ports are set to desired by default and with the no flowcontrol receive command.
The port linking process includes flow control negotiation. Ports must have compatible flow control settings to create a link. Compatible Settings for Flow Control Negotiation lists the compatible flow control settings.
local port | peer port |

receive off | send off or send desired |
receive desired | send on , send off, or send desired |

Ingress Counters
The Ingress counters enables the switch to count the ingress traffic on the Layer 3 ports of the switch.
Any ingress traffic on Layer 3 sub-interfaces and VLAN interface with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are accounted irrespective of the routing decision. The VLAN counters are supported on DCS- 7050x, DCS-7250x, and DCS-7300x series switches and not supported on any routed ports.
Configuring Ingress Counters
The hardware counter feature in command enables the switch to count the ingress traffic on the Layer 3 port of the switch. Any traffic on Layer 3 sub-interfaces and VLAN interface with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are accounted irrespective of the routing decision.
Examples
- This command configures the ingress traffic count on the sub-interfaces. The no
form of the command disable the counter configuration from the switch

configured.
switch(config)#hardware tcam profile tc-counters
Configuring Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is enabled by default on all Ethernet ports of PoE-capable switches, and the switch will detect IEEE-compliant powered devices (PDs) when they are plugged into a port and supply power appropriately.
Limitations
- Ethernet ports will not detect non IEEE-compliant devices by default, and may not be able to detect or power them even if configured to do so.
- If attached PDs overload the switch, it will power off. This can occur when an attached PD increases its power demand via lldp, when too many PDs are connected to the switch, or when a power supply fails on a heavily loaded dual-supply switch.
- Power-cycling the switch will cause temporary loss of power to attached PDs.
- PoE is not available on management interfaces.
Disabling PoE on an Interface
On switches which support PoE, it is enabled by default on all Ethernet ports but can be disabled per-port with the poe disabled command.
Example
- These commands disable PoE on
Ethernet interface
5.
switch(config)#interface ethernet 5 switch(config-if-Et5)#poe disabled switch(config-if-Et5)#
PoE Power Settings
When an IEEE-compliant powered device (PD) is connected to a PoE-enabled Ethernet port, it is recognized by a specific resistor signature, and its initial power needs are determined by hardware negotiation, after which further negotiation is managed through the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (lldp). For details, see Configuring lldp for Power over Ethernet.
PoE power output can be limited on a port using the poe limit command. The power limit represents the power output at the Ethernet port; actual power delivered to the PD will be lower due to power loss along the Ethernet cable.
Examples
- These commands limit nominal
PoE power output on Ethernet interface 5 to 10
W.
switch(config)#interface ethernet 5 switch(config-if-Et5)#poe limit 10 watts switch(config-if-Et5)#
- These commands limit nominal
PoE power output on Ethernet interface 7 to 4 W.
switch(config)#interface ethernet 7 switch(config-if-Et7)#poe limit class 1 switch(config-if-Et7)#
Detecting Legacy PDs
IEEE-compliant powered devices (PDs) are recognized by a specific resistance signature to a test signal sent by the switch, but non-compliant (legacy or proprietary) PDs may use a capacitive signature instead. By default, legacy PD detection is disabled, and legacy devices are not powered.
To configure an interface to use hardware detection for these non-compliant PoE devices and attempt to power them, use the poe legacy detect command.
Example
switch(config)#interface ethernet 5
switch(config-if-Et5)#poe legacy detect
switch(config-if-Et5)#
Displaying PoE Information
To display PoE information for a specific interface range or for all Ethernet interfaces, use the show poe command.
Example
switch(config)#show poe interface ethernet 46
show poe interface ethernet 46

Configuring Link Fault Signaling
As part of the Link Fault Signaling (LFS) configuration, a new configuration mode called the EOAM (Ethernet operations administration & management) mode is introduced. The EOAM profile has a link-error sub-mode wherein the threshold, action, and the period is configured for both FCS and Symbol errors. The period can be in seconds or in number of frames. The default values are threshold 0, action syslog, and period 0 seconds. If the errors exceed the threshold within the given period, the configured action is executed. The recovery time configures the recovery timeout value for link fault signaling. Only one EOAM profile is associated with a port.
The following steps enable configuring the LFS parameters:
Configuring Hardware TCAM
TCAM (ternary content-addressable memory) is a specialized type of high-speed memory that increase the speed of route look-up, packet classification, packet forwarding and access control list-based commands. The hardware tcam command is used to configure and place the switch in the TCAM mode. In this mode the user can configure few TCAM related commands such as feature, profile and system.
In the TCAM mode the feature command is used to configure the reservation of TCAM banks for the features like ACL, IPsec, flow-spec, l2-protocol, PBR, QoS, TCP-MSS-ceiling, traffic-policy. The profile command configures a new TCAM profile, or just copy the TCAM profile which is already created using the hardware tcam profile command such as default, mirroring-acl, pbr-match-nexthop-group, qos, tap-aggregation-default, tap-aggregation-extended, tc-counters, test, vxlan-routing. Similarly, the system command configures the system-wide TCAM profiles.
Examples
- This command places the switch in Hardware TCAM configuration
mode.
switch(config)#hardware tcam switch(config-hw-tcam)#
These are the commands allowed to configure in Hardware TCAM mode.
- This commands allow the switch to configure the TCAM
feature.
switch(config)#hardware tcam switch(config-hw-tcam)#feature

flowcontrol receive
The flowcontrol receive command configures administrative settings for inbound flowcontrol packets. Ethernet ports use flow control to delay packet transmission when port buffers run out of space. Ports transmit a pause frame when their buffers are full, signaling their peer ports to delay sending packets for a specified period.
The flowcontrol receive command configures the configuration mode port's ability to receive flowcontrol pause frames.
- off: port does not process pause frames that it receives.
- on: port processes pause frames that it receives.
- desired: port autonegotiates flow control; processes pause frames if the peer is set to send desired.
Desired is not an available parameter option. Ethernet data ports cannot be set to desired. Management ports are set to desired by default and with the no flowcontrol receive command.
The port linking process includes flow control negotiation. Ports must have compatible flow control settings to create a link. The table below lists the compatible flow control settings.
local port | peer port |
---|---|
receive on | send on or send desired |
receive off | send off or send desired |
receive desired | send on , send off, or send desired |
The no flowcontrol receive and default flowcontrol receive commands restore the default flowcontrol setting for the configuration mode interface by removing the corresponding flowcontrol receive command from running-config. The default setting is off for Ethernet data ports and desired for Management ports.

poe legacy detect
IEEE-compliant powered devices (PDs) are recognized by a specific resistance signature to a test signal sent by the switch, but non-compliant (legacy or proprietary) PDs may use a capacitive signature instead. The poe legacy detect command causes the configuration-mode interface to attempt to use hardware detection for these non-compliant PoE devices and power them. By default, legacy PD detection is disabled, and legacy devices are not powered.
Non IEEE-compliant PDs are not officially supported. Arista cannot guarantee compatibility with such devices, and they may not be detected even when legacy detection is enabled on the port they are connected to.
The no poe legacy detect and default poe legacy detect commands restore the default behavior by removing the corresponding poe legacy detect command from running-config.

poe limit
Power over Ethernet (PoE) power output is limited by the hardware-negotiated power level and by the total power capacity of the switch. The poe limit command sets an additional maximum power output for the configuration-mode interface. The power limit represents the power output at the Ethernet port; actual power delivered to the PD will be lower due to power loss along the Ethernet cable.
If a power limit is set by this command, Power Via MDI TLVs will not be sent from the interface. See Configuring lldp for Power over Ethernet for details.
The no poe limit and default poe limit commands restore the default power limitation by removing the corresponding poe limit command from running-config.

speed
The speed command configures the transmission speed and duplex setting for the configuration mode interface. The scope and effect of this command depends on the interface type. Interface types include:
- 40GBASE (QSFP+): Default is 4x10G-full. Speed forced 40gfull and Speed auto 40gfull configure interface as a 40G port.
- 10GBASE-T: Default is 10G-full. Speed command affects interface.
- 10GBASE (SFP+): Default is 10G-full. Speed command does not affect interface.
- 1000BASE (copper): Default is 1G-full. speed auto 100full affects interface.
- 1000BASE (fiber): Default is 1G-full. Speed command does not affect interface.
- 10/100/1000: Default is auto-negotiation. Speed command (10/100/1000 options) affects interface.
The speed forced 40gfull and auto 40gfull commands configure a QSFP+ Ethernet interface as a 40G port. The no speed and no auto 40gfull commands configure a QSFP+ Ethernet interface as four 10G ports. These commands must be applied to the /1 port. These commands are hitless on the 7050X, 7060X, 7250X, 7260X, 7280SE, 7300X, 7320X and 7500E series platforms. On all other platforms, these commands restart the forwarding agent, which will result in traffic disruption.
The no speed and default speed commands restore the default setting for the configuration mode interface by removing the corresponding speed command from running-config.

Note:Interfaces using clause 73 auto negotiation must connect to a device that runs clause 73 auto negotiation.

- forced 10full 10M full duplex.
- forced 10half10M half duplex.
- forced 40gfull 40G full duplex.
On 40GBASE and 100GBASE interfaces, options that change the SFP+ and MXP interfaces (the auto 40gfull, the forced 40gfull, and the no speed options) may restart the forwarding agent on some switch platforms, disrupting traffic on all ports for more than a minute.
The SFP-1G-T transceivers advertise one speed at a time only. Hence, the desired speed and negotiation must be configured explicitly using the speed auto, speed auto 1G full/ speed 1G, speed auto 100full, and speed 100full commands.
- This command configures a 40GBASE interface as a 40G
port.

system
The system command allows the user to configure the system-wide TCAM profiles such as default, mirroring-acl, mpls-evpn, pbr-match-nexthop-group, qos, tap-aggregation-default, tap-aggregation-extended, tc-counters, test, vxlan-routing.
The exit command returns the switch to global configuration mode.

threshold
The threshold command configures the link monitoring threshold value that is specified for a link error.
The no threshold and the default threshold commands remove the threshold value specified for the chosen link error.
Link-error Configuration

no {fcs | symbol} threshold threshold_value
default {fcs | symbol} threshold threshold_value
- fcs Inbound packets withFrame check sequence (FCS) error.
- symbol Inbound packets with symbol error.
- threshold_value Specifies the threshold value in number of errors. The value ranges from 1 to 100.
- These commands set the threshold value of 20 for the profile
profile1 in the Link-error configuration
mode.

transceiver channel
The transceiver channel command displays transceiver wavelength/frequency by channel number. The channel numbering depends on the selected grid-spacing mode. The default grid-spacing mode is 50GHz-spacing.
- If the startup configuration does not specify the channel number for the interface, the transceiver will automatically tune to the default channel (i.e. channel-39 of 50GHz-spacing grid) when it is inserted.
- If the configured wavelength/frequency is not supported by the transceiver, the transceiver will be tuned to the default channel (i.e. channel-39 of 50GHz-spacing grid).
The interface is shutdown before the channel number is configured.
Global Configuration
transceiver channel CHANNEL_NUMBER grid-spacing <SPACING_GRID>
no transceiver channel CHANNEL_NUMBER grid-spacing <SPACING_GRID>
default transceiver channel CHANNEL_NUMBER grid-spacing <SPACING_GRID>
- CHANNEL-NUMBER The default channel is 39 (50GHz-spacing grid) which corresponds to a frequency of 193,100 GHz and a wavelength of 1552.52 nm.
- GRID_SPACING Grid-spacing mode (optional) depends
on the selected grid-spacing mode. The default grid-spacing mode is
50GHz-spacing. For example, channel 39 of 50GHz-spacing grid is equivalent
to channel 20 of 100GHz-spacing grid, which corresponds to a frequency of
193,100 GHz and a wavelength of 1552.52 nm.
-
<SPACING_GRID> default grid-spacing mode in GHz.

- This command tunes the transceiver on slot number 4 to slot 1
through 3 of 50GHz-spacing
grid.

transceiver qsfp default-mode
The transceiver qsfp default-mode command specifies the transmission mode of all QSFP transceiver modules that are not explicitly configured.
Each QSFP+ module Ethernet interface is configurable as a single 40G port or as four 10G ports. The switch displays four ports for each interface. Each ports status depends on the interface configuration:
- The /1 port is active (connected or not connected), regardless of the interface configuration.
- The /2, /3, and /4 ports are error-disabled when the interface is configured as a single 40G port.
- all ports are active (connected or not connected), when the interface is configured as four 10G ports.
The only available default-mode value is 4x10G; QSFP modules that are not configured through a speed command are operated as four 10G ports.
The no transceiver qsfp default-mode and default transceiver qsfp default-mode commands restore the default-mode transceiver setting to its default value of 4x10G.
Global Configuration
transceiver qsfp default-mode 4x10G
no transceiver qsfp default-mode
default transceiver qsfp default-mode
The transceiver qsfp default-mode 4x10g statement is always in running-config and cannot be modified or removed in the current release.
