Match rules define the specific traffic forwarded through the fabric. These criteria are applied directly within a policy, as part of a rule within a referenced rule group, or as a post-service match in a managed service. Each rule specifies parameters such as IP addresses, protocols, and ports. This update introduces expanded matching capabilities and removes previous restrictions regarding the combination of match criteria, allowing for more granular traffic steering.

At a high level, L1 profiles are a set of configurations which allow EOS users to change the numbering scheme and default L1 configurations of all front panel interfaces across their network switch. On Arista network switches, front panel transceiver cages are exposed as ports which are numbered sequentially: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. These identifiers are usually marked on the front panel to allow for easier identification.
