Hotspot 2.0 is a standard for public-access Wi-Fi that enables seamless roaming among Wi-Fi networks and between Wi-Fi and cellular networks. With Hotspot 2.0, Passpoint-certified mobile devices such as laptops and smartphones can automatically discover and connect to Wi-Fi networks without the need of signing in manually. It is based on IEEE 802.11u standard for Interworking with External Networks. 

With the 15.0 release, CloudVision Cognitive Unified Edge(CV-CUE) provides you the ability to list down Vulnerable SSIDs and Hotspot SSIDs. CV-CUE takes action on the listed SSIDs according to the applied WIPS policy. 

External controllers can communicate with HSC (Hardware Switch Controller) running on CVX/EOS using the OVSDB

Arista switches enable high precision time distribution directly in the data path using IEEE1588 Precision Time

IGMP Snooping Proxy feature is an optimization over IGMP snooping. When IGMP Snooping Proxy is enabled, the switch

You can import Ekahau floor plans to CloudVision Cognitive Unified Edge (CV-CUE) and then manage the access points (AP) from CV-CUE. Once you import the floor plan to CV-CUE, you can map the AP to CV-CUE and start managing the AP.

Incoming LACPDU Rate Limit on Arista switches allows for errdisabling of ports experiencing a sustained rate of

With the 14.0 release, CV-CUE introduces an Infrastructure Dashboard that provides an overview of the health of all managed access points (APs).You can view the Infrastructure Dashboard by navigating to

On DCS 7048, DCS 7280E, DCS 7500 and DCS 7500E, prior to EOS 4.14.5, multicast traffic using ingress replication would

The feature enables support for displaying per traffic class counters on ingress interfaces. The feature is

The Inner IP hashing for MPLSoGRE feature enabled hashing of inner IP source/destination address. With this

The DCS 7280E and DCS 7500E platforms are virtual output queue (VOQ) based architectures where there is a VOQ for all

You can use the Access Interface Configuration quick action to assign configuration profiles to devices. The guided workflow will display an illustration of device front panels, which you can use to select interfaces from.

One of the reasons why Wi-Fi clients encounter RF issues is non-Wi-Fi interference. All Wi-Fi 6 and above APs can perform interference classification. CloudVision Cognitive Unified Edge (CV-CUE) classifies interference into four categories — Wi-Fi, Microwave Oven (MWO), Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS), and Continuous Wave (CW).

With this feature, Arista 7050 and 7050X series of switches can now decapsulate IP in IP tunneled packets.

Similar to L4 ports, ACL rules can be configured to filter ingress packets based on their IP length (present in the IPv4

IP Source Guard (IPSG) is a security feature that can help prevent IP spoofing attacks. It filters inbound IP packets

With this feature, IP packets matching a static Nexthop Group route can be encapsulated within an IP in IP tunnel and

This feature enables dataplane forwarding of IPv4 traffic on interfaces that are not IPv4 address enabled, but only

IPv4 routes of certain prefix lengths can be optimized for enhanced route scale on 7500E, 7280E, 7500R and 7280R

As of EOS 4.15.0F, VRRP is supported in a VRF context. Virtual IP addresses can be reused in different VRF contexts,

IPv6 access lists can be used to filter IPv6 network traffic. Starting EOS 4.15.0F release, we have added support

IPv6 egress ACLs applied to routed interfaces across the same chip on the DCS 7500E and the DCS 7280E series can be

Arista switches use the hashing algorithm to load balance traffic among LAG (Link Aggregation Group) members

The IPv6 Neighbor Discovery protocol performs Neighbor Unreachability Detection (NUD) in order to determine if two

Nexthop groups in EOS currently only support IPv4 entries and only IPv4 routes can point to nexthop groups. This

Policy-Based Routing (PBR) provides the flexibility of routing according to custom-defined policies

With this, IPv6 routes can be configured pointing to a static Nexthop group of 2 types:. Type

IPv6 Router Advertisement Consistency Logging, when enabled, allows for notification through syslogging of

This feature adds IPv6 VRF support to Open Shortest Path First(OSPF) Protocol version 3. It allows for OSPFv3

EOS 4.15.0F is introducing support of IPv6 management capabilities inside a VRF. This means existing management

This feature adds the support for IPv6 unicast in a VRF context in EOS. This entails static routing and dynamic

IS IS adjacency uptime describes the uptime or downtime of neighbors since the last state change.

Bidirectional Forwarding Detection(BFD) is a low overhead protocol designed to provide rapid detection of

The difference between the two forms of authentication is in the level of security provided. In case of clear text authentication, the password is specified as text in the authentication TLV, making it possible for an attacker to break the authentication by sniffing and capturing IS-IS PDUs on the network.

IS IS Graceful Restart adds support for Restart Signaling for IS IS, IETF RFC 5306. When IS IS is used

By default if there's a hostname configured on the switch, it is used as the IS IS hostname. It is also possible to

An IS IS router can be configured as Level 1 2 which can form adjacencies and exchange routing information with both

IS IS Multi Topology support enables an IS IS router to compute a separate topology for IPv4 and IPv6 links in the

This feature enables an Arista switch to run the IS IS routing protocol over a tunnel interface to another IS IS

Segment Routing provides mechanism to define end-to-end paths within a topology by encoding paths as sequences of sub-paths or instructions. These sub-paths or instructions are referred to as “segments”. IS-IS Segment Routing (henceforth referred to as IS-IS SR) provides means to advertise such segments through IS-IS protocol.

Level 1 2 routers set attached bit in their Level 1 LSPs to indicate their reachability to the rest of the network. A

SPF Timers can be used in IS-IS to throttle the frequency of shortest-path-first (SPF) computations. In networks with a lot of churn, using these timers will help in containing the effect of network disruptions arising out of frequent SPF runs.
