This feature detects whether a given EOS image is MLAG ISSU compatible with the currently running version on a switch.

BFD for static routes enables monitoring of directly connected next hop reachability using a BFD session. This is

This document describes BFD RFC7130 mode on EOS. RFC7130 defines a mechanism to run BFD protocol over port channels with an independent asynchronous BFD session on every port channel member link. With RFC7130 support, the port channel member link will be removed from forwarding if the BFD session state transitions from UP to DOWN on the member link. This is useful for quickly detecting failures where L1 stays connected but the interface is unable to forward traffic.

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.

DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation support enables a DHCP relay agent to program routes for addresses assigned by a DHCP server. The assigned prefixes could either be DHCPv6 IA_PD prefix delegation addresses, or DHCPv6 IA_NA global /128 addresses.

This feature allows eAPI to run in multiple non default VRFs on the same physical router. In this way, users can

EOS 4.20.1F introduces expanded VRRP, VARP and MLAG Peer Gateway virtual MAC capabilities on the 7500R, 7280R,

Ethernet VPN (EVPN) is an extension of the BGP protocol introducing a new address family: L2VPN (address family number 25) / EVPN (subsequent address family number 70). It is used to exchange overlay MAC and IP address reachability information between BGP peers within a tunnel

In the traditional data center design, inter-subnet forwarding is provided by a centralized router, where traffic traverses across the network to a centralized routing node and back again to its final destination. In a large multi-tenant data center environment this operational model can lead to inefficient use of bandwidth and sub-optimal forwarding.

MPLSoGRE Filtered Mirroring is a specialized version of Mirroring to GRE Tunnel and Filtered Mirroring in which

Hardware Table Capacity Monitoring is a new feature to keep track of the capacity and utilization of various hardware forwarding resources and generate alerts/syslogs when the utilization exceeds a threshold value. Users can keep track of the current usage statistics using a single show command, and also configure thresholds on a per-resource basis, to be notified about any high-utilization upfront, before reaching any resource limits. The Main use-case would be for troubleshooting in overflow situations and avoid overflows altogether by taking corrective actions on high utilization.

PIM Static Source Discovery (SSD) is a feature implemented as part of PIM-SM. Familiarity with setting up and configuring PIM-SM (Sparse Mode) and PIM-SSM (Source-Specific Multicast) is assumed.

Traffic is managed through policy maps that apply data shaping methods to specific data streams. A policy map is a data

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 feature adds support for "sequential" processing of route-map 'set ext/community' clauses. This feature is enabled via a configuration knob and there is no change in behavior without enabling this knob. The default route-map processing behavior can be summarized as "add then delete".
