This TOI supplements the Ingress Traffic Policy applied on ingress port interfaces. Please refer to that document for a description of Traffic Policies and field-sets. This TOI explains the Traffic Policies as applied in the ingress direction on VLAN interfaces. For Traffic Policies on the egress direction of VLAN interfaces, see the Egress Traffic Policy TOI.

EOS 4.21.3F introduces support for BGP Flowspec, as defined in RFC5575 and RFC7674. The typical use case is to filter or redirect DDoS traffic on edge routers.

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.

This feature introduces hardware forwarding support for IPv4-over-IPv4 GRE tunnel interfaces on selected Arista

gRIBI (gRPC Routing Information Base Interface) defines an interface through which OpenConfig AFT (Abstract Forwarding Table) entries can be injected from an external client to a network element.

This feature adds support for offloading BFD Transmit path to hardware (ASIC) for specific types of BFD sessions. This will improve accuracy of transmit timer implementations for BFD (especially with fast timers like 50 ms) and relieve pressure on the main CPU in scenarios of scale.

This feature adds support for offloading BFD Transmit path to hardware (ASIC) for specific types of BFD sessions.

Hardware counter feature allows enabling counters for features using programmable hardware counter resources. This feature can be used to count the following feature specific counters.

Arista campus switches allow extensive and fine grained hardware based flow tracking and management features. They

IP Locking is an EOS feature configured on an Ethernet Layer 2 port.  When enabled, it ensures that a port will only permit IP and ARP packets with IP source addresses that have been authorized. As of EOS-4.25.0F release update, IP Locking can run in two modes - IPv4 Locking (which will be referred to as IP Locking) and IPv6 Locking, which can be configured using the commands mentioned in the below sections. IP Locking prevents another host on a different interface from claiming ownership of an IP address through either IP or ARP spoofing.

The document describes an extension of the decap group feature, that allows IPv6 addresses to be configured and used

The document describes an extension of the decap group feature, that allows IPv6 addresses to be configured and used as part of a group. IP-in-IP packets with v6 destination matching a configured decap group IP will be decapsulated and forwarded based on the inner header. That will allow any IP-to-IP packet type to be decapsulated, i.e. IPv4 in IPv4, IPv4 in IPv6, IPv6 in IPv4 and IPv6 in IPv6.

RSVP-TE applies the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) for Traffic Engineering (TE), i.e., to distribute MPLS labels for steering traffic and reserving bandwidth.

This feature adds support for static inter-VRF routes. This enables configuration of routes to destinations in one ingress VRF with an ability to specify a next-hop in a different egress VRF through a static configuration.

Enforces the MTU for Layer 3 packets on 7280R3/7500R3/7800R3 switches. The MTU can be set on any SVI and the MTU of that specific SVI is enforced when the packets egress out of a trunk port. This behavior is not supported on 7280E/R/R2 and 7500E/R/R2 line cards.
