This feature allows failover to the backup path to occur in constant time per interface going down for features such as RSVP link protection, RSVP node protection, TI-LFA link protection, and BGP PIC. Without this feature enabled, it would take time proportional to the number of paths going over the interface experiencing the link down event to failover to the backup path. With this feature enabled, the failover time would be constant regardless of the number of paths.

Class based forwarding (CBF) is a means for steering network traffic into colored tunnels based on one or more fields of the ingress traffic. Rephrased, CBF is forwarding of traffic based on “classes” which are derived from fields in the ingress packet headers and policies provisioned on the router.

Class Based Forwarding (CBF) provides a means for forwarding traffic through selected tunnels based on the traffic class of the incoming packet. Starting 4.32.2F CBF supports forwarding MPLS labeled traffic based on the EXP value in the incoming packet or the internal traffic class (TC) resolved from the parameters of the packet (e.g TC derived from EXP bits combined with port trust mode). Here, EXP bits refer to the Experimental bits in the MPLS header.

Arista CloudEOS provides optimized routing and security functionality by connecting different enterprise branches, DCs and head office across different geographical regions, zones and sites. It uses traffic engineering to leverage the best paths across a bunch of Dynamic Path Selection( DPS ) tunnels which are used to carry the overlay data traffic. It uses the concept of AVT( Adaptive Virtual Topology) to map any given VRF traffic into a specific subsets of traffic each of which is treated uniformly for the routing/security perspective.

Common Management Interface Specification (CMIS) defines, starting with revision 4.0, a standard mechanism for managing the firmware of compliant transceivers. This mechanism allows for transceivers’ firmware to be updated without having to remove the transceiver from the switch. Firmware updates may be necessary in a testing or production environment to resolve potential firmware bugs. Some transceivers may also support firmware management operations in a hitless manner (without impacting traffic).

Sand platform switches have eight queues, 0 through 7, and all queues are exposed through the CLI. However, queue 7 is not user-configurable. Queue 7 is always mapped to traffic class 7, which is reserved for control plane traffic. This feature allows tx-queue 7 to be configurable. As of 4.33.0F, a limited set of features are configurable on tx-queue 7.

The RADIUS server can dynamically generate VLANS for clients and send the VLAN to the access point (AP) when the client connects. This eliminates the need to manually configure all the dynamic VLANS in the SSID and Device settings. When Dynamic VLAN is enabled, network administrators do not have to configure the VLANs in SSID Settings; they are created dynamically on the AP.
