Maintenance mode with sub interfaces is an extension to the maintenance mode feature released in EOS 4 15 2F. With this

A server cluster or a cluster is a group of Wireless Manager (WM) servers. A cluster comprises a parent WM server and one or more child WM servers.  A cluster is created to manage multiple servers using a single server.

Currently, the 'maximum routes' knob allows one to set an upper bound on the number of routes that can be received from a

Media Access Control Security (MACSec) is an industry standard encryption mechanism to protect all traffic flowing

Arista switches provide several mirroring features. Filtered mirroring to CPU adds a special destination to the mirroring features that allows the mirrored traffic to be sent to the switch supervisor. The traffic can then be monitored and analyzed locally without the need of a remote port analyzer. Use case of this feature is for debugging and troubleshooting purposes.

In an MLAG setup, routing on a switch (MLAG peer) is possible using its own bridge/system MAC, VARP MAC or VRRP MAC.

MLAG currently checks for basic MLAG configuration to be consistent (e.g. domain id) before formation with the peer.

When MLAG peer link goes down, the secondary peer assumes the primary peer is down/dead, and takes over the primary

In an MLAG setup, periodic TCP/UDP heartbeats are sent over peer link to ensure IP connectivity between peers. Prior

If an MLAG flaps on one peer, then we may have to remap the MAC addresses learned, such that the reachability is via the

EOS 4.15.0F adds support for MPLS encapsulation of IP packets in EOS. The functionality is exposed through two

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a networking process that replaces complete network addresses with short

MPLS-over-GRE encapsulation support in EOS 4.17.0 enables tunneling IPv4 packets over MPLS over GRE tunnels. This feature leverages next-hop group support in EOS. With this feature, IPv4 routes may be resolved via MPLS-over-GRE next-hop group to be able to push one MPLS label and then GRE encapsulate the resulting labelled IPv4 packet before sending out of the egress interface.

This feature allows the Arista switch to act as the tunnel head for an MPLS tunnel and is exposed through two

The NAT Application Gateway (ALG) feature allows FTP connections between client server to be translated using

NAT Peer State Synchronization feature provides redundancy and resiliency for Dynamic NAT across a pair of devices in an attempt to mitigate the risk of single NAT device failure. Each switch advertises connection state updates to its peer.  State update consists of connection creation, connection state change (TCP mostly) or connection tear down

In the 13.0 release, CloudVision Cognitive Unified Edge (CV-CUE) adds a new report and also includes some enhancements to existing reports.

The nexthop group feature allows users to manually configure a set of tunnels. Nexthop group counters provide the ability to count packets and bytes associated with each tunnel nexthop, irrespective of the number of times it appears in one or more nexthop groups. In other words, if a nexthop group entry shares a tunnel resource with another entry, they will also share the same counter.

Nexthop selection using GRE key allows for nexthop routing selection based on the GRE key of a GRE encapsulated IP

Nexthop group match in PBR policy enables the user to match incoming packets being routed to a specified nexthop group

With the 15.0.1 release, CV-CUE extends the wired configuration and monitoring capabilities. You can now onboard switches (710P, 720XP, 720DP) to CV-CUE. You can also configure switches and manage switch-related settings directly from the UI.

With the 14.0 release, you can integrate OpenID Connect with a captive portal for authentication. The OpenID Connect integration functionality is available only for captive portals hosted on the Arista Cloud. It is not available if the captive portal is hosted on third-party servers or on the access point.
