The L2 EVPN MPLS feature is available when configuring BGP in the multi-agent routing protocol model. 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.

EVPN MPLS VPWS (RFC 8214) provides the ability to forward customer traffic to / from a given attachment circuit (AC) without any MAC lookup / learning. The basic advantage of VPWS over an L2 EVPN is the reduced control plane signalling due to not exchanging MAC address information. In contrast to LDP pseudowires, EVPN MPLS VPWS uses BGP for signalling. Port based and VLAN based services are supported.

EOS supports the ability to match on a single VLAN tag (example: encapsulation dot1q vlan 10) or a VLAN tag pair (example: encapsulation dot1q vlan 10 inner 20) to map matching packets to an interface. In this case, the encapsulation string is considered consumed by the mapped interface before forwarding, which means that the tags are effectively removed from the incoming packet for the purposes of any downstream forwarding.

EOS-4.24.0 adds support for hardware-accelerated sFlow on R3 systems. Without hardware acceleration, all sFlow processing is done in software, which means performance is heavily dependent on the capabilities of the host CPU. Aggressive sampling rates also decrease the amount of processing time available for other EOS applications.

Clamping MSS value helps in avoiding IP fragmentation in tunnel scenarios by ensuring that MSS is small enough to accommodate the extra overhead of GRE and tunnel outer IP headers.

The`ptp forward-v1` command configures the switch to forward Precision Time Protocol version 1 packets as regular multicast traffic. By default, when PTP is enabled and PTPv1 packets are received on the PTP enabled interfaces, these packets are trapped by the CPU, logged and discarded. The feature is already supported on various Arista platforms, this article highlights added support on the 7280R/7280R2/7020R/7500R/7500R2 platforms in EOS 4.26.0F and on the 7280R3/7500R3/7800R3/7289 platforms in EOS 4.29.0F. It highlights some differences in support for 7280/7500/7800 R/R2 platforms versus 7280/7500/7800 R3 platforms.
