RADIUS Pooling lets you assign a pre-defined list of RADIUS Servers that Access Points (AP) can use to authenticate, authorize, and maintain clients' accounts. It offers better load-balancing capabilities and improved scalability.You do not have to specify the order of the RADIUS servers as Primary or Secondary. Every AP randomly chooses the RADIUS servers from the pool, and then independently decides the sequence of the RADIUS servers and follows the order. Two APs sharing the same RADIUS pool may not share the same order for the RADIUS servers. APs automatically distribute the client load based on an intelligent algorithm.

RADIUS proxy feature enables proxying RADIUS requests from a RADIUS client and forwarding it to a remote RADIUS server. Similarly, RADIUS proxy receives the reply from the remote RADIUS server and forwards it to the client.

With the 13.0 release, CloudVision Cognitive Unified Edge (CV-CUE) can redirect onboarding clients to a dynamic URL defined by the RADIUS. If the  RADIUS access-accept request has a role and a redirection URL for a client, access points (AP) can redirect such client’s HTTP or HTTPS requests. 

The SFP-10G-RA-1G-LX and SFP-10G-RA-1G-SX transceivers are rate adapting SFP+ transceivers with internal clause 37 auto-negotiation (AN) support. The transceiver host interface is 10G XFI and the module rate adapts in the egress direction from 10G to 1G before transmitting data on the attached fiber. In the ingress direction it rate adapts the received 1G data to 10G before sending to the host switch. This allows 1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-SX support on switches which do not natively support 1G operation.

The rate watermark counters feature allows for the capturing of microbursts within a configured interval based on the fast interface counters. The rate watermark counters feature is built on top of the high frequency fast poll counters which allows for increased visibility of microbursts that may happen within a short time window.

Some data plane features on some switch platforms may require packets to be recirculated through the switch chip in

The new 96TB Recorder Node SKU (DCA-DM-RN760), primarily designed as a lower-cost model, meets lower data retention and recording performance requirements and is supported starting from DMF 8.7.0.

This feature allows to advertise routes learnt via BGP into IS IS network or IS IS routes into BGP network. It also

With the 18.0 release, you can prevent clients using locally-administered MAC addresses from accessing your network. Network administrators can ensure that only clients using their device’s globally unique MAC addresses are able to connect to the network. By making sure that only devices with globally unique MAC addresses connect to the network, you can mitigate potential security threats associated with spoofing or unauthorized access by having control over device identification.

In the BGP Update message’s AS_PATH, routers have the capability to perform route aggregation and combine the ASes an update has traversed, merging the discrete entries into an  AS_SET. Routers can also do this within the local confederation with member AS numbers, using an AS_CONFED_SET. Route aggregation can be problematic as it blurs the semantics of what it means to originate a route. RFC 6472 recommends not using AS_SET or AS_CONFED_SET in BGP, and further justifies reasoning as to why, as well as provides a recommended way to handle updates with these messages.

This feature removes an ARP entry when the physical port, on which the ARP entry's MAC address is learned, goes down.

When this feature is disabled, the dst_vlan field in the switch extension always equals to the src_vlan field for L2 traffic. When this feature is enabled, the dst_vlan field will be the 802.1Q VLAN ID of the outgoing frame for L2 traffic.

In the 14.0 release, CloudVision Cognitive Unified Edge (CV-CUE) introduces a new Report, WiFi-Radios Instantaneous.

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.

When this feature is enabled, responses to gNMI get requests as well as NETCONF get-config responses will contain the default values for YANG leafs if those leafs do not have any other value. This means that where a leaf value would normally be returned in a response, its default value (as defined in the YANG model) will be returned if the leaf does not have any other value assigned to it. Before this change, leafs that had a default value would not have been included in gNMI get responses.

With the 16.0 release, CloudVision Cognitive Unified Edge (CV-CUE) introduces the Client Roaming Explorer. It provides a graphical and tabular view of a client’s roaming events from one access point (AP) to another AP.

Creating a scope, or attribute, for your SAML provider allows you to pass CloudVision roles from the corresponding identity provider to CloudVision. This allows CloudVision user accounts to be automatically created with these roles when a new user logs in with that provider.

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

RSVP-TE, the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) for Traffic Engineering (TE), is used to distribute MPLS labels for steering traffic and reserving bandwidth. The Label Edge Router (LER) feature implements the headend functionality, i.e., RSVP-TE tunnels can originate at an LER which can steer traffic into the tunnel.

RSVP-TE P2MP LER adds ingress and egress support for Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) LSPs to be used in Multicast Virtual Private Network (MVPN) as an extension to the LSR support which adds transit support.

RSVP-TE P2MP LSR adds transit support for Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) LSPs. Specifically the feature adds protocol support for the transit role as described in RFC 4875.

With the 13.0 release, you can integrate SAML SSO with a captive portal for authentication. The SAML integration functionality is only available 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.

Network administrators require access to flow information that passes through various network elements, for the purpose of analyzing and monitoring their networks. This feature provides access to IP flow information by sampling traffic flows in ingress and/or egress directions on the interfaces on which it is configured. The samples are then used to create flow records, which are exported to the configured collectors in the IPFIX format. Egress Flow tracking is supported from EOS-4.29.0F on the DCS-7170B-64C series and supported on 7280, 7500 and 7800 series platforms from EOS-4.31.1".

Sampled Mirroring is an extension of the Mirroring feature and sampling is a property of the individual mirroring session: when the session's sample rate N is specified, a packet eligible for mirroring will have a 1/N chance of being mirrored, that is, 1 packet is mirrored for every N packets.

With the 17.0 release, CloudVision Cognitive Unified Edge (CV-CUE) introduces the ability to schedule the generation of Client Visibility and Client Association reports. You can schedule report generation on a one-time basis or recurring basis.  Note: Users with Admin or Operator roles only can schedule a report.

With the 13.0 release, you can schedule the Automatic Channel Selection (ACS) to run at a specific time of the day and minimize service disruption.
