Time stamping is an important tool for network engineering and performance analysis. EOS-4.21.3F adds support for payload timestamping of all GRE encapsulated mirrored packets at line rate (initially only supported on the 7500R/7280R/7500R2/7280R2 series). A timestamp is taken on ingress and inserted into the GRE encapsulated mirrored packet payload at egress.

Selective ARP install is the selective programming of remote ARPs in hardware as received through EVPN Type 2 MAC-IP routes in an EVPN VXLAN/ MPLS Integrated Routing and Bridging (IRB) scenario. Instead of installing every MAC+IP binding received from EVPN into the hardware, the switch installs them only when there is routed traffic destined to the IP, thereby saving TCAM space on the switch. However, there is a tradeoff as there is an initial one-time latency to install the hardware TCAM entry on the first flow of routed traffic to the IP.

The ‘show interfaces interactions’ command aims to provide users a resource that explains various relationships between ethernet interfaces. It describes interactions in which a configuration on an interface causes another set of interfaces to become inactive or have reduced capabilities.Examples include a primary interface consuming subordinate interfaces to service a four-lane speed or platform restrictions that require four interfaces of a port to operate at the same speed.
