EOS 4.21.3F TOI

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.

MMU Profile CLI allows to reserve buffers in either cells or bytes. This feature eases the configuration as different

In conventional VXLAN deployments, each MLAG pair of switches are represented as a common logical VTEP. VXLAN traffic can be decapsulated on either switch. In some networks, there are hosts that are singly connected to one of the MLAG pair.

Modular systems and fixed systems with multi faps by default use fabric egress replication mode. With fabric egress

It has been observed that on Arista products using Alta switching chip from Intel/Fulcrum may experience the CPU Lock

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 following QoS features are supported on the vEOS router (DPDK flavor):. The port can be configured

Similar to reconfiguring the traffic class to transmit queue map, the traffic class to priority group mapping can

This feature allows for setting BGP path attribute Multi Exit Discriminator for IGP routes advertised by BGP. This

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.

The MMU watermark counters report the maximum usage of the MMU queues during a given time window. This feature reports
