Stale routes are learned routes from adjacent BGP neighbors whose neighborship has been interrupted by session instability. This feature adds a mechanism to specify a stale policy route-map for which the stale routes from a gracefully restarting, or depending on the configuration of the feature, a non-gracefully restarting BGP peer will be processed.

This feature adds a configuration option which provides a CLI error if a reference is made to an unconfigured policy

BGP VPN routes today advertise a label by dynamically allocating it from a dynamic label range block without providing the user any control over the label value that is allocated per VRF’s address Family - VPNv4 or VPNv6. This feature allows the user to configure a unique label per VRF’s configured address-family, VPNv4 or VPNv6, thereby allowing the user granular control over the label value advertised with VPN routes exported from a VRF.

Routing control functions (RCF) is a new language, a different way of policy definition and application in a programmatic fashion (https://www.arista.com/en/support/toi/eos-4-27-2f/15102-routing-control-functions-language-and-configuration). EOS Application Programmable Interface (eAPI) is another means whereby commands are sent to the switch (i.e. aside from the switch’s command-line interface - CLI which has been the norm), which can be executed through various methods like web interface, shell or a program/script.

The feature allows assigning of class E addresses to interfaces by default with no option to turn that off and routing

This feature allows configuring an IPv4 static route with IPv6 nexthop, both the interface and associated IPv6 address as nexthop router; the associated IPv6 address could be a linklocal address.

The feature allows the assignment of reserved IPv4 addresses from reserved ranges 240.0.0.0/4 and 0.0.0.0/8 to network interfaces. by default, with no option to turn that off.

This feature enables the user to configure a list or range of BGP attributes to be ignored by the router on receipt of a BGP update message. The BGP attributes are discarded from the BGP update message, and unless the action of discarding an attribute causes the update message to trigger error handling, then the update message is parsed as normal.

ISIS Leaked Route Summarization is a feature which summarizes all the L1 leaked routes in L2 routers. With the help of this L2 LSP size reduces (smaller no of routes in L2 LSP). 

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 using type-2 routes, but additionally,  EVPN supports the exchange of layer 3 IPv4 and IPv6 overlay routes through the extensions described in (type 5 EVPN routes).

For various peering applications, there is a need to support the assignment of a MAC address on routed interfaces.

EOS supported two routing protocol implementations: multi-agent and ribd. The ribd routing protocol model is removed starting from the EOS-4.32.0F release. Multi-agent will be the only routing protocol model. Both models largely work the same way though there are subtle differences.

Overlay IPv6 routing over VXLAN Tunnel is simply routing IPv6 packets in and out of VXLAN Tunnels, similar to

This document describes a new CLI command to help debug how and why policy permits and denies paths. The aim of this CLI command is for the user to debug a route map or RCF (Routing Control Functions) function by specifying as input a prefix for which BGP has reachability for, either via a BGP peer or a redistribute source.

A L2 sub-interface is a logical bridging endpoint associated with traffic on an interface distinguished by 802.1Q tags, where each <interface, 802.1Q tag> tuple is treated as a first-class bridging interface. 

Default routing protocols model will be set to multi-agent in 4.30.1. Note that the default value is only used if a value is not specified in startup-config.

In EOS 4.18.0F, VXLAN direct routing was introduced on the 7500R and 7280E/R series platforms. VXLAN routing
