7130 Platform Layer 1 Configuration
This section describes the purpose, behavior, and configuration of the 7130 platform and includes the following topics:
7130 Platform Overview
The Arista 7130 Series provides a comprehensive set of platforms to service ultra-low latency networking, in-network applications, and composable custom packet processing. The product family contains a broad selection of powerful hardware, FPGA-based network applications and developer toolkits.
The series contains the following features:- The 7130 Connect Layer 1+ network devices with port-to-port ultra low latencies.
- The FPGA-enabled devices of the 7130E and L Series, programmable switches hosting up to 3 FPGAs, and running Arista and third party network applications.
- The 7130 network applications which feature capabilities for low latency multiplexing using a MetaMux interface, tapping, tap aggregation, and sub-nanosecond precision timestamping on a MetaWatch interface. Capabilities also include Layer 2 switching on a SwitchApp, filtering on a Metaprotect interface, inline timestamping on an ExchangeApp interface, and segmented multiplexing for multi-tenant environments on a MultiAccess interface. Arista also provides development toolkits and IP Cores for users to develop applications.
This chapter provides information about configuring a 7130 Layer 1 interface to connect on your network.
