ADVANCED FEATURES:

Layer 2 & Layer 3 Switching :

The switch delivers comprehensive Layer 2 and Layer 3 services essential for modern enterprise and cloud networking. It supports VLAN segmentation, private VLANs, QinQ tunnelling, and advanced link aggregation via LACP for redundancy and throughput optimisation. On the Layer 3 side, it offers inter-VLAN routing, static and dynamic routing (OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, and multicast protocols), and full VRF support, enabling secure and efficient multi-tenant or multi-domain architectures.

Layer 4 Support:

Advanced Layer 4 features are integrated into the platform, allowing traffic classification and filtering based on TCP/UDP port numbers. With ACLs that support L4 fields, policy-based routing (PBR), and QoS prioritisation at Layer 4, the switch enables intelligent traffic handling for applications requiring deeper packet inspection and control.

Virtualisation : 

With integrated VXLAN and EVPN support, the switch enables seamless creation of large-scale network overlays. This allows thousands of tenants or segments to operate within a shared infrastructure, extending Layer 2 connectivity across Layer 3 boundaries. EVPN ensures robust control-plane learning for VXLAN networks, while providing consistent policy enforcement, workload mobility, and improved interoperability with virtualised and cloud-native environments.

High Availability: 

Redundancy is built into every layer of the platform. Dual hot-swappable power supplies and fan modules minimise downtime in the event of hardware failure. Support for Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG) enables resilient, active-active uplinks without reliance on Spanning Tree, delivering non-stop service during link or node failures. Furthermore, In-Service Software Upgrades (ISSU) and Stateful Fault Repair (SFR) enhance system availability, ensuring business-critical networks remain uninterrupted during maintenance or software updates.

Quality of Service (QoS):

The platform offers deep QoS capabilities designed for both enterprise and service provider workloads. Each port supports eight hardware queues, ensuring granular traffic prioritisation for voice, video, and mission-critical applications. Features such as traffic shaping, rate limiting, Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED), and strict priority queuing ensure predictable application performance. End-to-end QoS enforcement guarantees fairness, reduces jitter, and prevents congestion in high-density data environments.

Telemetry & Analytics:

Advanced visibility is provided through multiple telemetry frameworks. sFlow delivers packet-level sampling for traffic engineering, while LANZ (Latency Analyzer) identifies microbursts and latency hotspots in real time. The switch also supports model-driven streaming telemetry for proactive monitoring and integration with automation platforms. When used with Arista CloudVision, operators gain centralised monitoring, compliance enforcement, historical trend analysis, and AI-driven anomaly detection, enabling data-driven operations.

Automation & Programmability:

The switch is engineered for highly automated environments. Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) accelerates new deployments, while the open eAPI interface and Python scripting allow network engineers to integrate custom workflows. OpenConfig and gNMI support ensure multi-vendor programmability, enabling consistent management across diverse infrastructures. Combined with Ansible, Puppet, or Chef, the switch integrates seamlessly into modern DevOps pipelines, reducing operational costs and human error.

Security:

A comprehensive security toolkit ensures protection against unauthorised access and network threats. Features include 802.1X authentication, dynamic ACLs, DHCP snooping, IP Source Guard, and Dynamic ARP Inspection to prevent spoofing and address hijacking. Hardware-enforced MACsec encryption (on supported ports) ensures line-rate data confidentiality. Additionally, role-based access control (RBAC) and secure management protocols (SSH, SNMPv3, TLS) strengthen administrative security across distributed environments.

Energy Efficiency:

Optimised for power-sensitive deployments, the switch delivers exceptional performance per watt. Adaptive cooling dynamically adjusts fan speeds based on system load, ensuring silent and efficient operation. The power architecture is designed for reduced consumption without sacrificing throughput, allowing organisations to minimise operational costs. Combined with high port density in a compact form factor, the switch contributes to greener, more sustainable data centre operations.
