ADVANCED FEATURES:

Layer 2 & Layer 3 Switching:

High-performance bridging and routing with support for 4,000+ VLANs and VRF-lite. Scalable MAC/FIB tables support large fabric deployments. Features such as ECMP, LACP, and BFD deliver sub-second convergence. Advanced routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, RIP) enable versatile roles in data centre fabrics.

Layer 4 Traffic Intelligence:

Supports policy-based routing and stateful ACLs for granular traffic control. Dynamic ECMP hashing enhances load balancing across multiple paths. Deep buffer awareness ensures lossless forwarding during bursty AI/ML workloads, while per-flow telemetry provides real-time congestion visibility.

Virtualisation & Cloud Overlays:

Native support for VXLAN, NVGRE, and EVPN enables scalable multi-tenant and hybrid cloud architectures. Distributed gateway functionality supports seamless VM and container mobility. Full integration with VMware NSX, OpenStack, Kubernetes CNI, and major cloud orchestrators ensures cloud-ready deployment.

Storage Networking Optimisation:

Cut-through switching with ultra-low latency and RoCEv2 optimisations accelerate HPC and AI clusters. Priority Flow Control (PFC) and Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) ensure congestion-free, lossless transport for NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) environments.

High Availability & Resilience:

Redundant, hot-swappable PSUs and fans maintain continuous uptime. MLAG provides non-stop forwarding during link or node failures. In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) and Smart System Upgrade (SSU) minimise downtime in production deployments.

Comprehensive QoS & Traffic Engineering:

Offers eight hardware queues per port with hierarchical QoS scheduling. Supports strict priority, weighted fair queuing (WFQ), and Deficit Round Robin (DRR). Dynamic buffer allocation adapts resources in real-time for consistent application performance.

Telemetry & Advanced Monitoring:

Supports streaming telemetry via gNMI, gRPC, and OpenConfig. LANZ enables sub-microsecond latency monitoring for AI/ML workloads. Provides per-queue statistics, sFlow/NetFlow export, and deep buffer visibility for advanced analytics.

Automation & Programmability:

Exposes open APIs (eAPI, REST, Python, Go) for automation and integration. Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) streamlines large-scale deployments. Fully compatible with Ansible, Puppet, Chef, Salt, and managed fabric-wide through Arista CloudVision.

Security Enhancements:

Comprehensive access security with advanced ACLs, 802.1X, DHCP snooping, and IP Source Guard. Control Plane Policing (CoPP) protects routing stability. Hardware-based MACsec encryption secures data centre interconnects. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), TACACS+/RADIUS, and encrypted APIs safeguard administrative access.

Energy Efficiency & Data Centre Alignment:

Powered by next-gen silicon optimised for energy efficiency per gigabit. Dynamic fan speed control with front-to-back airflow aligns with hot/cold aisle data centre cooling. 80 PLUS Platinum-certified PSUs reduce power footprint.

Scalability & Future-Ready Architecture:

Supports multi-speed interfaces (10/25/50/100/200/400/800GbE) with full breakout flexibility. 32 × OSFP ports scale to 128 logical interfaces, ensuring massive scalability. Built for next-generation optics and silicon, ensuring long-term investment protection.

Lifecycle Management & Analytics:

Supports golden image protection and rollback to reduce upgrade risks. CloudVision compliance checks detect and remediate configuration drift. Predictive analytics, audit logging, and rich telemetry simplify troubleshooting and capacity planning.
