EOS images are not publicly available for download without a support contact. There is a thread here, however, where people who are looking for such things can make it known, and…

Yes, I have two 100G ports now on a BF2M515A. It was very difficult because I didn't know what I was doing, so I stumbled through it and didn't document the steps well enough in the moment. A few days later I tried to write up the process from memory, but that memory had already gotten pretty...

I bought one of these from this seller last fall. For what it's worth, they can be cross flashed to the 516A (IIRC) 2x100G model.

If EVPN is a hard requirement, that rules out Mikrotik. I'm not sure it really meets your definition of "small," and they're not particularly cheap on the used market, but the Dell S4112F and S5212F switches are half width (albeit deeper than they are wide), and should do proper VXLAN EVPN with...

I would recommend searching your favorite online retailer for a USB to RJ-45 console cable. Many listings will say that they're compatible with Cisco routers; since Arista uses the same pinout, those cables will work with your 7050 as well. The main reason to buy a USB to DB9 cable and a DB9 to...

The 7280TR should still be supported in EOS 4.30 and 4.31, for what it's worth.

Here's what I've found: 54c322b5a2fb378d7ce97c4973206eb1 EOS-2GB-4.23.13M.swi 1d6e2a1b8dc950e8a133996fdd4210cb5ae1dd6db3b064d94f3b254e8282702638eb243f554a6ab37322a3be8fb41dfc036f5cb78680da1a55c34a49927cc953 EOS-2GB-4.23.13M.swi (edit to add: this is SHA512, the other one they provide besides MD5)

Oh by the way, for all the people with 7050X and X2 Aristas, 4.28.10.1M is out.

At work, I use 7280SR3s in a service provider network where most of them are mounted in 2-post racks. Arista includes ears intended for the purpose (which may or may not be included with used switches purchased elsewhere), but I would not recommend hanging the switches by ears mounted all the...

There is no on-box GUI like Juniper with J-web on JunOS. Arista does offer CloudVision, but that's a pretty hefty service that you have to host internally on bare metal or your virtualization infrastructure (or pay for a cloud subscription). It provides a whole variety of config management and...

The latest release supported on the 7150S should be 4.23.14M.

By the way, 4.28.9M just dropped. If you're interested, you know what to do...

For what model(s) of switch are you looking for EXOS software?

These would typically be used by an ISP to hand off a dedicated internet access connection or an MPLS or VPLS circuit. At the core, it's an Ethernet switch, but it also supports supports carrier Ethernet features like G.8032 for ring topologies, RFC2544 for throughput measurement (a sort of...

From what Arista's product lifecycle data shows, the latest supported release for the 7050QX-32S is the 4.28 series, the latest version of which is currently 4.28.8.1M. Have you been able to get EOS 4.29.0.2F running on the 7050QX-32S successfully?
