Hi,
I've got myself a DCS-7050SX2-72Q. The last firmware version that is compatible is 4.28 it seems. Could someone please help me?
Thank you!
EDIT: Does anyone know if newer versions can be used as well, even if not officially supported?
From a bit of spelunking this seems to be the flash chip:
Is it upgradeable, should newer firmware versions be problematic because of insufficient disk space? I haven't yet opened the switch up to look inside.
EDIT2: Is there perhaps a maintained list of checksums for EOS images, so one could verify if images found on some http/ftp site are unmodified?

versions newer than the one in my compatibility list will not work, it's not a matter of disk space - the support/drivers for that generation of ASIC are totally removed from newer versions
Thanks for explaining!
Still looking for the firmware. I found a file online, that I *think* might be the correct firmware for me ... but I'm unsure if it is for my model and unmodified ... md5sum is:
Code:
d6a4e061b955dea5baa841bc79b524e9 EOS-4.28.10.1M.swiI'm contemplating getting a DCS-7280SR/SR2. Does anyone know if all, even the current, firmware versions support honor based licensing? I found this here indicating I may need an older firmware image (at least for certain features) ... https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/full-ip-tables-budget-routers.41194/#post-390038
If so, which version is the last one to use/look for?
EDIT: Everythings fine it seems, even for latest firmware ...

Does anyone have EOS 4.28.xx?
I bought a 7050SX-64 off Ebay, did a fullrecover to factory reset it and it went straight to Aboot mode and the EOS is now missing.
Thank you !

It sounds like you might have confirmed this already, but in case you do still need to know, the 7280SR/SR2 is supported in the latest 4.30/4.31/4.32 releases.
Thanks, but yes, I knew from a post from fohdeesha a few pages back, that 7280SR/SR2 is supported by the most current release at that time, 4.31. What I was unclear about was whether the licensing model works "the same" for the 7280 series as for the 7050. I was even able to load the flexroute profile and apply it - but haven't tested if it is "active" (or don't know how to without trying to stuff it full with the internet BGP table). It appears nothing else is restricted except maybe MACSEC, which probably needs a license, but my model doesn't have it anyways.

hello! How are you ? Could you release this image so I can download it? I have an Arista 7050TX-64-R and I don't have an image to reset to factory defaults. Many thanks
Hi all, I am new to STH。
I bought a 7050QX-32S, and according to the data provided by @fohdeesha, the latest EOS it can use is EOS-4.28.10.1M. Can anyone send me this version of firmware? Thanks!
Also, I would like to know at what price everyone has bought Arista switches? I bought 7050QX-32S from China for only $260 (excluding shipping), and got an ICX6610 for $100.
