Legend!! Thank you very much for that, very helpful link to assist with mapping the codetrain
What would be the chance that you have the EOS on hand ?
Hello,
I have Arista 7060cx-32s running 4.34.1F without any licenses.
Most of the L3 features like EVPN working fine except SNAT.
According to arista "supported-features" documentation I need licenses for EVPN and NAT to work. But EVPN works without any license.
I am confused here, do I really need LIC-FIX-2-E for NAT to work, or it's not supported at all on this platform?

The switch ASIC in the 7060CX-32S doesn't support NAT. See Arista's feature explorer, under "L3 features".
The 7050X3 family (but *not* the 7050X4), 720XP, and 7170 all support NAT, but it's rare on other Arista devices. The 7050TX3-48C8 or 720XP-48ZC2 are probably the "cheapest" semi-current Arista devices with 100G ports and SNAT.

In general, Arista's licenses are all on the honor system, and they make a solid attempt to support all of the features that the switch ASICs support, but they can't do wire-speed NAT when the hardware doesn't support it.
You *might* be able to play terrible games with routing some set of packets through the Linux kernel, NATing them, and then sending them back to the hardware but it'd be a hack. There wouldn't be any UI for it, you'd need to hand-configure things under the hood, it probably wouldn't survive a reboot, and (possibly most importantly) it wouldn't be very fast. None of Arista's switches have particularly fast CPUs, and the link between the ASIC and the CPU isn't all that big, either. You'd almost certainly be happier with an external NAT/firewall box.
It *does* look like the kernel's NAT module is included, at least in 4.28, though.
Honestly, I'm not sure if the NAT-capable switches would be particularly useful as a home gateway, either. They still can't do a particularly great job at firewalling traffic. I have a couple 720XPs, but I haven't tried actually using NAT on them for anything.

Probably should kill off that link, that's a good way to make it go away permanently.
No one is going back multiple pages to find the link. I wouldn't think of it either. If not posted it's not used, and then what good is it to have online, if no one uses it?
I have been sharing through private messages for a long time now, it's nice to just dump a link that people can use. If not this one, I know of 3 others that's online as well.
Sorry to rez this, but I'd love a 7050TX firmware that allows me to set the fan speeds. I have 4.20 on this unit and apparently there's no hardware fan-speed command?
Really hoping someone has something, my better half is not going to tolerate this amount of noise.
EDIT: Please disregard, I found a working link to 4.28 in this thread somewhere! Thanks everyone!

no that would be illegal, do we look like we wanna go to prison for life? I would not last 3 days
did you even look? i got mine from another source already anywayIt's on the same page, just gotta open them eyes
