Hi all, New to Arista so forgive me if I post a dumb question.
I have the following Switch and have been trying to enable the use of non arista branded SFP.


Arista DCS-7050SX-64-R
Hardware version: 12.23
Serial number: SSJ16451042
Hardware MAC address:
System MAC address:

Software image version: 4.26.8M
Architecture: i686
Internal build version: 4.26.8M-28525459.4268M
Internal build ID: f37547d4-f2d5-414c-8ee5-xxxxxxxxxxxx
Image format version: 1.0

I don't believe that my current version of EOS supports the enable3px file workaround, I am thinking of Downgrading to EOS-4.18.11 based on this article that shows that version being used to implement that workaround.
Unlocking Third Party Transceivers on Older Arista Switches (thelifeofkenneth.com)

I see that the DCS-7050S is listed but not the 7050SX (Would that be the issue?)

Last is if you have a signed version of the 4.18.11 that you can share? The one I found online received a warning that the file is unsigned.

Thank You

A web search for “arista service unsupported-transceiver” will provide what you need.

I run that version or a very close one on a 7050QX-32S and I didn’t need to do the 3x workaround, there was a command that just did it. I’ll check my running config shortly and see if I can find the command, if you haven’t found it via Google already.

Turns out the reason I didn't need the workaround was that I bought FS.com optics coded for Arista and I also have a SFP programmer. So I don't have the command.

From what I'm reading, the "bash touch /mnt/flash/enable3px" method is not dependent on the eOS version, but the switch itself. From the lists I'm finding, the 7050SX is too new for the magic file method, so you'll either need to contact Arista, find where someone has posted their own unlock code, or just get optics coded for Arista (plenty on eBay or order new from FS.com coded as Arista).

"bash touch /mnt/flash/enable3px" was retired and replaced with the "service unsupported transceiver" cli command in EOS 4.15 and up

Hello,

I am looking for EOS 4.28 for 7050X. I purchased a switch with EOS 4.14.9.1M. If you have the firmwares for the upgrade path to 4.28, please allow me to download.
