Basic switching works out of the box, but l3 features, vxlan and various monitoring protocols require additional licenses.

At least with other model switches, while they do "require" "licenses" you may find that those features still work perfectly fine.

Can confirm what @Chankster said. Not recommending but informing you that you don't need a license for anything besides cloud-related features with Arista. There is no license checking built in to their hardware.
