The Arista 7050 series is designed
Arista DCS Switch The Arista 7050S
uses
The same Arista DCS software as all Arista products, simplifying network
management. Arista EOS allows monitoring and management features such as Zero
Touch Provisioning, VMTracer, and Linux-based tools to be used natively on the
switch.
The Arista
EOS is a modular switching system with a unique state sharing architecture that
effectively separates the switching state from protocol programming and
application logic. All EOS processes are built on a standard Linux kernel and
run in their own protected and shared state via a shared repository. This
multi-state architecture provides a foundation for service-based software
updates and self-healing. Many Linux-based tools can be used directly on the
switch running on a dual-core x86 CPU system.
Generally available
The Arista 7050 series is designed to be available as a
in terms of software and hardware. Current key features of the
are:
• 1+1 hot-swap power supply
• Four N+1 hot-swap fans
• Full software suite
• Self-healing software
with State Error Correction (SFR) • Up to 16 10GbE port Network Link Group (LAG)
• Multi-chassis LAG
for active/active L2 replication • 32-way ECMP routing for load balancing and throttling
Dynamic buffer allocation:
In switch mode, the Arista 7050 transmits 10Gb packets. Latency from 800 to
1350 nanoseconds. In case of congestion, packets are sent back to a shared
device buffer of 9 MBytes. Unlike other architectures with fixed device packet
buffers, the 7050 uses Dynamic Buffer Allocation (DBA) to allocate up to 5 MB
of packet buffers to a device. One line for performance.
