Hello, What do you think about Arista 7280SR (DCS-7280SR-48C6-M-R) as a BGP peering router with 3 x upstream with full route view in RIB (ipv4 + ipv6) and another IXP feed? Considering switching from ASR9001 which is doing perfect work but has no more ports left. The price is very competitive

Re: Arista Layer3

While I am personally a fan of mikrotik for their ridiculously inexpensive MPLS features, their total and complete lack of ISIS is a show stopper in a lot of cases (and makes me sad) and their v6 support is mostly-ok-but-still-wonky(which also makes me sad) - and ROS 7 has been "coming soon" in

Their L3 stuff is as stable as their L2 stuff, in general. MP-BGP and VRFs are a tiny bit bleeding edge/lacking features, however for plain OSPF/BGP, they're great. /Ruairi On 30 November 2017 at 18:36, Romeo Czumbil wrote: > So I've been using Arista as layer2

Re: Arista Layer3

Thx. Rather steer clear of microtik for now however. Guess I shoulda mentioned a baseline 10G capability at least on 4 sfp+ ports (I know there's some 2port Microtiks too). Everyone's got gig-to-the-home now, I can't see how anyone plans 1G PE builds anymore. They'll be obsolete by the time

Re: Arista Layer3

For Enterprise/DC, it works great. For service provider, they're not 100% yet. The main issue is going to be around VRFs, as there's no interaction between them (at least in the code version I'm on, that may have changed recently or be changing soon). They'll work great as a P-Router, but if you
