Hi Darren We (Simwood) migrated to Arista last year and it is awesome. We’re using the 7050SX because we really wanted DirectFlow so compromising on the full-table (in FIB - you get it all in RIB) was a given. We rolled our own solution for that which was made a lot easier by EOS supported a URL source for access-lists. In fact I did a talk at LINX98 on the various other cool things the migration has enabled us to do.
Support is awesome - you get a response from a clueful human pretty quickly - and the SEs rock too. We also moved to CloudVision for management of static config (dynamic being through the API or http fed ACLs) and it is a game-changer. The ability to have ‘configlets’ cascade through your hierarchy as appropriate is brilliant - you can change network-wide info once and ensure it is consistent across the estate for example. That is also really strong for pushing out the resulting config-tasks, including being able to snapshot the network before and after the change to highlight any loss of BGP sessions, port-status or mac-address visibility. At the other end, being able to cleanly delete a configlet containing, say, a peer with BGP config, prefix-list and ACL, and not be left with bits of config about the place is powerful too. I can’t recommend it highly enough. W > On 21 Nov 2017, at 13:40, Darren Brown <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Guys, > > Does anyone have any experience of Arista products good / bad ?
