Our reference configuration used Arista 100G, 32-port Ethernet switches (model DCS-7060CX2-32S, running EOS-4.18.2-REV2-FX), but other switch models may be used in the future. Each DGX is connected into the overall topology by four distinct 100Gb/s links, with two ports connected to each of the two switches. Configuration example: vlan 1 state suspend #disable VLAN 1 altogether interface e1 switchport trunk native vlan 1000 #change native VLAN to 1000 Device Access Password Management Once a management connection is made, passwords are the next line of defense on limiting access to a switch. Comparing Common Layer 2 Configurations to Arista and Cisco The configuration of layer 2 networking in Cumulus Linux (or any Linux distribution for that matter) is different from the incumbent network operating systems like Cisco's NX-OS or Arista's EOS. This article details some of the syntax differences using common layer 2 examples. Configuring the Syslog Service on Arista Switches. Login to the Arista Switch; Go to the config mode. Configure the Switch as below to send the logs to the Eventlog Analyzer Server; Arista# config terminal; Arista(config)# logging host < Eventlog_Server_Ip > < port_number > protocol [tcp/udp] Arista(config)# logging trap information On Arista switches, the default BGP administrative distance is set to 200, regardless if it's eBGP or iBGP. As best practice, we will set the eBGP distance to 20, and keep iBGP distance at 200, giving preference to the eBGP routes. # spine1. router bgp 65000. router-id 10.0.250.1.
