Overview One of the advantages Arista offers for campus switches is an automated approach to grouping campus closet switches together into a virtual stack via CloudVision Portal (CVP).  This article covers a Configlet Builder that will automate the building of a Layer 3 Leaf Spine (L3LS) architecture integrated into the data center. Introduction In a Data Center, switches are traditionally managed out-of-band where the forwarding of management information is in a separate data path than the actual data center traffic.  The management connections are via a separate management network, and the switches typically plug into that environment through a copper...
