VLAN counters on Arista vEOS

Posted on March 30, 2018 by

Hello, I’m running Arista vEOS 4.18.1F, and a configured vlan for either trunk and access mode interfaces and I’m not able to see the vlan counters: localhost(config)#show vlan counters Hardware VLAN Counters: Disabled    localhost(config)#show vlan VLAN  Name                             Status    Ports —– ——————————– ——— ——————————- 1     default                          active    Et1, Et2, Et3, Et4, Et7, Et10Et11, Et12 20    Federation                       active    Et5, Et6, Et8,...

Double tagging vlans on one switch

Posted on September 14, 2017 by

we are looking at using our DCS-7050SX-64-R to connect to cloud providers via a layer 2 service and this requires QinQ. The outer (S) vlan is for the layer 2 service to use to know where to forward the frame (ie which cloud provider instance, then  outer tag is stripped and frame is forwarded) and the inner (c ) tag is needed by cloud provider to connect to their virtual routers.  In Cisco you can do this one once switch:  encapsulation dot1q 101 second–dot1q 1001 https://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/lanswitch/configuration/guide/lsw_ieee_802.1q.html     How can I do this on an Arista, the “second-dot1q” command does not exist and I have spent ages looking into...

VLAN translation and q-in-q

Posted on May 5, 2017 by

Hello I am looking at purchasing some DCS-7050S switches and wanting to know if there is any way to translate a VLAN that is received as a C-VLAN to an standard vlani.e to map a C-VLAN to an S-VLAN Here is an example eth 1 is a dot1q-tunnel and receives a number of vlans SVID: 100 with CVID’s of 200, 400 & 600 I want to map CVID 400 from eth1 to a VLAN that I can pass as a standard VLAN trunk to another port.e.g eth4 being a trunk and passing that CVID  400 as something like VLAN 40...

bandwidth on trunk vlan.

Posted on August 25, 2016 by

Hello Being new on Arista I have a small question. Status of the project : Part of my job is to deliver internet access has several customers in an incubator, however I must necessarily go through a network owned a incubator. The incubator delivers me VLANS for each customer and I have a ARISTA DCS-7048T-A. On my Arista I have two ports connected to a CISCO NEXUS (which belongs to the incubator). So on the Arista I’ll have to configure two ports in trunk of VLANs. However I have not found a way to make a limitation of bandwidth (upload...

How do we tag a VLAN without using a port as access or trunk in Arista (device: arista (DCS-7060CX-32S, EOS-4.15.1FX-7060X.1)).

Posted on January 20, 2016 by

I have an device: arista (DCS-7060CX-32S, EOS-4.15.1FX-7060X.1) which is configured with 25Gig Speed and connected to servers. I need to set VLAN ID TAGGED for a port without using port mode as trunk or access. The device has not support to TAP option can anyone suggest me in tagging VLAN ID for an port without using TRUNK or ACCESS mode. Attaching the commands supported by device: arista (DCS-7060CX-32S, EOS-4.15.1FX-7060X.1)

VXLAN to VLAN trunk port – multiple multicast-groups?

Posted on June 5, 2015 by

Hello everybody, I have configured the following VXLAN networks using VMware vShield which should be mapped to VLANs on a virtual Arista Switch (vEOS 4.15.OF): VNI5000 / Multicast 225.1.1.1 / Map to VLAN 500 VNI5001 / Multicast 225.1.1.2 / Map to VLAN 501 VNI5002 / Multicast 225.1.1.3 / Map to VLAN 503 But on the interface vxlan 1, I can only set one multicast-group on the interface vxlan 1. Is there the possibility to set multiple multicast-group on this interface (one multicast-group per VNI)? I also cannot create more than one VXLAN interface – is this a general limitation or...

Find the next free VLAN id

Posted on April 29, 2015 by

If you have a lot of VLANs to manage, finding unused, available VLAN ids can be a challenge. Here’s a short alias to do exactly that (with the help of our customer Mateusz Blaszczyk): alias next-vlan show vlan | awk -v a=`echo %1 ` '$1 ~ /[0-9]/ && $1==a { ++a }; END { print a }' alias next-vlan-h bash echo -e "\nUsage: next-vlan <STARTING-ID>\n\nWhere <STARTING-ID> is the VLAN id to start looking for unused VLAN ids\n"   Description: The script analyses the output of the “show vlan” command for consequently rising VLAN ids, starting with the given one. It...

Tap Aggregation – Filtering with Port ACLs

Posted on November 5, 2014 by

  1) Introduction   This article details the filtering of traffic across the Tap Aggregator by using port ACL. The filters allow granular selection of Layer2, Layer3, and Layer4 traffic on a per-port basis. The following other features might also be of interest, but are out of scope of this article: VLAN membership filters Traffic Steering   2) Filtering Overview   The well known MAC and IP Access-List filtering is used to filter traffic in Tap Aggregation mode, just like it does in switching mode. The Layer2/3/4 ACLs can be applied on Tap ports, ingress on Tool ports, egress  ...

Tap Aggregation – VLAN List Filtering

Posted on September 4, 2014 by

  1) Introduction   A list of allowed VLANs simply specifies, under an interface in Tap Aggregation mode, which VLAN traffic is allowed. Removing VLANs from the allowed list means those VLANs would be blocked. It allows filtering traffic in a flexible manner, directly from the interface command, without creating ACLs or steering policies. This article details how to configure the VLAN list, and combine them to achieve multi-stage VLAN filtering.   2) Allowed VLAN List Definition   An allowed VLAN list is simply a definition of VLAN IDs. By default, all VLANs are allowed. The below commands illustrate the...
