JSON License File for On-Premises WiFi

Posted on November 18, 2019 by   |   22 Views

Description With the 8.8.1 release, the license for an on-premises Arista WiFi server is a JSON file. The JSON license is sent in an email from Arista. It contains fields such as customer information, the features supported on that deployment, platform details, and digital signature information. Note: The new licensing mechanism does not, in general, affect upgrades to existing servers. After an upgrade, an existing on-premises WiFi server with a valid license continues to operate as before. If an existing license expires, support for the new (JSON) license is provided. The application of the new license proceeds as described in...

Wifi EoGRE

Posted on August 28, 2019 by   |   0 Views

Hello, I’m currently testing Arista Wifi and I have issues with getting the tunneling part to work. I have setup a tunnel interface with vlan 203 and key 203. The endpoint is a Cisco ASR 1001. The SSID is set to tunneling mode, I chose that tunnel interface I just created and I can see the GRE packets going out to the ASR. I even see the DHCP DISCOVERs from my test client. However then nothing happens :( I found a few guides online and the ASR is configured like this: interface Tunnel68 mac-address 0000.5e00.0068 ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 no...

VXLAN On Arista AP

Posted on August 23, 2019 by   |   168 Views

Overview VXLAN is a Layer 2 technology that helps you to create a virtual Layer 2 network (overlay network) on top of a physical Layer 3 network (underlay network), enabling you to use Layer 3 features of the underlying network, which cannot be achieved using 802.1q VLANs. Each VXLAN tunnel is identified by the VXLAN segment ID or VXLAN Network Identifier (VNI) which is 24 bits, which enables you to create up to 16 million isolated networks. This overcomes the limitation of VLANs, which have a 12 bit VLAN ID, allowing a maximum of 4,094 isolated networks. Arista WiFi Access...

RF Transmit Power configuration enhancements

Posted on August 23, 2019 by   |   59 Views

Description The transmit power configured on UI is now treated as EIRP (Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power) instead of radio output power. EIRP is the effective power emitted by the AP in the direction of maxima of radiation pattern and is equal to the sum of Radio Transmit power and antenna gain. UI configuration for External Antennas has been introduced. It applies only to the APs with external antennas. APs with internal antennas would take default values (refer to datasheet for details on antenna gain values). Wireless Manager UI Configuration Tx power and External antenna gain values can be configured from...

SNMP support for Cloud and On-Prem deployments

Posted on August 23, 2019 by   |   34 Views

Description Cloud: SNMP support for Event/Alerts (New Feature) Starting 8.8 release, Cloud customers can receive all events/alerts as SNMP traps. While configuring an SNMP trap destination server, an AP can be configured to act as CIP (Cloud Integration Point) to receive traps without exposing the SNMP destination server over the Internet. An SNMP destination server can be added through either “CloudVision WiFi” (SYSTEM -> Third-Party Servers -> SNMP-Alerts) or “Wireless Manager” UI (Configuration -> ESM Integration -> Events SNMP). To configure SNMP trap destination server through “CloudVision WiFi”, go to  “SNMP-Alerts” configuration page from the SYSTEM -> “Third-Party Servers”. Click...
