Arista EOS
The Arista 7060X and 7260X run the same Arista EOS software as all Arista products,
simplifying network administration. Arista EOS is a modular switch operating system
with a unique state sharing architecture that cleanly separates switch state from
protocol processing and application logic. Built on top of a standard Linux kernel, all
EOS processes run in their own protected memory space and exchange state
through an in-memory database. This multi-process state sharing architecture
provides the foundation for in-service-software updates and self-healing resiliency.
With Arista EOS, advanced monitoring and automation capabilities such as Zero
Touch Provisioning, VMTracer and Linux based tools can be run natively on the
switch with the powerful x86 CPU subsystem.

Model Overview
The Arista 7260X and 7060X come in four different configurations. Each delivers high performance combined with feature rich layer 2
and layer 3 forwarding, suited for both top of rack leaf, or fixed configuration spines.
The 7060CX2-32S and 7060CX-32S deliver 32 QSFP100 ports in a 1RU system with an overall throughput of 6.4Tbps. All ports allow
for a choice of 5 speeds including 100GbE, 40GbE, 4x10GbE, 4x25GbE or 2x 50GbE with a wide choice of QSFP transceivers and cables.
All QSFP ports can operate in any mode without limitation enabling a wide choice of combinations for both top of rack and spine
deployment.
Arista 7060CX-32S supports latency as low as 450ns in cut-through mode, and a 16 MB shared packet buffer pool that is allocated
dynamically to ports that are congested. Arista 7060CX2-32S introduces support for IEEE 25GbE and supports a larger shared packet
buffer pool of 22 MB with the same low latency of 450ns.

7060X and 7260X Series | Platform Overview
Dynamic Buer Allocation
In cut-through mode, the Arista 7060X and 7260X switches forward packets with a latency of 450 nanoseconds to 550 nanoseconds.
Upon congestion, the packets are buffered in shared packet memory that has a total size of 16 MBytes to 22 MBytes per port group.
Unlike other architectures that have fixed per-port packet memory, the 7060X and 7260X Series use Dynamic Buffer Allocation (DBA) to
allocate packet memory to a single port for lossless forwarding.
Scaling Data Center Performance
The Arista 7060X and 7260X series deliver line rate switching at layer 2 and layer 3 to enable faster and simpler network designs for data
centers that dramatically lowers the network capital and operational expenses. When used in conjunction with the Arista 7000 series of
fixed and modular switches it allows networks to scale to over 27,000 10G/25G servers in low-latency two-tier networks that provide
predictable and consistent application performance. The flexibility of the L2 and L3 multi-path design options combined with support
for open standards provides architectural flexibility, scalability and network wide virtualization. Arista EOS advanced features provide
control and visibility with single point of management.

7060X and 7260X Series | Platform Overview
Software Driven Cloud Networking
Arista Software Driven Cloud Networking (SDCN), combines the principles that have made cloud computing the unstoppable force
that it is: automation, self service provisioning, and linear scaling of both performance and economics coupled with the trend in
Software Defined Networking that delivers: network virtualization, custom programmability, simplified architectures, and lower capital
expenditure. This combination creates a best-in-class software foundation for maximizing the value of the network to both the
enterprise and service provider data center.
Smart System Upgrade
Smart System Upgrade is a network application designed to address one of the most complicated and challenging tasks facing data
center administrators - network infrastructure maintenance. Changes to the underlying network infrastructure can affect large numbers
of devices and cause significant outages. SSU provides a fully customizable suite of features that tightly couples data center
infrastructure to technology partners allowing for intelligent insertion and removal, programmable updates to software releases and
open integration with application and infrastructure elements.
Advanced Event Management (AEM)
Simplifying the overall operations, AEM provides the tools to customize alerts and actions. AEM is a powerful and flexible set of tools to
automate tasks and customize the behavior of EOS and the operation of the overall data center switching infrastructure. AEM allows
operators to fully utilize the intelligence within EOS to respond to real-time events, automate routine tasks, and automate actions based
on changing network conditions.
Precise Data Analysis
Arista Latency Analyzer (LANZ) is an integrated feature of EOS. LANZ provides precise real-time monitoring of micro-burst and
congestion events before they impact applications, with the ability to identify the sources and capture affected traffic for analysis.
Virtualization
Supporting next-generation virtualized data centers requires tight integration with orchestration tools and emerging encapsulation
technologies such as VXLAN. The 7060X & 7260X build on the valuable tools already provided by the Arista VM Tracer suite to integrate
directly into encapsulated environments. Offering a wire-speed gateway between VXLAN and traditional L2/3 environments, they
make integration of non-VXLAN aware devices including servers, firewalls and load-balancers seamless and provide the ability to
leverage VXLAN as a standards based L2 extension technology for non-MPLS environments.
Unied Forwarding Table
Cloud network scalability is directly impacted by the size of a switches forwarding tables. In many systems a 'one size fits all' approach is
adopted using discrete fixed size tables for each of the common types of forwarding entry. The Arista 7060X and 7260X leverage a
common Unified Forwarding Table for the L2 MAC, L3 Routing, L3 Host and IP Multicast forwarding entries, which can be partitioned
per entry type. The ideal size of each partition varies depending on the network deployment scenario. The flexibility of the UFT coupled
with the range of pre-defined configuration profiles available on the 7060X and 7260X ensures optimal resource allocation for all
network topologies and network virtualization technologies.
