CAUTION: Excessive bending can damage the interface cables.

Configuring the Router

Arista routers ship from the factory in Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) mode. ZTP configures the router without user intervention by downloading a startup configuration file or a boot script from a location specified by a DHCP server.

To manually configure an Arista router, bypass ZTP. The initial configuration provides one username (admin) accessible only through the console port because it has no password.
When bypassing ZTP, access the router by logging in as admin, with no password, through the console port. Then you can configure a password for admin and other password-protected usernames.

The manual configuration procedure described below cancels ZTP mode, logs into the router, assigns a password to admin, assigns an IP address to the management port, and defines a default route to a network gateway.

As the router boots without a startup-config file, it displays the following through the console

1. Connect the router to a power source (Cable the Router).
   Note: Arista fixed routers take approximately 5 to 10 minutes to boot completely.

2. Connect the console port to a PC (Connecting Serial and Management Cables).

3. Log into the router by typing admin at the login prompt

4. Cancel ZTP mode by typing zero touch cancel
   Important: This step initiates the router to reboot.

5. After the router reboots, log into the router again by typing admin at the login prompt.

6. Enter global configuration mode.

7. Assign a password to the admin username with the username secret command. In this example, the assigned password is “pxq123”.

8. Configure a default route to the network gateway. In this example, the default route is 192.0.2.1.

9. Assign an IP address to an Ethernet management port. In this example, the IP address is 192.0.2.8/24.

10. Save the configuration by typing write memory or copy running-config startup-config.

11. When the management-port IP address is configured, use the following command to access the router from a host using the address configured in Step 9. Refer to the Arista Networks User Manual for the complete router configuration information.

This section describes interface capabilities such as speed and Forward Error Correction (FEC). For additional information, see the EOS User Guide. The capabilities are displayed with the following command

show interfaces hardware default

The speed/auto-negotiation depends on the MAC/PHY capabilities, the front panel connector, and the type of transceiver inserted. The default capabilities of the Arista 7220R Enterprise WAN Router are as follows

duplex autoneg clause 28
Et5| 1G/100M full duplex/10M full duplex autoneg clause 28
SFP (Et6-Et7)| 1G/10G full duplex

(Auto-negotiation 1G is not supported)

When a transceiver is inserted, EOS recognizes the transceiver type. To see which types of transceivers are supported, refer to the Supported Transceivers. EOS decides the capable speed/auto-negotiation satisfied by the hardware and the modules. To view the show commands and example outputs, refer to Show Commands for Speed and Auto-negotiation Capabilities.

When there is no speed configuration on the interface, EOS applies the default speed. On an RJ45 port, the default configuration is auto-negotiation enabled with 10G. On an SFP+ port, the default configuration is auto-negotiation disabled with 10G.

Speed Configuration
This section describes the configuration of interface speed and auto- negotiation.
Interface speed and auto-negotiation are configured using the speedspeed-lane- token commands as shown in the following examples

To configure 10G speed with auto-negotiation disabled
