Cognitive Campus

The Cognitive Management Plane (CMP)  in Arista’s EOS provides rich control and

telemetry APIs used to simplify and automate the deployment, and maintenance of

campus infrastructure while also providing real-time monitoring of campus users,

applications and devices. As with all Arista platforms, EOS supports auto

provisioning by way of Arista Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) to simplify device

administration through CloudVision, or popular DevOps toolsets. In addition to

legacy polling management, EOS CMP delivers real time telemetry to administrators

using open GRPC/GNMI APIs used in OpenConfig, allowing administrators to create

custom management tools.

Arista EOS

The Arista 720XP series runs 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.

Arista’s common binary EOS provides a comprehensive, standards based, layer 2 and

3 feature set that includes EVPN virtualization and QoS services. EOS supports

standards based 802.1X access control, and LLDP device identification services to

automate admission and segmentation of users, appliances, plus all mission critical

voice, video and general purpose applications in the campus. Together, Arista’s

family of switching and WiFi platforms are managed through a single Cognitive

Campus management plane in CloudVision, providing sub-second real time

telemetry, database archival and automated analytics to manage and monitor the

infrastructure, users and applications in the Campus-Cloud Network.
