Arista Software License Framework

Arista licensing for software offerings span across physical devices, virtual software platforms, on-prem and cloud based
management offerings via EOS, CloudEOS, CloudVision, CloudVision WiFi, Converged Cloud Fabric, DANZ Monitoring Fabric and
MOS software. The licensing model is designed to provide flexibility and consistency, both in the choice of the appropriate feature
functionality and in the software consumption model.

This document serves as a guide to the license consumption models (perpetual and subscription) as well as a mapping of Arista
license SKUs to the products on which they operate and the features they include.

Arista software licenses are perpetual, unless a term is mentioned in the SKUs. Perpetual licenses are not transferable among
products without written authorization from Arista.

EOS Software Licenses for Arista Fixed and Modular portfolio

EOS license SKUs provide the right to use advanced features on Arista switching and routing platforms and cover avariety of use
cases in data center, routing, campus etc. These licenses are perpetual and applied on a per-device basis. These generally have the
following format - LIC-WWW-X-Y, which translate as follows:

Licenses are first divided into fixed and modular platforms categories and then further divided into tiers based on the platform
capacity, bandwidth, scalability etc of the platforms, then finally divided by the feature set included in the license. This subdivision is
explained as follows:

Fixed Switching Platforms (FIX-X)

The perpetual license on Arista fixed configuration switches are subdivided into platform classes 1, 2, 3, 4, or MG based on the
various attributes such as chip capacity, system features, port speeds, etc.

Modular Switching Platforms (MOD-X)

EOS perpetual licenses for modular switches are based on the total number of line card slots. Each of the licenses are subdivided into
the following platform classes:

• X=1: modular switches with 4 line card slots

• X=2: modular switches with 8 line card slots

• X=3: modular switches with 12 line card slots

• X=4: modular switches with 16 line card slots

Feature Sets (-Y)

Arista EOS offers a broad range of advanced features as mapped to the feature sets in the table below.

Note: a ‘V’ license is a feature license maintained for historical purchases and allows the right to use the following functions—
VMTracer and VXLAN (without VXLAN Control Service (VCS)).

Specific mapping of the license classes to platforms are shown in the tables below. These include fixed platforms supporting 10G
and higher speeds, fixed platforms supporting 1G/ mG and lower speeds as well as modular platforms.
Table 1. The table below identifies the specific mapping of the fixed license classes to the Arista fixed switch models with 10G and
higher speed front panel ports.
