Preparation
Site Selection
Read the safety instructions in your Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information booklet before
you begin.
The following criteria should be considered when selecting a site to install the appliance:
• Before you begin, review the safety instructions located at
https://www.arista.com/support/product-documentation.
• Begin installing the rails in the allotted space that is closest to the bottom of the rack enclosure.
• Other Requirements: Select a site where liquids or objects cannot fall onto the equipment and foreign
objects are not drawn into the ventilation holes. Verify these guidelines are met:
• Clearance areas to the front and rear panels allow for unrestricted cabling.
• All front and rear panel indicators can be easily read.
• Power cords can reach from the power outlet to the connector on the rear panel.
Note: All power connections must be removed to de-energize the unit.
Note: This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas.
Receiving and Inspecting the Equipment
Upon receiving the appliance, inspect the shipping boxes and record any external damage. Retain packing
materials if you suspect that part of the shipment is damaged; the carrier may need to inspect them.
If the boxes were not damaged in transit, unpack them carefully. Ensure that you do not discard any
accessories that may be packaged in the same box as the main unit.
Inspect the packing list and confirm that you received all listed items. Compare the packing list with your
purchase order.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Observe these guidelines to avoid ESD damage when installing or servicing the appliance.
• Assemble or disassemble equipment only in a static-free work area.
5

• Use a conductive work surface (such as an anti-static mat) to dissipate static charge.
• Wear a conductive wrist strap to dissipate static charge accumulation.
• Minimize handling of assemblies and components.
• Keep replacement parts in their original static-free packaging.
• Remove all plastic, foam, vinyl, paper, and other static-generating materials from the work area.
• Use tools that do not create ESD.
Setting up your System
Complete the following steps to set up your system:
1. Unpack the system.
2. Remove the I/O connector cover from the system connectors.
Note: Caution! While installing the system, ensure that it is properly aligned with the slot on the
enclosure to prevent damage to the system connectors.
3. Install the system in the enclosure.
4. Turn on the enclosure.
Note: Wait for the chassis to initialize before you press the power button.
5. Press the power button on the system.
Alternatively, you can also turn on the system by using:
• The system IPMI.
• The enclosure Chassis Management Controller (CMC), after the system IPMI is configured on the CMC.
CloudEOS and vEOS Physical Appliance Setup
You may need the following items to perform the procedures in this section:
• Key to the system key-lock.
• #1 and #2 Phillips screwdriver.
• Wrist grounding strap connected to ground.
• Rack mount kit instructions located in the shipping box.
Before working inside your system
1. Turn off the system, including all attached peripherals.
2. Disconnect the system from the electrical outlet and disconnect the peripherals.
3. Remove the system cover.
Front Bezel
Complete the following tasks to remove the front bezel.
CloudEOS and vEOS Router Appliance Guide

Figure 2: Front Bezel
1. Unlock the key-lock at the left end of the bezel.
2. Lift the release latch next to the keylock.
3. Rotate the left end of the bezel away from the front panel.
4. Unhook the right end of the bezel and pull the bezel away from the system.
Locate the MAC Addresses for the Arista CloudEOS and vEOS Router Appliance
The information tag is a slide-out label which contains system information such as Service Tag, NIC, MAC
address for your reference. Record the MAC addresses in the CloudEOS and vEOS Router Worksheet.

Back Panel Ethernet Connections
On the back panel of theArista CloudEOS and vEOS RouterAppliance, locate the Ethernet Integrated 10/100/1000
Mbps NIC connectors. The appliance has four physical 1G ports --- NIC1/2/3/4. NIC1 and NIC2 are aggregated

to a bounded interface device0 in 802.3ad mode. So they need to be connected to a network device supporting
LACP.
The appliance has four physical 10G ports --- 10GB1/2/3/4 those are configured in SR-IOV mode. Each port
is partitioned into 32 SR-IOV Virtual Functions to provide a total of 128 virtual interfaces for CloudEOS and
vEOS instances on the appliance. Each CloudEOS and vEOS instance can be assigned up to four virtual
functions/interfaces. You may optionally configure a VLAN to be used for each virtual interface. The VLAN
configuration allows separation of broadcast domain for traffic in and out of each physical port.

An Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) provides a GUI-based out-of-band interface for monitoring
the hardware appliance.
Record the IP address and Hostname information in CloudEOS and vEOS Router Appliance Worksheet.
DNS Entries
In order to manage your CloudEOS cluster, it is often easier to connect to them by hostname as opposed to IP
address. Fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) should be allocated to:
• Each of the Arista CloudEOS and vEOS Router Appliance host machines.
• Each of the Arista CloudEOS and vEOS Router Appliance IPMI interfaces.
Contact your DNS zone administrator for assistance.
Arista CloudEOS and vEOS Router Appliance IP Configuration
TheArista CloudEOS and vEOS RouterAppliance Host and IPMI IP addresses can be allocated in either of
two ways:
Option 1: Using an available DHCP server
• DHCP Based IP Address Setup DHCP Based IP Address Setup.
•Web Access into Host via IPMI Web Access into System IPMI.
Option 2: Manual configuration (Requires terminal connected toVGA port)
• Manual IP Address Setup Manual IP Address Setup.
•Web Access into Host via IPMI Web Access into System IPMI.
DHCP Based IP Address Setup
IPMI IP Address
Using the IPMI MAC from Locate the MAC Addresses for the Arista CloudEOS and vEOS Router Appliance,
input an entry into the DHCP Server for the corresponding IPMI IP address mapping to that MAC.
9
Preparation

Host IP Address
Using the HOST NIC1 MAC from Locate the MAC Addresses for the Arista CloudEOS and vEOS Router
Appliance, input an entry into the DHCP Server for the corresponding HOST IP address mapping to that MAC.
Turn the system on by pressing the power button located on the front of the system.
Figure 6: Power On Button Location
Manual IP Address Setup
Note:
Direct IPAddress Setup requires a terminal connected to the VGA port of the appliance. This section can
be skipped if the Host and IPMI IP addresses have been configured with a DHCP server.
IPMI IP Address
The IPMI IP address can be manually configured via the host's bash shell using the racadm tool.
The racadm commands below are sequence dependent and must be entered in the following order.
1. Using the attached terminal and keyboard, log in as user “root” and with default password “arista”.
2. Disable all IPMI related DHCP configuration.
racadm set iDRAC.IPv4.DHCPEnable 0
racadm set iDRAC.IPv4.DNSFromDHCP 0
racadm set iDRAC.NIC.DNSDomainFromDHCP 0
3. Configure the IP network settings for the IPMI interface.
racadm set iDRAC.NIC.Enable 1
racadm set iDRAC.IPv4.Address <iDRAC-IP>
racadm set iDRAC.IPv4.Netmask <iDRAC-MASK>
racadm set iDRAC.IPv4.Gateway <iDRAC-GW>
4. Configure the DNS settings for the IPMI interface.
racadm set iDRAC.IPv4.DNS1 <iDRAC-DNS1>
racadm set iDRAC.IPv4.DNS2 <iDRAC-DNS2>
racadm set iDRAC.NIC.DNSRacName <iDRAC-NAME>
racadm set iDRAC.NIC.DNSDomainName <iDRAC-DOMAIN.NAME>
5. Verify the configuration by running the following command.
racadm getSysInfo
Host IP Address
The host IP address can be manually configured by using the host's bash shell. In order for the settings to be
persistent, the following configuration must be completed.
