FAQs

Q: Which Arista switch platforms is the DCS-7001-SUP-L compatible with?
A: The DCS-7001-SUP-L is designed exclusively for Arista 7280R4 Series 2RU data center switch router platforms. Always verify chassis compatibility with your Arista account team or refer to the 7280R4 Series datasheet before ordering.

Q: Can the supervisor module be replaced without taking the switch offline?
A: Yes. The DCS-7001-SUP-L is a field-replaceable hot-swap module that can be replaced by a single engineer in minutes without disconnecting network cabling or removing the chassis from the rack, significantly reducing Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) in dual-supervisor configurations.

Q: Why does this supervisor module require 64GB RAM and 480GB NVMe storage?
A: The generous RAM and NVMe storage support advanced Arista EOS feature sets including large routing table capacity (up to 5 million routes with FlexRoute), streaming telemetry data collection, detailed system logging, and automation workloads that are typical in modern high-performance data center and cloud environments.

Q: What advanced EOS features does the DCS-7001-SUP-L support?
A: The supervisor module supports the full Arista EOS feature set including Layer 2/3 switching and routing, EVPN-VXLAN overlay networking, MLAG, ECMP, Internet-scale routing with FlexRoute, streaming telemetry, precision timing (PTP), network automation APIs, CloudVision integration, and advanced traffic monitoring with DANZ and LANZ.

Q: Is secure boot enabled on this module?
A: Yes. Secure boot is enabled by default on the DCS-7001-SUP-L, providing enhanced platform integrity and security by ensuring only trusted, digitally signed Arista software can run on the control plane, protecting against unauthorized firmware or software tampering.
