How many 1G ports are on the Arista?
Any of the 10G ports can be run at 1G. Likewise, any of the 100G ports can be broken out to 4 x 10G, 4 x 25G, 1? x 40G, 2 x 50G or 1 x 100G. with the correct breakout cables.
Would we continue to use the original switch for 1G ports?
I think that would be the best course of action. Right now that is dual-10G connected to the main 10G switch stack.
Do the existing switch and Arista support the same form-factor optics?
Yes, SFP+ form factor for 10G. QSFP for higher speeds.
i.e. Is there a requirement to purchase new optics to be connected to the new switch under your proposal?
Arista says they will disable the vendor lockin on the optics for this deployment. -- Doug McIntyre <merlyn@iphouse.net> ~.~ ipHouse ~.~ Network Engineer/Provisioning/Jack of all Trades
