Hi, Thanks for the at hands on experience .
Interested at 7280cr2k. But based on thi, its no longer listed Looks like its already replaced with something else. https://www.arista.com/en/products/platforms Im still did not understand arista model naming convention. What about 7280SR3-40YC6 ? Is the control plane able to handle The closest thing with CR2K is 7280CR3-32P4. 7280sr3 did not mention bgp table, but mention these: Cloud Networking Ready • Up to 384K MAC Addresses • Over 2M IPv4 Unicast Routes • Over 5M IPv4 Routes with 7280R3K • Algorithmic ACLs for 100K+ rules Routing table is ok, but bgp table im not sure. Thx.
