I now have a working #IEEE #1588 hardware-corrected #time sync setup using an #Intel #I226V card. No #Arista switch required. FreeBSD #ptpd slave sees #linuxptp master. Yet to test with the #NVidia #Mellanox #ConnectX-4 LX clients in #FreeBSD though. #BeagleBone Black support appears broken. Awaiting a #SiRFStar IV USB #GPS with alleged #PPS capability, and yet to recover my #GPSDO unit from my aunt's attic in Fife.

Crazy. Considering a (near-to-mid) future upgrade of our house network to 10 gigabit. Most switches are in the multi-thousand-Euro range, and have only SFP+ ports (for which you need transceivers, which are not 1000Base-T downwards compatible), but there is currently an abundance of used #Arista 48-port 10GBase-T switches for under 200€. I wonder what the catch is. Licensing? Or power consumption?

I've now spent many hours trying to solve a problem with my first #Arista, a DCS-7010T-48 TOR switch. My knowledge is mostly Cisco but I wanted to dabble a bit with Arista to compare. As far as I can tell, the switch boots OK but none of the 48 ethernet access ports are present. No controller/supervisor shows in the inventory. I don't think they're just shut/disabled but I can't find that right EOS (4.29.0.2F) commands to diagnose this further. It's frustrating. ->
