RE: 10GBase-t switch

Hi,

> Do the Arista switches support netflow?

nothing about it in the datasheets, and regarding documentation:

"A registered account and a valid support contract is
required to access the
Software Download and Documentation section of the website."

Service fail.

After Brocade started doing that with the Foundry
docs, which hung me out to dry one night when I
needed some docs I didn't have easy access to, I
decided I will try to avoid buying from companies
that require a support contract to read the manual.

I will likely never buy or recommend Foundry equipment again. In a previous gig, a HPC enviorment, they caused us many problems, support was horrible, and thier 10Gbit kit was the pits when it was first released (no idea how it is now or what they offer, its been 5 years since. burnt once, twice shy). We replaced most all our Foundry L2 gear with HP 8212s which met our expectations.

Brocade is the king of license gouging, it is no surprise they want money to view a pdf.

Force10 and Extreme are both having sales this month on 24 port 10Gbit switches, $20k off almost.

To be fair, Foundry removed their manuals from public view a good few
years ago, long before Brocade came on the scene. It annoyed me too.
