What is the command to enable 3rd party SFP+ transceivers on Arista switch?
Does anyone know the command that enables the usage of 3rd party SFP+ on an Arista 7148S switch?
Solution 1:
- Login as admin;
- Enable privileged access;
- Go to the bash shell;
- Touch the filename /mnt/flash/enable3px;
- Reboot the switch.
Below is a session from EOS-4.11.6:
localhost login: admin
localhost>ena
localhost#bash
Arista Networks EOS shell
[admin@localhost ~]$ touch /mnt/flash/enable3px
[admin@localhost ~]$ sudo reboot
Solution 2:
The enable3px file is a dummy file. You can create a 0kb txt and rename it "enable3px" and it will work all the same. Hope this helps.
This method seems to have been disabled per arista EOS 11.3
