Hi. You can find the software by some googling. :) There is lots of guides out there, Arista have the EOS software manual online without login. Also lots of good YouTube courses available for Arista. If you worked with Cisco, it will be no hassle at all. We migrated from Cisco to Arista with minimal changes. Arista takes many Cisco commands and convert them to Aristas commands/syntaxes We also considered MikroTik when looking for a new platform. Found cheap Aristas, bought a couple as test (32x 40G for USD 3-400/ea), got them, booted up, played around, then looking for more Aristas that fit our needs. We have since upgraded and just started using VXLAN (which was not planned from the beginning, but it's there and it solved a customer requirement :) ). -------------------------- 100TB.se Dedicated servers for all!

Hi.
Would recommend taking a look at: Arista DCS-7280SR-48C6 (6x 100G + 48x 10G SFP+) available at around USD 2,000 (eBay) Arista DCS-7280QR-C36 (12x 100G + 24x 40G (can be split to 4x10, or use QSFP-SFP+ adapters for single SFP+) available for around USD 1,800 (eBay)
There is many more models available. Arista is good HW, supports MPLS and VXLAN.
Can a non-Arista customer (without support contract) access docs, KB, bug database and software updates just by making an account on arista.com or is a support contract always required?
Thanks,
