I learned a few things about #Arista switches in the process. - there's a full linux OS underneath, you can run anything on it, including plain bash - the `aboot` loader also has bash - there are 2 versions of the aboot loader with different zip formats used for loading EOS - I couldn't upgrade the older boot loader to a newer one - but you can repackage the newer one in the older format yourself Their API & config setup is a pleasure to use in comparison to the fs.com ones I've got locally. Much more accessible and comprehensive documentation.
