Arista CVX on VirtualBox

So, the next thing to do, set up CVX on Arista.

I'm setting Spine1 as the CVX manager.

configuration was quite simple thanks to Mo from Arista:

spine1(config)#cvx
spine1(config-­‐cvx)#no shutdown

spine1(config)#management api http-­‐commands
spine1(config-­‐mgmt-­‐api-­‐http-­‐cmds)#no shutdown
spine1(config-­‐mgmt-­‐api-­‐http-­‐cmds)#no protocol http
spine1(config-­‐mgmt-­‐api-­‐http-­‐cmds)#protocol https


Here's the drop in config for all of the other switches:

en
config t
management cvx
server host 10.0.0.251
no shutdown
end
wr

Logging back into the spine1 switch, here's the review.

If it doesn't work, verify lldp!

Verify you can ping around the loopbacks  (make sure you source icmp)

Next opportunity, I'll mess with VxLAN a bit.
