VIRTIO & Linux Bridging Deployment
vEOS can employ para-virtualized network I/O interfaces, which in Linux KVM is also known as Virtio . Each
NIC is connected to a unique underlying Linux layer-2 bridge in the hypervisor which in-turn provides access
to an uplink.
In this example,
• Ethernet1 connects to the physical Ethernet port that connects to the WAN through a LinuxBridge. The Router
is configured with a WAN IP address on this port.
• Ethernet2 connects to the physical ethernet port that connects to the LAN through a LinuxBridge.
• Server IP address in the diagram is assumed to be configured on the LAN LinuxBridge device.
Note: Arista recommends using Ethernet1 for WAN and Ethernet2 for LAN. However, any vEOS port can be
used.
