Yeah, it is.

I think someone from Arista said...
"We are never going to lose an affair due to not supporting 3-d party optics, but we will try to convince the customer to buy our stuff, since that's what we do, we sell stuff". In these cheap arista switches, filling them with optics (if the optics is from ANET themselves) is usually the same cost as buying like five switches, so of course they want a share of that and they will try to convince you that 3rd party optics will make the switch go up in flames etc etc.
So its kinda easy... just present three choices.

Arista is an x86 Fedora box right?

Get someone to make a keygen.
