At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I’m asking for product
suggestions yet again:



We’re wondering if anything small & cheap (think CPE-grade) exists that
supports either IS-IS or VXLAN?



If IS-IS, total route count it would have to carry would be small,
probably in the ~500 range.

If VXLAN, it needs to interoperate with Arista.

If both… yay!



Hi Adam,

A very late answer on that topic. You could look at VyOS devices
compatible, VXLAN is working on the 1.4 rolling release. No idea about the
timeline for this version to become the main train.

We've shared an article on our lab tests of VyOS/Arista/Cumulus VX interop
in a EVPN VXLAN bgp/bgp fabric, it could help you in your research :

When I say CPE-grade, I mean under C$1k (~US$800, ~€700), and can be
emplaced at a customer site without any unusual infrastructure (e.g. no
-48VDC power, or DIN rail mounting, non-business-office-typical).



You should find something which fits your needs here :
