Re: Arista Switches rebooting

Hi,
Has anyone had issues with Arista switches rebooting out of the blue, when there isn't even a sufficient load on them 
to be a CPU or memory issue?
We have a couple Arista 7280s both SR and CR that have had this behaviour, this is the second time we see this issue 
and just wanted to see if this is something anyone else is experiencing with this platfrom
Thanks,

We found a bug on the 64 port x 100gig model that if you insert a quad twinax 10gig fanout cable in many of the ports it will trigger a reboot.

Some select ports are okay and supported, but the ones that are not would trigger a reset. Issue was immediate to the cable being inserted. No idea if this was patched or not.
