Monitoring Network Router Hardware with Arista Networks

To integrate Network Router Hardware and Arista Networks with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Network Router Hardware and Arista Networks and how that can support your monitoring system.

Routers are networking devices that forward data packets between computer networks. They help transmit packets to their destinations by using different network topologies, and perform the traffic directing functions on the Internet.

A data packet is usually forwarded from one router to another router through the internet until it reaches its destination node. When a data packet comes in on one of the lines, the router reads the network address information. This is located in the packet header and is used to determine the ultimate destination. The router then uses its information in its routing table or routing policy in order to direct the packet to the next network on its journey.

By using one of three standard protocols, Routers usually communicate routing and other information. These protocols are Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) or Open Shortest Path First (OSPF). 

Arista Networks is an American computer networking company. Founded in 2004, they are now based in California, US. Arista provides a range of network hardware products, for example, multilayer network switches to deliver software-defined networking (SDN) solutions.

These are designed for large datacenter, high-performance computing, cloud computing, and high-frequency trading environments. They also provide a linux-based operating system for all their products named Extensible Operating System (EOS). Being a major competitor in the networking industry, Arista is considered among the best in this market.
