Are there guidelines available how to pre-configure an Arista switch and which minimum privilege level is required, so that our DataMiner connector can retrieve and set all parameters? Our connector uses a mix of protocols, e.g. SNMP, eAPI, syslog etc...

Hi Thomas,

Our help currently doesn't have a set of commands/features that need to be enabled on the switch to establish all required communication. The connector will indeed mainly require that SNMP and eAPI communication is enabled.

Note that some functionality, for example setting up receival of sflow, can be configured in the element itself once basic communication has been established.

I did take note of this so we can further improve our documentation.
