DUT Endpoints


There are features and functions used in Arista NetVisor UNUM and Insight Analytics that are common throughout the user interface (UI). Please refer to the Common Functions section for more information on the use of these functions and features.


DUT (Device Under Test) Endpoints allows the lab network administrator to configure ports connected to tools and devices under test, primarily intended for lab automation. Custom descriptions are permitted and searchable.

To configure DUT, use the Cog icon and select Add Device Under Test.


Note: The following example covers adding a DUT to a single node for simplicity.


A FRG (Fabric Resource Group) may be selected and assigned to the DUT. Refer to the Manage Groups section to create, use and manage Fabric Resource Groups (FRG).


Enter the required parameters that include:


Switch – Select the switch from the drop-down list of devices.

PortEnter a port value or select ports using the interactive port selector.

DescriptionEnter a description for the DUT.


Note: Attempting to use or modify non-flexed ports results in an error.


Select the DUT Options: Edit Configuration or Project. Please refer to the Settings - Projects section for more information on creating projects.


When selecting Edit Configuration, a variety of Attributes and Values are available. Specifying the attribute and its associated value and clicking Apply builds the DUT configuration.


Attributes include:


FRG – Select a Fabric Resource Group from the drop-down list.

Speed – Select the required port speed value from the drop-down list.

Config State – Enable or disable from the drop-down list.

Autoneg – Enable or disable from the drop-down list.

Jumbo – Enable or disable from the drop-down list.

CRC-check – Enable or disable from the drop-down list.


Click the icon to add additional DUT.

Add a VirtualWire to DUT


To add a VirtualWire to the DUT, use the Cog icon and select Add VirtualWire.


Dashboards VirtualWire - Device Under Test - Add VirtualWire


A FRG (Fabric Resource Group) may be selected and assigned to the VirtualWire. Refer to the Manage Groups section to create, use and manage Fabric Resource Groups (FRG).


Enter the required parameters that include:


NameEnter a description for the VirtualWire.

Node 1 – Select the switch from the drop-down list of devices.

Node 2 – Select the switch from the drop-down list of devices.

Port 1Enter a port value or select ports using the interactive port selector.

Port 2Enter a port value or select ports using the interactive port selector.


Select the VirtualWire Options that include:


P2MP – Allows the creation of a point-to-multi-point or one-to-many VirtualWire (e.g., sharing a traffic generator across many devices). Example.

CRC/Runt Error Transport – Makes a point-to-point VirtualWire transparent to CRC errors and Runt (under-size) frames. Example.

Monitor Mode – Provides the ability to mirror the traffic on the VirtualWire to one or more remote monitoring/security tools. Example.

Add Traffic Filter – Allows the basic filtering of VirtualWire traffic based on a 5-tuple (VLAN, Source IP, Destination IP, Protocol, L4 Port) list. Example.

Expiration Date – Adds a timer to the VirtualWire, which upon expiration will automatically delete the VirtualWire and free up the resources. Example.

ProjectPlease refer to the Settings - Projects section for more information on creating projects.
