aristaHardwareUtilizationMIB 1.3.6.1.4.1.30065.3.22
This MIB contains information about the capacity and utilization of hardware resources on Arista devices. Arista ships and supports devices which perform packet forwarding decisions in hardware. To make these forwarding decisions (L2 bridging, input and output access list, L3 forwarding based on IP destination etc.), the devices use information programmed in various hardware resources. Examples of such hardware resources are the hash table used for MAC address lookup, TCAM for destination IP lookup etc. Each of Arista's devices have different hardware resource capacity or size limits. It is extremely useful for a Network Management system to be able to query and monitor the utilization of these hardware resources. Due to unxpected network event or configuration change, it is possible that a specific hardware resource is over utilized and there is no room to program additional entries. For example, a routing mis-configuration can result in overflowing the L3 forwarding TCAM. This may be detrimental to the network operation. So it's extremely useful to monitor the utilization of the various hardware resources of a specific device. On some devices, due to hardware design considerations, several features may have to share a single hardware resource. If one feature ends up using more of the same resource, it can affect the functionality of another feature. This is another reason to have visibility into the hardware resource usage. The hardware element that makes the forwarding decision is frequently referred to as the 'Forwarding ASIC' or 'Forwarding Chip'. In this MIB document we refer to this hardware element as 'Forwarding Element'. Even though a device can have multiple forwarding elements, the information programmed in each of the forwarding element is typically the same. But there are some cases, where this is not the case. In such instances, the utilization of relevant hardware resource(s) may not be the same across all the forwarding elements. This MIB module provides the hardware capacity and utilization information for various resources in a generic manner, that's applicable to all Arista devices.

  SEQUENCE OF  
    AristaHardwareUtilizationEntry

aristaHardwareUtilizationEntry 1.3.6.1.4.1.30065.3.22.1.1.1
A single conceptual row containing utilization information for a specific hardware resource. There are many hardware resources on Arista devices. Each resource is identified by a name. Several 'features' can be using the same hardware resource. Every feature is identified by a name. On several platforms, we have more than one forwarding elements which is identified by a name. A single conceptual row in the hardware utilization table represents utilization of a specific hardware resource by a specific feature on the specified forwarding element. Note that it is possible to have an entry where feature and forwarding element are both empty strings. In these cases, the conceptual row describes the overall utilization for the particular hardware resource.

aristaHardwareUtilizationFeature 1.3.6.1.4.1.30065.3.22.1.1.1.2
The name that identifies the specific feature which is using the hardware resource in question. As noted in the description of this MIB module, multiple features can share a specific hardware resource.

aristaHardwareUtilizationForwardingElement 1.3.6.1.4.1.30065.3.22.1.1.1.3
The name that identifies the specific forwarding element on the device that this hardware resource belongs to. As noted in the description of this MIB module, for some features information is programmed differently across various forwarding elements. In such cases, this MIB object represents the forwarding element that corresponds to this entry's hardware resource utilization. Otherwise this MIB object will just be an empty string.

aristaHardwareUtilizationCommittedEntries 1.3.6.1.4.1.30065.3.22.1.1.1.6
This MIB object represents the number of entries of a hardware resource that have been dedicated ('reserved') for a particular feature. When features 'request' for a specific hardware resource, entries are 'reserved' for the feature. It is possible that the actual number of entries used is less than what has been reserved for the feature.

aristaHardwareUtilizationMaxEntries 1.3.6.1.4.1.30065.3.22.1.1.1.7
This MIB object represents the maximum number of 'logical' entries that can be allocated for the given hardware resource by the specific feature (assuming it is not being shared with any other feature). Even though the raw number of maximum entries is fixed for a given hardware resource, the logical entries available to a specific feature may vary. An example: Consider a device where the width ('number of bits') of a single TCAM entry is 128. It is possible to store an IPv4 access control list (matching both source and destination addresses) using a single entry of this TCAM. But given that IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long, 2 TCAM entries will be required to store an equivalent IPv6 access control list. In this example above, the 'maximum number of entries' available for the IPv4 feature is twice the number for the IPv6 feature.
