-------------------- Disable Zero Touch Provisioning ------------------ Since your lab doesn’t have a DHCP/TFTP server, vEOS keeps trying ZTP and failing: Failed to get a valid DHCPv4 response Retrying Zero Touch Provisioning This is 100% normal in EVE-NG with no ZTP server. localhost(config)# no zerotouch enable localhost(config)# write memory Copy completed successfully. On some newer Arista EOS versions (4.30+ and 4.35+ like yours) the command is different. conf t zerotouch mode disabled end write memory localhost(config)#show ip interface brief Address Interface IP Address Status Protocol MTU Owner ---------------- --------------- ------------ -------------- ---------- ------- Management1 unassigned up up 1500 In vEOS-lab (Arista in EVE-NG), you need to manually assign IP addresses to Management or Ethernet interfaces to make them usable. ✅ Step 1 — Assign an IP to Management1 Example, if your EVE-NG host is on 192.168.1.0/24: How to make Ethernet interfaces appear again Example: Assign IPs manually message received: ! IP configuration will be ignored while interface EthernetX is not a routed port. In Arista EOS, Ethernet interfaces are L2 (switchports) by default. You cannot assign IP addresses to interfaces in switchport mode. The ip address command is only allowed on routed ports. So your config is being ignored because your interfaces are still in L2 mode. ✅ How to fix — make Ethernet a routed port You need to switch the interface to routed mode: !
