It requires the use of MAC ACLs on 7020R Series, 7280R/R2 Series, and 7500R/R2 Series systems and IP ACLs on 7280R3 Series, 7500R3 Series, and 7800R3 Series systems. In both cases, a TCAM profile update is also required. Note that TCAM profile update is a disruptive operation that could impact traffic forwarding. More information can be found in\u00a0 User-defined TCAM Profiles https://www.arista.com/en/support/toi/eos-4-26-0f/14755-user-defined-tcam-profiles .\n\n7020R Series, 7280R/R2 Series, and 7500R/R2 Series\n\nMitigation involves using MAC ACLs to allow specific expected protocol packets and block all other traffic to the configured decap IPs. The suggested MAC ACLs use User Defined Fields (UDFs) to match on specific fields in the packet headers. This requires a TCAM profile update to include the following UDF qualifiers:\n\n * For IPv4 tunnels, 2 16b and 1 32b UDF qualifiers need to be included.\n * For IPv6 tunnels, 2 16b and 4 32b UDF qualifiers need to be included.\n\n\nHowever, in order to make room for the UDF qualifiers, other TCAM features/qualifiers must be removed due to hardware constraints.
