Re: arista full tables recommendation

[Kevin Shymkiw <kshymkiw () gmail com>]

Alex,

For that kind scale products in the 7280R3 family with the extra memory (K)
SKU’s would be the best fit.

If you need chassis then it would be the 7800R3 chassis products.

This of course assumes new units and not buying resale products.
