I disagree, I’m pretty sure it’s just custom ASICs.

Wait, they don’t use ASICs at all? That’s surprising!

I thought they used both? Seems like a mix.

I’m pretty certain that Arista does use ASICs, but I can't recall if it's just one type or both. This is tricky!

I’m leaning towards option B, custom ASICs, but I feel like I might be mixing it up with another vendor's approach.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I believe they use both merchant silicon and custom ASICs. It’s a bit confusing though.

I think Arista uses custom ASICs, but I'm not entirely sure. I remember something about their hardware being optimized for performance.

Wait, I'm a little confused now. I thought Arista used merchant silicon, but the question is asking about ASICs. I'll have to review my notes on Arista's architecture before answering this.

Okay, I've got this. Arista is all about high-performance networking, so they definitely use custom ASICs to achieve that. I'm confident option B is the right answer.

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this one. I know Arista uses specialized hardware, but I can't remember if it's merchant silicon or custom ASICs. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I think this is a pretty straightforward question. Arista is known for using custom ASICs, so I'm going to go with option B.

I'm leaning towards using a copy of the previous workflow. That way we know the workflow is already set up correctly, we just need to update the dates.

Ugh, I hate these PXE boot problems. I'm just going to go with option C and abandon the network boot - don't want to waste time troubleshooting this.
