EOS device facts

Experimental. conn3x_eos_device reads facts about an Arista EOS switch over SSH when you plan, from show version and show hostname, so a circuit can refuse a switch it wasn’t written for.

data "conn3x_eos_device" "leaf1" {
  ssh {
    host             = "10.0.0.11"
    user             = "ops"
    private_key_file = "~/.ssh/id_ed25519"
  }
}

output "leaf1_version" {
  value = data.conn3x_eos_device.leaf1.version
}

It takes the same ssh block as a circuit, with host set to the switch’s address, and checks the host key the same way. The login has to start privileged; see The login.

Name	Type	Description
`hostname`	string	The switch’s hostname.
`model`	string	The model, such as `DCS-7050SX3-48YC8`, or `cEOSLab`.
`version`	string	The EOS version as `show version` prints it, such as `4.37.0F`.
