They support v6 at layer2, you just can't use it at layer3 except for
static routes. I have Arista 7100's in service today in a v6 network.
They aggregate several Brocade FCX top of rack switches in one cage and
link to my core on a different cage. They work quite well. Though I
have to admit, I do have an application today where a pair of 7100's
would be perfect of they did v6 layer3 in HW.
But maybe I can run Quagga on it? They don't need to do THAT much L3
routing but do need OSPF for v6.
