Hi Ondrej,

Thanks for the tip !

I also notified Arista and the fix should be available on the next EOS release (4.16) \
during Q1 2016.

No, there is no configurable option for that, you could change that in the source, \
replacing RTPROT_BIRD for RTPROT_STATIC in sysdep/linux/netlink.c (2 occurences)

Or urge Arista to fix that in their software.
