    1. Login as admin;
    2. Enable privileged access;
    3. Go to the bash shell;
    4. Touch the filename /mnt/flash/enable3px;
    5. Reboot the switch.

    Below is a session from EOS-4.11.6:

    localhost login: admin
localhost>ena
localhost#bash

Arista Networks EOS shell

[admin@localhost ~]$ touch /mnt/flash/enable3px
[admin@localhost ~]$ sudo reboot

  2. The enable3px file is a dummy file. You can create a 0kb txt and rename it "enable3px" and it will work all the same. Hope this helps.

    This method seems to have been disabled per arista EOS 11.3
