Any of the 10G ports can be run at 1G. Likewise, any of the 100G
ports can be broken out to 4 x 10G, 4 x 25G, 1? x 40G, 2 x 50G or 1 x 100G.
with the correct breakout cables.

I think that would be the best course of action. Right now that is
dual-10G connected to the main 10G switch stack.

Yes, SFP+ form factor for 10G. QSFP for higher speeds.

Arista says they will disable the vendor lockin on the optics for this deployment.
