The AOS-CX switch is equipped with a proprietary analytics engine called the Network Analytics Engine (NAE). The NAE is a unique built-in analytics framework used for network assurance and troubleshooting. The NAE Agent is provided by HPE Aruba and is essentially a Python script for monitoring switch resources and protocol status. However, in this post, we will discuss a topic that does not require knowledge of scripts…
In the previous post, we examined the physical security and Management Plane security of the AOS-CX switch. This time, we will discuss the security of the Control Plane of the AOS-CX switch. The content of both the previous and current posts is based on official information found on the HPE website. Go to AOS-CX 10.15 Hardening Guide (All Switch Series) Control Plane Security Control…
Awareness of network security is growing. Traditional network security mostly involved configuring IP address-based firewalls. However, as numerous applications and systems are now connected to networks, the security of network switches is becoming increasingly important. As networks become more complex and interconnected, interest in the security settings of each switch is rising…
In the previous post, we looked into what RoCE is and why it is necessary. Now, let's explore how to implement RoCE on AOS-CX switches. To configure RoCEv2 on HPE Aruba Networking CX switches, the following items are required. As of March 2025, the supported switch series are the CX 10000, 9300, 8400, 8360, 8325, and 8100. RoCE…
Today, mission-critical storage environments require higher consistency, predictability, and performance to meet high business demands. Data centers require more I/O capacity to accommodate vast amounts of data, applications, and workloads. Along with this surge in data, overall expectations for availability continue to rise. Now, users…
In the last two posts, we explored the basic configuration of the AOS-CX switch family and how to check entered commands. This time, we will look at the commands necessary for switch maintenance. I have already covered the maintenance commands while writing ACSA training content. However, today, I will explain them focusing more on CLI commands….
Continuing from the previous post, I would like to cover some more in-depth content this time. We will look at the commands needed to configure the functions required for actual network operations in the field. VLAN Configuration: The method for creating and configuring VLANs and VLAN interfaces in AOS-CX is as follows. While it is possible to configure a single VLAN, using the Range command allows you to easily create and assign multiple VLANs…
HPE Aruba Networking's wired mainstream is the AOS-CX switch. It is a product that goes beyond traditional switching capabilities to pursue cloud-native capabilities through a microservices architecture. Not only can it monitor and analyze various metrics and logs in real-time through its internal database, but it also supports REST APIs for all switch functions, allowing for large-scale… via Ansible or Python.
AOS-CX switch products provide powerful hardware and a smart operating system for building data center networks. These switches offer high performance and flexibility across a variety of models, while enhancing management efficiency, offering an optimized solution for the demands of modern data centers.

In the previous post, we looked at the device management methods provided by Aruba Central. We examined the Group method among the three options: Group, Site, and Label. This time, we will explore the remaining two methods: Site and Label. Site: A Site refers to a physical location where a series of devices are installed, such as a campus, branch, or place. A site is…
