Its always useful to be able to inspect traffic remotely, and the Aruba OS-CX software platform switches provides this functionality. This guide will demonstrate how to monitor ICMP traffic received or transmitted by a single host connected to one of the switch ports. First we need to configure a Mirror

I've already done a How-To for upgrading code on Aruba OS-CX switches available here. However I thought it was worth a couple of lines about mounting a USB device to enable code installs when the switch is offline. Once the USB device is inserted in the port we

Its time to perform some upgrades across the Aruba switching estate. These switches run the Aruba OS-CX code rather than the older Aruba OS code base. First, lets just confirm the platform. Aruba# sh system Hostname : Aruba System Description : FL.10.05.0021 System Contact : System Location : Vendor : Aruba Product

OSPF configuration is simple on Aruba, with a few simple differences between OS-CX and Cisco’s approach. Once both configured though, the two vendors equipment works very well, just as expected. For clarity, to confirm the current OSPF state we can check to see if it is running. I’ve

Adding the basics of a VRF configuration to an ArubaOS-CX is both simple, and very similar to other vendors platforms. In the example below we are adding a VRF called FWTEST and assigning two SVI’s to it along with a Loopback. First we can see what VRFs are already

Aruba VSF (Virtual Switch Framework) on the Aruba CX line of switches provides the ability to manage a number of switches (upto 10 from memory) as a single virtual network node. This simple How-To gives a quick overview of an addition and removal of a switch to/from a stack.
