and real-time network monitoring purposes

Supports the following congestion actions: strict priority (SP) queuing and deficit weighted round robin (DWRR)

• High availability for campus core

Aruba Virtual Switching Extension* (VSX) is a high availability technology solution designed using the best features of
existing HA technologies such as Multi-chassis Link Aggregation (MC-LAG) and Virtual Switching Framework (VSF).
Aruba VSX enables a distributed and redundant architecture that is highly available during upgrades inherently by
architecture design. High availability is delivered through redundancy gained by deploying two chassis in the core with
each chassis maintaining its independent control yet staying synchronizing information via the ArubaOS-CX unique
database architecture.

• Bidirectional forward detection (BFD)

Enable sub-second failure detection for rapid routing protocol re-balancing

• VRRP

Allows groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments

• Unidirectional link detection (UDLD)

Monitors link connectivity and shuts down ports at both ends if unidirectional traffic is detected, preventing loops in STP­based networks

• IEEE 802.3ad LACP

Supports up to 128 link aggregation groups (LAGs), each with eight links per LAG; and provides support for static or
dynamic groups and a user-selectable hashing algorithm

• Redundant power supplies

Provides N+1 high reliability with hot swappable, redundant power supplies

-CX 10.1 release.

Enables tunneling traffic from site to site over a Layer 3 path

• Management interface control

Enables or disables each of the following interfaces depending on security preferences: console port, or reset button

• Industry-standard CLI with a hierarchical structure

Reduces training time and expenses, and increases productivity in multivendor installations

• Management security

SNMP access; local and remote syslog capabilities allow logging of all access

• SNMP v2c/v3

Provides SNMP read and trap support of industry standard Management Information Base (MIB), and private extensions

• sFlow® (RFC 3176)

Provides scalable ASIC-based wire speed network monitoring and accounting with no impact on network performance;

Provides a set of tools to improve the performance of IPv4 networks; includes directed broadcasts, customization of TCP
parameters, support of ICMP error packets, and extensive display capabilities

• Static IPv6 routing

Provides simple manually configured IPv6 routing

• Dual IP stack

Maintains separate stacks for IPv4 and IPv6 to ease the transition from an IPv4-only network to an IPv6-only network
design

The Aruba 8320, a TAA compliant product, with the ArubaOS-CX uses FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography for protection
of sensitive information

• Access control list (ACL)

Supports powerful ACLs for both IPv4 and IPv6; ACLs are used for filtering traffic to prevent unauthorized users from
accessing the network, or for controlling network traffic to save resources; rules can either deny or permit traffic to be
forwarded; rules can be based on a Layer 2 header or a Layer 3 protocol header

• Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS)

Eases security access administration by using a password authentication server

• Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System (TACACS+)

Delivers an authentication tool using TCP with encryption of the full authentication request, providing additional security
