PRODUCT DIFFERENTIATORS

AOS-CX - a modern software system

The Aruba CX 8325 Switch Series is based on AOS-CX, a

modern, database-driven operating system that automates

and simplies many critical and complex network tasks.

A built-in time series database enables customers and

developers to utilize software scripts for historical

troubleshooting, as well as analysis of past trends. This helps

predict and avoid future problems due to scale, security, and

performance bottlenecks.

Our AOS-CX software also includes Aruba Network Analytics

Engine (NAE) and support for Aruba NetEdit. Because AOS-

CX is built on a modular Linux architecture with a stateful

managing Aruba CX switches for any size project. Switch

information can also be imported into Aruba NetEdit for

simplied conguration management and to continuously

validate the conformance of congurations anywhere in the

network. The Aruba CX Mobile App is available for download.

Aruba Virtual Switching Extension

The ability of AOS-CX to maintain synchronous state

across dual control planes allows a unique high availability

solution called Aruba Virtual Switching Extension (VSX).

VSX is delivered through redundancy gained by deploying

two chassis with an inter-switch link, with each chassis

maintaining its independent control.

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

architecture that is highly available during upgrades or

Multicast

• Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)

Enables establishing multicast group memberships in IPv4

networks; supports IGMPv1, v2, and v3

• Anycast RP

Two or more RPs congured with same /32 Host IP

address on loopback interfaces. All the downstream

routers will be congured to point to Anycast RP address

for multicast routes. Device will automatically select the

closest RP for each source and receiver. If equal costs

routes exist, the process of registering the sources will be

shared equally by all the RPs in the network.

• MSDP Mesh Groups

MSDP used for Anycast RP is an intradomain feature

that provides redundancy and load-sharing capabilities.

When MSDP mesh groups are used, SA messages are not

ooded to other mesh group peers. When MSDP peer in

group receives SA message from another MSDP peer in

the group, it assumes that this SA message was sent to all

the other MSDP peers in the group. It also eliminates RPF

checks on arriving SA messages. With MSDP mesh group

congured, SA messages are always accepted from mesh

group peer

• PIM-Dense Mode

Floods multicast trac to every corner of the network

(push-model). Method is for delivering data to receivers

without receivers requesting the data. Can be ecient in

certain deployments in which there are active receivers

on every subnet in the network. Branches without

downstream receivers are pruned from the forwarding

trees.

• FastLeave (FL) and Forced-FastLeave (FFL)

for IGMP FL and FFL for IGMP/MLD speed up the process

of blocking unnecessary Multicast trac to a switch port

that is connected to end nodes. They help to eliminate the

CPU overhead of having to generate an IGMP/MLD Group-

Specic Query message.
