    Product Differentiators


    AOS-CX - a modern software system

    The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8320 Switch Series is based on AOS-CX, a modern, database-driven operating system that automates and simplifies 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. AOS-CX operating system features are organized into CX Foundation and CX Advanced software licenses.


    Every CX switch includes an active, embedded CX Foundation license at no additional cost with the option to upgrade to a CX Advanced license.


    The CX Foundation license has everything needed to deploy, connect, and troubleshoot an enterprise network, including:

    • – Network Analytics Engine (NAE)
    • – Dynamic Segmentation
    • – Switch Stacking
    • – High Availability and Resiliency
    • – Quality of Service (QoS)
    • – Layer 2 Switching
    • – Layer 3 Services and Routing
    • – IP Multicast
    • – Network Security
    • – Support for NetEdit

    The CX Advanced license includes CX Edge Insights, offering deep visibility with application recognition, identification, and flow capture from layer 4 to layer 7.


    Because AOS-CX is built on a modular Linux architecture with a stateful database, our operating system provides the following unique capabilities

    • – Easy access to all network state information allows unique visibility and analytics
    • – REST APIs and Python scripting for fine-grained programmability of network tasks
    • – A micro-services architecture that enables full integration with other workflow systems and services
    • – Continual state synchronization that provides superior fault tolerance and high availability
    • – All software processes communicate with the database rather than each other, ensuring near real-time state and resiliency and allowing individual software modules to be independently upgraded for higher availability

    HPE Aruba Networking Central, Cloud-based network management

    Flexible cloud-based or on-premises management for unified network operations of wired, WLAN, SD-WAN, and public cloud infrastructure. Designed to simplify day zero through day two operations with streamlined workflows. Switch management capabilities include configuration, onboarding, monitoring, troubleshooting, and reporting.


    A Central Advanced license expands these capabilities with premium security and AIOps, including the Central NetConductor Fabric Wizard and Policy Manager to enable dynamic segmentation and distributed enforcement at a global scale.


    The Central Advanced license now comes with all CX Advanced features so there is no need to purchase a CX Advanced license. This streamlines operational efficiency, reducing the need for IT teams to keep track of multiple licenses, active terms, and renewal dates.


    Network Analytics Engine - advanced monitoring and diagnostics

    For enhanced visibility and troubleshooting, Network Analytics Engine (NAE) automatically interrogates and analyzes events that can impact a networks health. Advanced telemetry and automation provide the ability to easily identify and troubleshoot network, system, application and security related issues easily, through the use of python agents, CLI-based agents and REST APIs.


    The Time Series Database (TSDB) stores configuration and operational state data, making it available to quickly resolve network issues. The data may also be used to analyze trends, identify anomalies and predict future capacity requirements.

HPE Aruba Networking NetEdit – automated switch configuration and management

The entire CX portfolio empowers IT teams to orchestrate multiple switch configuration changes for smooth end-to-end service rollouts. NetEdit introduces automation that allows for rapid network-wide changes, and ensures policy conformance post network updates. Intelligent capabilities include search, edit, validation (including conformance checking), deployment and audit features. Capabilities include:

  • – Centralized configuration with validation for consistency and compliance
  • – Time savings via simultaneous viewing and editing of multiple configurations
  • – Customized validation tests for corporate compliance and network design
  • – Automated large-scale configuration deployment without programming
  • – Network health and topology visibility via NAE integration

Notes: A separate software license is required to use NetEdit.


Networking Virtual Switching Extension (VSX)

The ability of AOS-CX to maintain synchronous state across dual control planes allows a simplified carrier-class high availability solution called Virtual Switching Extension (VSX).


Designed using the best features of existing high availability technologies such as Multi-chassis Link Aggregation (MC LAG), VSX enables a distributed architecture that is highly available during upgrades or control plane events. Features include:

  • – Continuous configuration synchronization via AOS-CX
  • – Flexible active-active network designs at Layers 2 and 3
  • – Operational simplicity and usability for easy configuration
  • – High availability by design during upgrades including support for VSX Live Upgrade with LACP traffic draining

CX Mobile App – unparalleled deployment convenience

An easy to use mobile app simplifies connecting and managing CX 6300 Switch Series for any size project. Switch information can also be imported into NetEdit for simplified configuration management and to continuously validate the conformance of configurations anywhere in the network.

  • 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 flooded 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 configured, SA messages are always accepted from mesh group peer.
  • PIM-Dense Mode
  • Floods multicast traffic to every corner of the network (push-model). Method is for delivering data to receivers without receivers requesting the data. Can be efficient 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 traffic 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-Specific Query message.
  • Support for Microsoft Network Load Balancer (NLB) for server applications
  • IGMP/MLD Snooping
  • Prevent flooding of multicast traffic to non-listening ports
  • Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM)
