AOS-CX & IP-SLA POC

ADOLFO BOLIVARMAY 2020

Customer Requirements

• Two path:, Active – Standby links

• NQA or IP-SLA must be used to select the path.• Switch detects failure -> Change to standby link automatically. • Automatic fallback to ppal link (when available).

• Dynamic routing cannot be used.

IP-SLA Guidelines – AOS CX v10.4

- “ArubaOS-CX supports only SLA configuration through CLI and thresholds can be configured using NAE agents using WebUI/REST.”

- “ArubaOS-CX supports only forever test.”

- “NAE agents must be triggered for each IP-SLA test on every switch.”

- “Predefined actions are action functions that are built in to the Aruba Network Analytics Engine framework. These functions enable the agents of a script to:

- Execute CLI commands in the ArubaOS-CX network operating system ().- Send messages to the system log.”
