reliability for the route discovery process; reduces bandwidth consumption by advertising only incremental updates;
supports extensive policies for increased flexibility; scales to very large networks
• Multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP) with IPv6 Address Family
Enables sharing of IPv6 routes using BGP and connections to BGP peers using IPv6.
• IPv6 Multicast Routing
Provides capability to enable routing of IPv6 multicast traffic. Supports multicast listener discovery (MLD), MLD Snooping,
and PIM-SM IPv6 Routing.
• 6in4 tunnels
Supports the tunneling of IPv6 traffic in an IPv4 network.
• IP performance optimization
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
• OSPFv3
Provides OSPF support for IPv6
• Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP)
Enables multiple equal-cost links in a routing environment to increase link redundancy and scale bandwidth
Security
• TAA Compliance
The Aruba 8325, a TAA-compliant product, with the ArubaOS-CX uses FIPS 140-
2 validated cryptography for protection
of sensitive information
• Access control list (ACL) Features
Supports powerful ACLs for both IPv4 and IPv6. Supports creation of object groups representing sets of devices like IP
addresses. For instance, IT management devices could be grouped in this way. ACLs can also protect control plane
services such as SSH, SNMP, NTP or web servers.
• 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
• Management access security
Aruba OS CX provides for both on-box as well as off- box authentication for administrative access. RADIUS or TACACS+
can be used to provide encrypted user authentication. Additionally, TACACS+ can also provide user authorization services
• Secure shell (SSHv2)
Uses external servers to securely log in to a remote device; with authentication and encryption, it protects against IP
spoofing and plain-text password interception; increases the security of Secure FTP (SFTP) transfers
Multicast
• IGMP Snooping
Allows multiple VLANs to receive the same IPv4 multicast traffic, lessening network bandwidth demand by reducing
multiple streams to each VLAN
• Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM)
Defines modes of IPv4 multicasting to allow one-to-many and many-to-many transmission of information; supports PIM,
Sparse Mode (SM)
• Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
Utilizes Any-Source Multicast (ASM) to manage IPv4 multicast networks; supports IGMPv1, v2, and v3
