CX 8325 Switch Series Data Sheet

DATA SHEET
ARUBA 8325 SWITCH SERIES
• IPSLA
- Monitors the network for degradation of various
services, including voice
- Monitoring is enabled via the NAE for history and for
automated gathering of additional information when
anomalies are detected
• 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; this allows network operators to gather
a variety of sophisticated network statistics and
information for capacity planning and real-time network
monitoring purposes
• Remote monitoring (RMON)
Uses standard SNMP to monitor essential network
functions and supports events, alarms, history,
and statistics groups as well as a private alarm
extension group
• TFTP and SFTP support
- Oers dierent mechanisms for conguration updates;
trivial FTP (TFTP) allows bidirectional transfers over a
TCP/IP network
- Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) runs over an SSH
tunnel to provide additional security
• Debug and sampler utility
Supports ping and traceroute for IPv4 and IPv6
• Network Time Protocol (NTP)
- Synchronizes timekeeping among distributed time
servers and clients; keeps timekeeping consistent among
all clock-dependent devices within the network
- Can serve as the NTP server in a customer network
• IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
Advertises and receives management information from
adjacent devices on a network, facilitating easy mapping
by network management applications
• Dual ash images
Provides independent primary and secondary operating
system les for backup while upgrading
• Multiple conguration les
Stores les easily to the ash image
Layer 2 Switching
• VLAN
Supports up to 4,040 port-based or IEEE
802.1Q-based VLANs
• VXLAN
Supports static VXLAN. Allows operators to manually
connect two or more VXLAN tunnel endpoints (VTEP)
• Port mirroring
Duplicates port trac (ingress and egress) to a local or
remote monitoring port; supports 4 mirroring groups,
with an unlimited number of ports per group
• STP
Supports standard IEEE 802.1D STP, IEEE 802.1w Rapid
Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) for faster convergence, and
IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP)
• Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
Controls and manages the ooding of multicast packets in
a Layer 2 network
• Rapid Per-VLAN spanning tree plus (RPVST+)
Allows each VLAN to build a separate spanning tree to
improve link bandwidth usage in network environments
with multiple VLANs
Layer 3 Services
• Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
- Determines the MAC address of another IP host in the
same subnet; supports static ARPs; gratuitous ARP
allows detection of duplicate IP addresses
- Proxy ARP allows normal ARP operation between
subnets or when subnets are separated by a
Layer 2 network
• IP Directed Broadcast*
Supports directed broadcast on congured
network subnets
• Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP)
- DHCP services are oered within a client network to
simplify network management
- DHCP Relay enables DHCP operation across subnets
• Domain Name System (DNS)
Provides a distributed database that translates domain
names and IP addresses, which simplies network design;
supports client and server
*Not currently supported on Aruba 8325.
