  • 1.  IMC device monitoring for ArubaOS/ArubaOS-CX stacked switches

    Posted May 30, 2025 04:55 AM

    Hello there. On IMC, when a switch Aruba (AOS or AOS-CX doesn't care) is stacked, the only "Device Monitoring"

    index (eg for Real-Time monitoring) you can select is the Commander/Conductor switch.

    For the other chassis in the stack I'm not able to monitor CPU and/or RAM. 

     

     IMC, anyway, recognize and manage them. Looking inside the "Network Assets" tab the entire stack components is shown.

     I also tried to load other SNMP MIB's into IMC (ARUBACX-STACK-MIB, ARUBAWIRED-VSFv2-MIB.. etc) but that's made no difference.

    This behaviour is different with Comware switches stacked, inside the "Network Assets" all the chassis are shown the same

     But with them it's also possible to choose one specific chassis monitoring.

     IMC is running version E0710P04

     Does anybody have a tip that could help ? For sure I'm not the only one having this need..

     Thank you

     Luigi

    Hi.

    It's an interesting point you're raising. I've been reviewing the documentation, and honestly, I haven't found much directly addressing your specific report. Looking through the release notes for the most recent IMC versions, I did see something similar, but I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for. You could try updating to a more recent version and testing it again.

    Regards,

    Francisco

    Thank you Francisco. 
    We're planning to migrate to the latest version indeed, as you suggested. 
    Hoping that it solve this strange behaviour. 
    Thanks again 

    Best Regards

    Hello Luigi,

    I've also came across this behavior of iMC with Aruba CX switches for some time (maybe half a year ago), I also recommend software update. My hope is that other customers have already raised this issue and the development team found a solution for that. Although to be honest, I still see the same behavior in iMC with version 710P06 in the lab. If the update doesn't help I think you need to contact your local sales representative. They have a direct link with the R&D teams for iMC and can fast track this topic. Another option of course is to raise a case for the TAC and they will recommend the same :).

    Thank you,

    Best Regards,

    Ivaylo

    Thank you Ivaylo.

    Other colleagues also confirmed me that even with the E0710P06 (in a production environment) the issue still occur, so I trust on your lab results..

    I've seen there is a hotpach (H08) available in our networkingsupport portal, but it doesn't mention, inside the release notes, nothing about the question I'm looking for:

    Resolved Problems in IMC PLAT 7.3 (E0710H08)
    1. Add adaptation for incomplete configuration backup of ZTE devices.
    2. Add support for Aruba device vlan-trunk.
    3. HP Procurve 2600 adapter opens CLI function.
    4. Fix xml files for all adapters.
    5. Add HP Procurve adapter support for login as.
    6. Fix the issue of a general error occurring and failing in SFTP server mode.
    7. Optimize the logic for handling timed-out devices in jobmgr.
    8. Optimize the issue of filename confusion when multiple ICC tasks are performed simultaneously.

    Maybe (hoping so) with a future Patch release, P07 or over, this will be corrected..

    In the meantime the customers have to patiently wait. 

    Thanks again for sharing your experience

    Best Regards

    Luigi
