    Cheers

     

    Customer has asked me to demonstrate that our AOS-CX switches can replace a legacy switching solution that has NQA functionality configured to decide which of the two routes (active - standby) should route traffic. Important to note, Customer does not use dynamic routing protocols.

     

    Reading the AOS-CX monitoring and NAE guides I concluded the same functionality that NQA delivers can be achieved by combining the functionality of IP-SLA with a NAE script (conectivity_monitor v1.1).

     

    The way to demo to Customer was this way:

     

    1. Virtual test environment setup using the AOS-CX OVA (Virtual.10.03.0020). Picture1.png
    2. IP-SLA configuration. Picture2.png
    3. Configuration of Agents and setup of the monitoring dashboard: Picture3.png

    The result of the demo was successful, combining IP-SLA and NAE I was able to demonstrate a routing policy based on the availability of the main - backup links.

     

    4. Syslogs collected: Picture4.png

     

    This is the video of the PoC result. Attached you will find a pdf with all the details.

    Thanks,

    Adolfo

    Solution for CX6200 and CX6300 switches ??

    Hello this is exactly what I need (dual ISP failover) but does anyone have a NAE script (or a suitable solution) that works on a Aruba CX 6200 and CX 6300?? 

    Neither of those switches will upload the 'connectivity_monitor' script and I can't figure out what commands are causing the issue.
    Or if anyone has solved this another way ?

    Many thanks

    Peter

    Hi, I need the same solution for CX6200, did you get the NAE script for CX6200/6300? 

    Thanks!

    Not yet but .....!!! Aruba/HPE Tech support are investigating it for me.
    I have an open ticket with them and they advised that they tried to test the script but could not even get it to load on an 83xx Switch so ....
    I'm keeping my fingers crossed they might yet come up with a solution ... or something :)

    I checked but couldn't find the script for the 6200/6300 series. However, there are additional capabilities with the NAE lite scripts. Did you have a look into this? The documentation include an example that tracks the status of IP-SLA

    Yes I have been all over GitHub looking for a solution but no luck :(
    GitHub is where I got the original none working script. 
    FYI I have an open ticket with  HPE/ Aruba support and they are investigating it for me. 

    Thanks for the reply though :)
