Cisco and Aruba Switch Commands- Side by Side

[@techfixer1543]

Excellent side-by-side config comparisons between the Cisco and Aruba switches. Your hands-on example scenarios and CLI narration almost felt like I was watching a sport caster breaking down the techniques between to NFL quarter backs. You nicely summarized the fundamental configurations between these competitors. From what you shown, Aruba's OS appears more streamlined. Thank you and stay healthy!

[@TwT101]

True, I have enjoyed Aruba OS right after I got through trunk vs trk difference. Context sensitive help, you know the " ? " After a partial command to see what possibly goes after , that is still better in Cisco, at least to me. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks for you nice comment. Keep learning....

[@grahammccann8554]

Hi, Thank you for coming back. I found two commands that do the same thing as term mon. debug destination session debug event then to stop the output to the console use no debug all

[@TwT101]

Awesome. This is the first time I have someone interacted back. I thank you Graham. If you are learning Aruba, you might realize they are slowly moving towards Aos-cx platform. Let me know what you think about them.

[@adbtqi]

Thanks a lot for this wonderful summarized comparison of CLI

[@3xjavier108]

Thanks, dude! I'm beginner and today I noticed about aruba! So I decided learn about it! Regards from México.

[@TwT101]

Welcome @3xJavier. Keep learning. Let me know if I can help.

Thank folk, well comparison between the most common brands

Very good - exactly what I was looking for! Many thanks!

Nicely explained,thank you,all the best 👍🏻

[@TwT101]

Thank you too

[@gastonhitw720]

so it's very similar then, almost identical, nice! I like cisco IOS

[@TwT101]

Indeed. In most cases except Port channels are called Trk and don't get that mixed with Trunk.

[@BrooklynPhenixRising]

Thank you so much... This is exactly my task this weekend. We have a PO with Aruba sw6200f stack. I'm trying to convert our Cisco switch configure to Aruba to see if Aruba is a viable alternative. This was very helpful. Do you have any videos on QOS on Aruba?

[@TwT101]

Thank you so much for your review. What QoS configuration are you looking for ? Usually if you are not overwriting the QoS markings, trusting dscp and cos does the job at switching level.

[@XwolfBane18]

Hi there firstly great video it was very informative.I have a question could you please tell me how I can set this up so I can learn as we have lots of Aruba switches in my work place and will very soon be working with the switches and configuring them . Thank you for your time .

[@grahammccann8554]

Thanks. I have started making the Aruba Mobility Videos. Take a look and let me know. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eonbaWOljp6DmJo

[@mileskt9232]

this is a great comparison but one thing i cant figure out with aruba is how to enable the port. no shutdown isnt doing anything?

[@johnchen8508]

Do I need to setup QoS in Aruba voice vlan?

[@chasuav]

Could you explain in more details about Eavesdrop Prevention. You mentioned to disable it on untagged ports, but what happen if you don't disable it? Thanks in advance and great info.

[@TwT101]

Devices like printers are not talkative, so their Mac times out while arp entries remain on L3 interface. New packet destined for that printer from that vlan or a different vlan will use arp to identify the switch where that printer was connected. It will be a unicast and directly sent to the switch. Switch won't have that Mac on it's cam table and for security it will drop it. Unknown Mac broadcast it would've forwarded out all its port but unknown unicast is blocked by default. Let me know if it makes sense

[@chasuav]

@@TwT101 So disable Eavesdrop Prevention on ports that are connected to printers, but okay to leave it enabled on ports connected to computers? What about ports that are configured for STATIC and LIMITED-CONTINUOUS, what 's the best practice?

[@TwT101]

@@chasuav I would disable eavesdrop prevention on all ports unless you have printer connectivity defined for printers j. Your organization. I also believe this was fixed at a later AOS version. Please check. Limited-continuous is a feature where until the Mac address limit is reached the switch will continuously learn mac-addresses but once reached then it will stop learning new mac-addresses. [e-mail] let me know about you, your current role, if you are new to Aruba and future goals.

[@grahammccann8554]

Hi, do you know the command for term mon in Aruba? I use it all the time on my Cisco switches. it would be great to find this command for Aruba switches. The debug does not seem to work the same. Kind regards

[@TwT101]

No Graham. there is not one exactly like that. You can log all (level=info) msg and display them in reverse order to view them. "Aruba(config)#logging severity info" and then "show logg -r" -This will show you all logs in reverse (newest first). Hope this help.

[@TwT101]

btw Aruba added this to their newest switch platform Aos-CX. Command is "terminal-monitor" 😂

[@ushavingfun6426]

@@m.ammarraza3957 these are real hardware switches from Cisco and Aruba. Newer Aruba Aos-cx switches does have a virtual option that you can download and install on VMware esxi.

@@ushavingfun6426 Thank you sir for such a kind attitude, sir i have Aos-Cx installed in gns3 integrated with vmware but not all the configuration commands as i was taught by my teacher in physical Aruba switch are not running on this logical switch

[@TwT101]

@@m.ammarraza3957 you are right, Aos-CX is the new class of switches and different from previous Aruba AOS switches when it comes to commands. Remember to try the ? After your commands to find out what is allowed as a valid command. For example there is no reload command in AOS cx it's boot system

[@Takigatita9739]

Master, what is the difference between a tagged port and trk1 port?, in one of them my simple link between two switches works (tagged) but with trk1 trunks not. with tagged option, show trunks not showing the tagged trunk. Really I dont understand.

[@TwT101]

Tagged ports are trunk ports in Cisco term, where you carry multiple vlans. Trk is equivalent to Cisco Port-Channel. Trk is where you bond bunch of cables to connect 2 devices for redundancy and higher throughput. Now one trk could also be tagged port just like a Port-Channel could be trunk. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately there is no way to smash that like buttons 1 million times. Thanks a lot

[@jcmichel5768]

How do you power off the switch? I know it would be bad to pull the power cord...

[@TwT101]

Unfortunately Cisco doesn't give you power on/off switch. Pull the plug is the only option. Aruba is same way. I guess its there way of making sure you dont accidentally bump into the switch and hit the power button, Not sure whats the main reason behind not having a power button. Its just not there. So pull the plug. Dont forget to hit the like and subscribe button !!

[@nabeelahmed585]

Very good explanation could you please guide to configure ssh

[@TwT101]

Nabeel You can also use the aaa command below to create level-15 user that will work with ssh. aaa authentication local-user group Level-15 password plaintext hit enter and it will prompt you to enter password and retype.

[@Mlarios2025]

How to set interface to Default PORT?

[@TwT101]

Unfortunately Aruba AOS doesn't have the command but they included that in new Aruba CX switches. Also context sensitive help sucks for AOS switches. For example if you are in interface config mode Aruba-3810M(ethe-1)# ? It will show you all possible commands available in config mode. Hope this answers your question.
