The Network Analytics Engine (NAE) is a powerful built-in framework in AOS-CX for monitoring and troubleshooting. It uses Python-based agents to track system health and network events.
Direct UI Integration: The AOS-CX Web Interface (Web UI) includes a dedicated Analytics dashboard. Within this dashboard, there is a functional integration designed to simplify the acquisition of new monitoring scripts.
Aruba Solutions Exchange (ASE): The ASE is the official repository for Aruba-validated scripts, configuration templates, and NAE agents. When an administrator clicks the " Download " or " Discover " button within the NAE section of the switch ' s Web UI, the switch attempts to connect directly to the Aruba Solutions Exchange API. This allows the user to browse, select, and install verified NAE scripts without manually downloading files from a PC and then uploading them to the switch.
Evaluating Other Options:
Option A: The Support Portal is used for firmware and documentation, but it is not a script repository integrated into the switch UI.
Option C: Airheads is a community forum where scripts are discussed and shared manually, but it lacks the API integration for direct UI downloads.
Option D: While there is an official Aruba GitHub for NAE scripts, the built-in discovery mechanism specifically points to the ASE portal for a seamless, authenticated experience.
