Aruba CX Interface Monitoring

Monitor HPE Aruba CX switch interface status, LLDP neighbor relationships, and optical transceiver health (DOM diagnostics). Essential for troubleshooting connectivity issues and monitoring link quality.

When to Use

Checking interface admin/operational status
Troubleshooting port connectivity issues
Discovering LLDP neighbors for topology mapping
Monitoring optical transceiver health (TX/RX power, temperature)
Identifying threshold violations on optics
Verifying interface descriptions and speeds

MCP Server

Server: aruba-cx-mcp (community MCP from slientnight)
Command: python3 -u mcp-servers/aruba-cx-mcp/aruba_cx_mcp_server.py (stdio transport)
Auth: REST API via ARUBA_CX_TARGETS (JSON array) or ARUBA_CX_CONFIG (file path)
Timeout: ARUBA_CX_TIMEOUT (default: 30 seconds)

Available Tools

Tool	Parameters	What It Does
`get_interfaces`	target, interface?	Get interface status (admin, oper, speed, description)
`get_lldp_neighbors`	target, interface?	Get LLDP neighbor information (device, port, capabilities)
`get_dom_diagnostics`	target, interface?	Get optical transceiver health with threshold alerts

Workflow Examples

Interface Status Monitoring

# View all interfaces
"Show all interfaces on core-sw-1"

# Check specific interface
"What's the status of interface 1/1/1 on core-sw-1?"

# Find down interfaces
