My Aventure with Aruba Networking

HPE Aruba switch stack

With over 20 years so far in networking and security I have had my hands in many vendors over the years. Cisco, Palo Alto, Juniper, Checkpoint, Fortinet. Where do I begin, but in all that time I have not worked much with Aruba. Well recently I took on a role migrating from Cisco to Aruba/Juniper and it has been a learning curve. I am currently involved with Aruba Central for CX Switch management, Aruba Clearpass for NAC and Policy, Aruba EdgeConnect/Axis for SD-WAN and VPN and finally Aruba Orchestrator for SD-WAN.

This will be a journey and I will be posting here some guides, tips and failures as I walk this path (sanatized of course :) )

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do and keep checking back.
