A customer has a skilled internal DevOps team with extensive Python programming knowledge.
Which HPE Aruba Networking CX switch would you recommend for the customer to support self-made or HPE Aruba Networking-provided scripts for onboard analytics?
Correct Answer: B
The correct answer is B. CX 6200. The feature being described is the HPE Aruba Networking AOS-CX Network Analytics Engine, or NAE. HPE Aruba Networking documentation states that NAE uses Python scripts to define which switch resources to monitor and optionally what actions to take when certain conditions are true. The NAE guide specifically applies to the CX 6200, 6300, 6400, 8xxx, 9300, and 10000 switch series, and the supported maximums page lists the CX 6200 as supporting up to 10 scripts and 10 agents. This makes the CX 6200 the correct choice from the available options. The CX 6000, CX 6100, and CX 4100i are lower access platforms and are not listed in the NAE guide's supported product set for onboard NAE scripting. Therefore, for a customer with Python skills who wants to use self-made or Aruba-provided onboard analytics scripts, the CX 6200 is the appropriate recommendation.
