Source inputs
An Aruba CX configuration with hardware/software versions and the target Cisco platform, interface map and stack requirements.
Switch migration / Scope first
Aruba CX
to Cisco IOS-XE
Prepare the source, review the translated configuration and validate the behavior that matters to your network. Start with the device, software version and features in scope.
Account approval and feature support apply. A listed migration path does not certify every model, version or configuration.

What goes in.
What you review.
Target output
Cisco IOS-XE output for supported switch configuration, with findings and manual steps.
Path-specific boundaries
A configuration translation does not convert physical stack cabling or establish support for every Cisco family. Validate the intended model/version and resolve manual prerequisites.
Scope the review
Check the behavior,
not just the syntax.
VLAN membership and trunk behavior
Confirm the intended behavior, supported scope and target-platform requirements.
Link aggregation and trusted uplinks
Confirm the intended behavior, supported scope and target-platform requirements.
Spanning tree, DHCP protections and access policy
Confirm the intended behavior, supported scope and target-platform requirements.
Management configuration and hardware-specific features
Confirm the intended behavior, supported scope and target-platform requirements.
These are review areas, not a guarantee that every construct in them is automated. Unsupported features, missing captures and conditional behavior remain part of the engineering review.
