How does Aruba VSX translate to Cisco StackWise?

VSX configurations are analyzed and translated to Cisco StackWise Virtual or vPC equivalents where applicable, with recommendations for topology-specific adjustments.

Can Aruba CX ACLs convert to Cisco IOS-XE ACLs?

Yes. Aruba CX ACLs are translated to IOS-XE extended ACLs with proper syntax for source/destination matching, protocol specifications, and interface application.

What about Aruba CX REST API configurations?

REST API and management plane configurations are mapped to equivalent IOS-XE management settings including SSH, SNMP, and HTTP server configurations.

The Switch Migration Challenge

Interface Naming

Aruba CX interface naming (1/1/1) must be translated to Cisco's GigabitEthernet format.

VLAN Syntax

Aruba's "vlan access" and "vlan trunk" commands differ from Cisco's switchport syntax.

Feature Mapping

Aruba-specific features need translation to equivalent Cisco IOS functionality.

How NetConverter Solves It

Vendor-Neutral Translation

Our comprehensive multi-step pipeline normalizes configurations to a unified intermediate format, enabling accurate translation between any vendor pair.

Intelligent Interface Mapping

Aruba interface names are automatically converted to proper Cisco interface notation.

Complete VLAN Translation

VLANs, trunk ports, and access ports are translated with proper Cisco switchport commands.

Feature Equivalence

Aruba features are mapped to equivalent Cisco configurations where possible.

4-Tier Validation System

Every translation undergoes comprehensive validation: syntax correctness, semantic accuracy, vendor best practices compliance, and AI-assisted review.

Confidence Scoring

Each conversion includes a confidence score indicating translation quality, helping you prioritize review efforts and ensuring production readiness.
