How are Cisco VLANs migrated to Aruba CX?

VLAN definitions, names, and interface assignments are translated from IOS-XE syntax to Aruba CX VLAN configuration including access and trunk port modes with proper tagging.

Can Spanning Tree settings transfer between platforms?

Yes. RPVST+ and MST configurations including priority, port costs, and guard features are mapped to equivalent Aruba CX STP settings maintaining loop prevention behavior.

What about EtherChannel to Aruba LAG conversion?

Cisco port-channel interfaces with LACP are converted to Aruba CX LAG interfaces with equivalent LACP parameters, member port assignments, and trunk configurations.

The Switch Migration Challenge

VLAN Configuration

Cisco VLAN database and trunking syntax differs significantly from Aruba CX VLAN commands.

Spanning Tree

Per-VLAN spanning tree (PVST+) must be mapped to Aruba's MSTP or RPVST implementation.

Port Security

Cisco port-security and switchport commands require translation to Aruba's security model.

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.

Complete VLAN Translation

VLANs, trunk ports, and access ports are translated with proper Aruba CX syntax.

STP Conversion

Spanning tree configurations are mapped to equivalent Aruba implementations with proper priorities.

Security Policy Migration

Port security, ACLs, and authentication settings are properly translated.

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.
