Why this program matters

  • Without VSX mastery on Aruba CX, datacenters face simultaneous switch failures that cause up to four hours of downtime per incident, at an average cost of 250 000 euros for a mid-sized company.

  • Non-redundant links multiply the risks of data loss and SLA violations, triggering contractual penalties and technical debt that extends maintenance cycles by 30 %.

  • Untrained teams accumulate critical configuration errors, increasing the attack surface and security incidents by 40 % according to industry experience reports.

Program

Aruba CX VSX curriculum: 4 modules over 4 days

Module 1 : VSX Architecture: Design and Initial Deployment (Aruba CX, NetEdit, Datacenter Cases)

Participants study the VSX architecture on Aruba CX switches, deploy an initial cluster in the lab and apply L2/L3 segmentation best practices. Hands-on labs include bringing up ISL and keepalive links, verifying synchronization and validating baseline deliverables for a production environment.

Module 2 : Advanced Synchronization and Redundancy: Configuration and Testing (VSX, AOS-CX, Failure Scenarios)

The training deepens MAC and ARP table synchronization, configuration of stretched VLANs and virtual gateways. Learners perform failover tests, measure convergence times and produce validated configuration deliverables to ensure service continuity in the event of hardware failure.

Module 3 : Datacenter High Availability: Integration and Security (VSX, ClearPass, Aruba Central)

Teams integrate VSX clusters into a complete datacenter architecture, configure inter-site redundancy and apply security policies via ClearPass. Hands-on labs cover monitoring setup via Aruba Central, SLA validation and delivery of ready-to-use operational guides.

Module 4 : Troubleshooting and Optimization: Diagnostics and Continuous Improvement (VSX, Logs, Tools)

Participants learn to diagnose VSX issues using logs and advanced commands, optimize convergence parameters and simulate complex incidents. Each team delivers a continuous improvement plan and a documented troubleshooting kit for their production infrastructures.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Aruba CX VSX training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
