This SD-WAN Learning Path will take the user through many aspects of the configuration for a Aruba ECS (SilverPeak) Appliance. An Aruba ECS (SilverPeak) appliance, part of the EdgeConnect series, is a specialized device for implementing software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN). This technology enables organizations to optimize and control network traffic across multiple sites, data centers, and cloud platforms, enhancing connectivity, security, and performance across distributed networks.

This Learning Path will take you through configuration of Aruba 8360 and 6300F AOS-CX switches from OSPF to VSX. Aruba CX switches run on the AOS-CX (Aruba Operating System - CX), which built to provide advanced networking capabilities. Many Aruba CX switches are integrated with Aruba Central, which is Aruba's cloud-based network management platform. Aruba CX switches provide high-performance switching with low latency, supporting a variety of port speeds (1G, 10G, 25G, 40G, 100G) and configurations.

Introducing Aruba SD-Branch , IT can now deploy and manage WAN connections with unprecedented efficiency and cost-effectiveness, eliminating the delays of the past. The Branch Gateways support multiple WAN connections, including the Internet, MPLS, and cellular connections. They also feature software-defined, role-based policy enforcement, enabling easy definition of the best paths for data center, cloud, and SaaS-bound traffic. This ensures that critical data reaches its destination via the most efficient routes, enhancing overall network performance and user experience.
