A company has AOS-CX switches and is implementing authentication to HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy...

AOS-CX Network Analytics Engine is designed for local monitoring, alerting, and automated diagnostics. An NAE agent can monitor connectivity to a critical service such as ClearPass Policy Manager. If the switch loses connectivity to CPPM, the NAE agent can trigger an alert and run CLI commands to collect relevant troubleshooting information at the time of failure. CoPP protects the switch control plane but does not monitor CPPM reachability or collect diagnostics. RADIUS accounting and ClearPass Insight help with session reporting, not switch-side failure detection. Aruba Central alerts are useful for cloud visibility, but they do not provide the same local diagnostic automation. NAE is the correct tool for this monitoring workflow.
