HPE Aruba Networking data center EVPN-VXLAN interoperability

By Daryl Wan, Distinguished Technologist, HPE Aruba Networking

To enable reliable networks for our customers, HPE Aruba Networking participates in multivendor interoperability testing with the European Advanced Networking Test Center (EANTC) to prove interoperability with other vendor solutions, including Arista, Cisco, Huawei, Nokia, Juniper, and others.

This annual testing showcases our fully standards-based data center switching solutions that interoperate with other standards-based equipment and vendors. This EANTC multivendor interoperability testing helps simplify network operators’ decision-making for their next-generation cloud, data center and transport infrastructure by providing a trusted list of interoperable products.

During the 2023 EANTC interoperability testing, the HPE Aruba Networking CX 8325-48Y8C, CX 8360-48Y6C, CX 9300-32D and CX 10000-48Y6C switch series were tested for EVPN-VXLAN multivendor interoperability with other leading data center vendors.
