aruba-cx-switching

aruba-cx-switching is a skill for Claude Code from automateyournetwork/netclaw. It costs 24 tokens per session (1,541 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A network-switching tool for viewing VLANs and MAC address tables on HPE Aruba CX switches. VLANs divide a network into separate logical sections, while MAC tables show which devices are connected to which ports.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to view VLANs and port assignments, find a device's switch port, audit Layer 2 network segmentation, troubleshoot connectivity, and manage VLANs.
Why use it?
It removes the need to search switch interfaces manually when checking network segmentation or tracing a device connection. VLAN changes can be made with ITSM approval.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

aruba-cx-switching scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Aruba CX Switching Operations

View VLANs, MAC address tables, and manage Layer 2 operations on HPE Aruba CX switches. Includes read-only operations for viewing network segmentation and write operations (ITSM-gated) for VLAN management.

When to Use

  • Viewing VLAN configurations and port assignments
  • Tracking MAC addresses across the switching fabric
  • Finding which port a specific endpoint is connected to
  • Creating, modifying, or deleting VLANs (with ITSM approval)
  • Auditing network segmentation
  • Troubleshooting Layer 2 connectivity

MCP Server

  • Server: aruba-cx-mcp (community MCP from slientnight)
  • Command: python3 -u mcp-servers/aruba-cx-mcp/aruba_cx_mcp_server.py (stdio transport)
  • Auth: REST API via ARUBA_CX_TARGETS (JSON array) or ARUBA_CX_CONFIG (file path)
  • ITSM: Write operations require CR when ITSM_ENABLED=true

Available Tools

Tool Parameters What It Does
get_vlans target, vlan_id? Get VLAN configurations (ID, name, ports)
get_mac_table target, vlan_id?, mac_address? Get MAC address table entries
create_vlan target, vlan_id, name?, cr_number? Create a new VLAN (ITSM-gated)
configure_vlan target, vlan_id, name?, tagged_ports?, untagged_ports?, cr_number? Modify VLAN (ITSM-gated)
delete_vlan target, vlan_id, cr_number? Delete a VLAN (ITSM-gated)

Workflow Examples

VLAN Discovery

# View all VLANs
"Show all VLANs on core-sw-1"

# Check specific VLAN
"What ports are in VLAN 100 on core-sw-1?"

# List VLAN names
"Show me the VLAN names configured on core-sw-1"

# Find untagged ports
"Which ports are untagged in VLAN 100?"

MAC Address Tracking

# View full MAC table
"Show the MAC address table for core-sw-1"

# Filter by VLAN
"Show MAC addresses in VLAN 100 on core-sw-1"

# Find specific MAC
"Find MAC address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff on core-sw-1"

# Locate endpoint
"Which port is MAC aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff learned on?"

# Count MACs per VLAN
"How many MAC addresses are in each VLAN on core-sw-1?"

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
