aruba-cx-system

aruba-cx-system is a skill for Claude Code from automateyournetwork/netclaw. It costs 20 tokens per session (1,175 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A natural-language tool for inspecting HPE Aruba CX network switches, including their hardware, software versions, and VSF group layout. VSF is Aruba's system for linking switches into one managed group.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inventory switches, check uptime and firmware, review VSF members and roles, and prepare for firmware upgrades.
Why use it?
It removes the need to check each switch separately or interpret command-line output when auditing a switching network. It helps reveal outdated firmware and how switches are grouped and assigned roles.

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-system 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 10d 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 System Discovery

Discover HPE Aruba CX switch system information, firmware versions, and VSF (Virtual Switching Framework) topology through natural language. View switch inventory, software versions, and cluster membership.

When to Use

  • Inventorying Aruba CX switches (hostname, model, serial number)
  • Checking switch software versions and uptime
  • Auditing firmware versions across the switching fabric
  • Understanding VSF cluster topology and member roles
  • Planning firmware upgrades (ISSU)
  • Verifying VSF commander/standby/member assignments

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)
  • Timeout: ARUBA_CX_TIMEOUT (default: 30 seconds)

Available Tools

Tool Parameters What It Does
get_system_info target Get hostname, model, serial number, software version, uptime
get_firmware_info target Get primary/secondary firmware versions, boot image, ISSU capability
get_vsf_topology target Get VSF cluster members with roles, serial numbers, status

Workflow Examples

System Information Discovery

# Get system info for a switch
"Show me the system information for core-sw-1"

# Check switch details
"What model is core-sw-1?"

# View software version
"What software version is running on core-sw-1?"

# Check uptime
"How long has core-sw-1 been running?"

Firmware Audit

# Get firmware versions
"Show the firmware versions for core-sw-1"

# Check primary and secondary images
"What firmware images are on core-sw-1?"

# Verify ISSU capability
"Is core-sw-1 capable of ISSU upgrades?"

# Plan upgrades
"Which switches need firmware upgrades?"

VSF Topology Discovery

# View VSF cluster
"Show the VSF topology for core-sw-1"

# Check cluster membership
"What switches are in the VSF cluster with core-sw-1?"

# Identify commander
"Which switch is the VSF commander?"

# View member roles
"Show me the VSF member roles and serial numbers"
