Rebooting a HPE Aruba 5400R zl2 with dual Management Modules following a Firmware Update
If you have ever seen this post Server Room – The latest you will notice we have a pretty awesome HPE Aruba 5400R zl2 Core Switch; however (at least until now), I’ve been yet to find a really simple guide which shows the best way to reboot the management modules following a firmware update. So after much research and a… Read more
Setting the Source Interface/VLAN for RADIUS, SNTP, syslog, TACACS, Telnet, TFTP and sFlow on HPE Aruba (ProCurve) switch
If you are running an HPE Aruba (formally ProCurve) switch you may come across cases where your switch (in the example above a 5400R zl2) has multiple IP Addresses/VLANs and you need it to talk to another service (in my case syslog and sFlow receivers) on a set interface. When this occurs you can use the ip source-interface command (make… Read more
Mitigating SSH Weak MAC Algorithms Supported and SSH Weak Encryption Algorithms Supported on HPE Aruba-OS Switches
Having recently setup OpenVAS (something I will likely blog about in further detail soon) I have found out that the default out of box deployment of Aruba-OS (formally ProCurve) supports a number of insecure SSH Algorithms with messages similar to the ones below logged even when running the latest firmware releases (YA.16.03.0004 on the 2530 series). SSH Weak Encryption Algorithms Supported… Read more
