ArubaOS-CX and ArubaOS-Switch and Cisco IOS CLI Reference Guide (Jan 2019)
Background
Huawei is similar to Comware. Actually, Huawei designed Comware for 3Com via a joint venture (H3C) back in the early 2000s. 3Com bought out H3C in 2007, and HP bought 3Com in 2010 (and by extension H3C).
After HP's purchase of Aruba, Aruba enveloped their existing wired Procurve product sets, for marketing purposes, under the umbrella of "Campus" products. "Campus" switching products also include some lower end Comware devices. Some ArubaOS Switches (5400R, 3810M) can be positioned in small data centers s well. ArubaOS-CX is Arubas/HPE's latest Datacenter platform (8400 / 8320 / 8325 / 6300 / 6400).
ArubaOS-Switch CLI is basically the firmware continuation of the now deprecated ProVision os operating the ProCurve switching products.
ArubaOS-CX is an Aruba internally developed, ground up, networking os powering Aruba's 8400/8320/8325/6300/6400/<future> series campus core and aggregation switch platforms. It was designed to migrate with the demands of the mobile, cloud and IoT era. Its key features are in its micro-services style modular architecture, REST APIs, Python scripting capabilities, Aruba Network Analytics Engine and Aruba Virtual Switching Extension (VSX).
