Abstract : In today's fast-paced business environment, IT organizations must deliver services efficiently to meet growing customer expectations. This paper focuses on optimizing network infrastructure to support increasing demand for device connectivity. Specifically, we aimed to identify opportunities to maximize the utilization of Aruba chassis switches by redistributing modules across supported areas, driven by the need to accommodate rising customer requests for end-user device connectivity amidst limited port availability. Through collaboration with subject matter experts, we explored ways to optimize network switch ports and improve overall efficiency.
