Overview

This node interacts with the Aruba Central API to retrieve BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier) information related to Access Points within the monitoring domain. It is useful for network administrators who want to monitor wireless access points, filter results by various criteria such as group, site, or serial number, and manage network performance and security.

Use Case Examples

  1. A network admin wants to get all BSSIDs for access points in a specific site to analyze wireless coverage.
  2. Retrieve a limited number of BSSIDs filtered by AP serial number to troubleshoot connectivity issues.
  3. Fetch all BSSIDs with pagination and sorting to generate a comprehensive report on wireless access points.

Properties

Name Meaning
Domain Specifies the domain of the Aruba Central API to use, defaulting to 'monitoring' for this operation.
Return All Determines whether to return all BSSID results or limit the number of results.
Limit Maximum number of BSSID results to return, with a maximum of 1000.
Additional Fields Optional filters and parameters to refine the BSSID query, including pagination offset, filtering by group, swarm ID, label, site, serial number, MAC address, cluster ID, calculation of total BSSIDs, and sorting options.

Output

JSON

  • bssids - Array of BSSID objects retrieved from the Aruba Central API based on the specified filters and parameters.

Dependencies

  • Aruba Central API with OAuth2 authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the OAuth2 API credentials are correctly configured and valid to avoid authentication errors.
  • If the node returns an error about invalid parameters, verify that only one of the mutually exclusive filters (group, swarm_id, label, serial, macaddr, site) is used at a time.
  • Pagination issues can occur if offset and limit values are not set correctly; adjust these parameters to retrieve the desired data range.
  • Network connectivity issues or API rate limits may cause request failures; check network status and API usage limits.
