Overview

This node interacts with the Aruba Central API to retrieve detailed information about the ports of a CX switch stack. It is particularly useful for network administrators who need to monitor and manage the physical and logical port configurations of their Aruba CX switch stacks. For example, it can be used to fetch port status, configuration, and performance metrics for a specific switch stack identified by its Stack ID within the monitoring domain.

Use Case Examples

1. A network admin wants to check the port details of a specific CX switch stack to troubleshoot connectivity issues.
2. An automated workflow retrieves port details regularly to monitor network health and generate alerts if any port is down.

Properties

Output

JSON

• portDetails - An array or object containing detailed information about each port in the specified CX switch stack, including status, configuration, and metrics.

Dependencies

• Aruba Central API with OAuth2 authentication

Troubleshooting

• Common issues include invalid or missing Stack ID, incorrect domain selection, or API authentication failures.
• Error messages may indicate network connectivity problems, invalid credentials, or insufficient permissions to access the requested data.
• To resolve errors, verify the Stack ID is correct, ensure the OAuth2 credentials are valid and have the necessary permissions, and confirm the domain is set to 'monitoring' for this operation.
