Overview

This node interacts with the Aruba Central API to retrieve Power over Ethernet (PoE) information for a specific network switch. It is useful in network management scenarios where administrators need to monitor or troubleshoot PoE status on switch ports, such as checking power consumption or identifying PoE-enabled ports on a switch.

Use Case Examples

1. A network administrator wants to get PoE details for a switch identified by its serial number to ensure all connected devices are receiving adequate power.
2. An automated workflow retrieves PoE info to monitor power usage trends and detect potential issues on specific switch ports.

Properties

Output

JSON

• poeInfo - Contains the Power over Ethernet information retrieved for the specified switch, including details per port if filtered.

Dependencies

• Aruba Central API with OAuth2 authentication

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the serial number provided is correct and the switch is managed by Aruba Central under the specified domain.
• Verify that the OAuth2 credentials for Aruba Central API are valid and have sufficient permissions to access monitoring data.
• If filtering by port, confirm the port identifier is accurate and exists on the switch.
• Common error messages may include authentication failures, invalid parameters, or network connectivity issues. Resolving these typically involves checking credentials, input values, and network access.
