Switch → Get Switch PoE Info for CX Switch

AI-generated

Overview

This node interacts with the Aruba Central API to retrieve Power over Ethernet (PoE) information for a specified CX switch. It is useful in network management scenarios where administrators need to monitor or troubleshoot PoE status on specific switch ports. For example, a network engineer can use this node to get detailed PoE data for a switch identified by its serial number, optionally filtering by port.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve PoE info for a CX switch by providing its serial number under the Monitoring domain.
  2. Filter PoE information by a specific port on the CX switch to diagnose power delivery issues.

Properties

Name Meaning
Domain Specifies the domain of the Aruba Central API to use, such as Monitoring for network device monitoring.
Serial The serial number of the CX switch to get PoE information for.
Additional Fields Optional additional parameters to filter the PoE info, such as specifying a particular port on the switch.

Output

JSON

  • poeInfo - The Power over Ethernet information retrieved for the specified CX switch, potentially filtered by port.

Dependencies

  • Aruba Central API with OAuth2 authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the serial number provided is correct and corresponds to a CX switch managed in Aruba Central.
  • 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 valid for the specified 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.
