Switch → Ports Bandwidth Usage for CX Switch
AI-generatedOverview
This node interacts with the Aruba Central API to retrieve bandwidth usage data for ports on a CX switch. It is useful for network administrators who want to monitor the bandwidth consumption of specific switch ports over a defined time range. For example, it can be used to analyze traffic patterns, identify bandwidth bottlenecks, or monitor uplink port usage on a CX switch.
Use Case Examples
- A network admin wants to monitor bandwidth usage on a specific CX switch port over the last 3 hours to troubleshoot network congestion.
- An IT team needs to generate reports on uplink port bandwidth usage for capacity planning.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Domain | Specifies the domain of the Aruba Central API to use, such as monitoring, configuration, or inventory. For this operation, the domain is set to 'monitoring'. |
| Serial | The serial number of the CX switch to retrieve port bandwidth usage data for. |
| From | Start time for data retrieval; defaults to current time minus 3 hours if not specified. |
| To | End time for data retrieval; defaults to current time if not specified. |
| Additional Fields | Optional filters and settings for the query, including filtering by specific port and whether to show usage for uplink ports only. |
Output
JSON
port- The port identifier on the CX switch.bandwidthUsage- Bandwidth usage data for the specified port over the requested time range.timestamp- Timestamp of the bandwidth usage data point.
Dependencies
- Requires an Aruba Central API OAuth2 credential for authentication.
Troubleshooting
- Ensure the serial number provided is correct and corresponds to a CX switch managed by Aruba Central.
- Verify that the OAuth2 credentials for Aruba Central API are valid and have the necessary permissions for the monitoring domain.
- If no data is returned, check the time range specified and ensure the switch has reported data for that period.
- Common error messages may include authentication failures, invalid parameters, or network connectivity issues. Resolving these typically involves verifying credentials, input parameters, and network access.
