Overview

This node interacts with the Aruba Central API to retrieve detailed information about the ports of a specific network switch. It is particularly useful for network administrators who need to monitor and manage switch port configurations and statuses within the Aruba Central monitoring domain. For example, it can be used to fetch port details by providing the switch's serial number and optionally filtering by slot for chassis-type switches.

Use Case Examples

1. Retrieve port details for a switch by specifying its serial number in the monitoring domain.
2. Filter port details by slot for chassis-type switches to get more granular information.

Properties

Output

JSON

• portDetails - Array of port details retrieved from the switch.

Dependencies

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the serial number provided is correct and the switch is registered in Aruba Central.
• Verify that the OAuth2 credentials for Aruba Central API are valid and have the necessary permissions.
• If querying by slot, ensure the slot name is correct and applicable to the switch type.
• Common error messages may include authentication failures, invalid parameters, or network connectivity issues. Resolving these typically involves checking credentials, input values, and network access.
