Overview

This node operation creates a new Access Point (AP) system profile within the Aruba Central Next Gen platform. It is useful for network administrators who want to automate the configuration and management of AP profiles, including setting VLANs, DNS, NTP, SSH, and other network-related parameters. For example, it can be used to programmatically create AP profiles for different groups in a large enterprise network to ensure consistent network settings across multiple APs.

Use Case Examples

  1. Creating an AP profile named 'Office_AP_Profile' for the 'Sales' group with specific management VLAN, DNS server, and SSH enabled.
  2. Automating the creation of AP profiles with customized console timeout and timezone settings for different office locations.
