Overview

This node updates an existing Access Point (AP) system profile within Aruba Central's configuration domain. It is useful for network administrators who need to modify AP profile settings such as management VLAN, DNS server, NTP server, timezone, SSH and Telnet access states, USB port state, and console timeout. For example, an admin can update the management VLAN ID or enable SSH access on a specific AP profile to ensure proper network management and security.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating the management VLAN ID of an AP profile to segment network traffic.
  2. Changing the SSH state to enabled for secure remote access to APs.
  3. Setting the NTP server address to synchronize time across devices.
