Access Points → Get AP Port CRC Errors

AI-generated

Overview

This node operation retrieves the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) error statistics for a specific port on an Aruba Central managed access point. It is useful for network administrators who want to monitor the health and performance of access point ports by identifying CRC errors, which can indicate physical layer issues or data transmission problems on the port.

Use Case Examples

  1. A network admin wants to check the CRC error count on port 0 of an access point with a specific serial number to diagnose connectivity issues.
  2. Monitoring CRC errors over a time range to identify intermittent port problems on access points in a wireless network.

Properties

Name Meaning
Debug Mode Whether to enable detailed debug logs for troubleshooting.
Domain API domain to interact with, such as monitoring or configuration.
Serial Number Access point serial number to identify the specific device.
Port Index Port index of the access point to specify which port's CRC errors to retrieve.
Time Range Optional start and end time for data retrieval to limit the query to a specific period.

Output

JSON

  • crcErrors - The count or details of CRC errors on the specified access point port.
  • portIndex - The index of the port on the access point for which CRC errors are reported.
  • serialNumber - The serial number of the access point device.
  • timeRange
    • startTime - The start time of the data retrieval period, if specified.
    • endTime - The end time of the data retrieval period, if specified.

Dependencies

  • An API key credential for Aruba Central Next Gen API authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the serial number and port index are correctly specified; incorrect values may result in no data or errors.
  • If the API domain is not set to 'monitoring', the operation may fail as it requires monitoring data access.
  • Enable Debug Mode to get detailed logs for troubleshooting issues with API calls or data retrieval.
  • Common errors include authentication failures due to invalid or expired API credentials, which require re-authentication or credential update.
  • Time range values must be in ISO 8601 format; invalid formats may cause errors or no data returned.
