Overview

This node interacts with the Aruba Central Next Gen API to create an Ethernet Interface configuration profile. It is useful for network administrators who want to automate the setup and management of Ethernet interfaces on Aruba network devices. For example, it can be used to programmatically define interface settings such as speed, duplex, VLAN assignments, and other interface-specific parameters via a JSON configuration body.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automate the creation of Ethernet interface profiles across multiple devices to ensure consistent network configuration.
  2. Integrate with a CI/CD pipeline to deploy network interface changes as part of infrastructure updates.

Properties

Name Meaning
Debug Mode Whether to enable detailed debug logs for troubleshooting.
Domain API domain to interact with, specifically set to 'interfaces' for Ethernet interface operations.
Profile Body JSON configuration body for the ethernet interface profile, containing the detailed settings to be applied to the interface.

Output

JSON

  • response - The JSON response from the Aruba Central Next Gen API after creating the Ethernet Interface profile, typically including status and details of the created interface.

Dependencies

  • Aruba Central Next Gen API with OAuth2 authentication

Troubleshooting

  • If the node fails with authentication errors, verify that the OAuth2 credentials are correctly configured and valid.
  • If the API returns validation errors, check the JSON configuration in the Profile Body for correctness and completeness according to Aruba Central API specifications.
  • Enable Debug Mode to get detailed logs which can help identify issues with the request or response.
