Usage

All resource management functions are available with the Powershell verbs GET, ADD, SET, REMOVE. For example, you can manage Vlans with the following commands:

Get-ArubaSWVlans
Add-ArubaSWVlans
Set-ArubaSWVlans
Remove-ArubaSWVlans

Requirements

Powershell 5 or 6 (Core) (If possible get the latest version)
An Aruba OS Switch (with firmware 16.x), REST API enable and HTTPS enable (recommended)

Instructions

Install the module

# Automated installation (Powershell 5 or later):
    Install-Module PowerArubaSW

# Import the module
    Import-Module PowerArubaSW

# Get commands in the module
    Get-Command -Module PowerArubaSW

# Get help
    Get-Help Get-ArubaSWVlans -Full

Examples

Connecting to the Aruba Switch

The first thing to do is to connect to a Aruba Switch with the command Connect-ArubaSW :

# Connect to the Aruba Switch
    Connect-ArubaSW 192.0.2.1

#we get a prompt for credential

if you get a warning about Unable to connect Look Issue

Vlans Management

You can create a new Vlan Add-ArubaSWVlans, retrieve its information Get-ArubaSWVlans, modify its properties Set-ArubaSWVLans, or delete it Remove-ArubaSWVlans.

# Create a vlan
    Add-ArubaSWVlans -id 85 -Name 'PowerArubaSW' -is_voice_enabled

    uri               : /vlans/85
    vlan_id           : 85
    name              : PowerArubaSW
    status            : VS_PORT_BASED
    type              : VT_STATIC
    is_voice_enabled  : True
    is_jumbo_enabled  : False
    is_dsnoop_enabled : False


# Get information about vlan
    Get-ArubaSWVlans -name PowerArubaSW | ft

    uri       vlan_id name         status        type      is_voice_enabled is_jumbo_enabled is_dsnoop_enabled is_management_vlan
    ---       ------- ----         ------        ----      ---------------- ---------------- ----------------- ------------------
    /vlans/85      85 PowerArubaSW VS_PORT_BASED VT_STATIC            True             False             False              False


# Remove a vlan
    Remove-ArubaSWVlans -id 85

Disconnecting

# Disconnect from the ArubaOS Switch
    Disconnect-ArubaSW

Issue

Unable to connect (certificate)

if you use Connect-ArubaSW and get Unable to Connect (certificate)

The issue coming from use Self-Signed or Expired Certificate for switch management Try to connect using Connect-ArubaSW -SkipCertificateCheck

Unable to connect

if you use Connect-ArubaSW and get Unable to Connect

Check if the HTTPS is enable on the switch

PowerArubaSW# show web-management

 Web Management - Server Configuration

  HTTP Access    : Enabled
  HTTPS Access   : Enabled
  SSL Port       : 443
  Idle Timeout   : 600 seconds
  Management URL : http://h17007.www1.hpe.com/device_help
  Support URL    : http://www.arubanetworks.com/products/networking/
  User Interface : Improved

if it is not enabled you can enable using

(config)# crypto pki enroll-self-signed certificate-name PowerArubaSW subject common-name PowerArubaSW country FR locality PowerArubaSW org PowerArubaSW org-unit PowerArubaSW
(config)# web-management ssl

You can use also Connect-ArubaSW -httpOnly for connect using HTTP (NOT RECOMMENDED !)

MultiConnection

From release 0.8.0, it is possible to connect on same times to multi switch You need to use -connection parameter to cmdlet

For example to get Vlan Ports of 2 switchs

# Connect to first switch
    $sw1 = Connect-ArubaSW 192.0.2.1 -SkipCertificateCheck -DefaultConnection:$false

#DefaultConnection set to false is not mandatory but only don't set the connection info on global variable

# Connect to second switch
    $sw2 = Connect-ArubaSW 192.0.2.1 -SkipCertificateCheck -DefaultConnection:$false

# Get Vlan Ports for first switch
    Get-ArubaSWVlanPorts -connection $sw1

    uri                  vlan_id port_id port_mode
    ---                  ------- ------- ---------
    /vlans-ports/1-1/1         1 1/1     POM_UNTAGGED
    /vlans-ports/23-1/2       23 1/2     POM_UNTAGGED
    /vlans-ports/1-1/3         1 1/3     POM_UNTAGGED
    /vlans-ports/23-1/3       23 1/3     POM_TAGGED_STATIC
....
# Get Vlan Ports for second switch
    Get-ArubaSWVlanPorts -connection $sw2

    uri                  vlan_id port_id port_mode
    ---                  ------- ------- ---------
    /vlans-ports/1-1/1         1 1/1     POM_UNTAGGED
    /vlans-ports/23-1/1       23 1/1     POM_TAGGED_STATIC
    /vlans-ports/1-1/2         1 1/2     POM_UNTAGGED
    /vlans-ports/23-1/3       23 1/3     POM_UNTAGGED
...

#Each cmdlet can use -connection parameter

MultiVersion

From release 1.0.0, it is possible to select API Version

For example to connect using API v2 (for some very old device) by default using v3 API and use last available (v8) release for other call

# Connect using API version
    Connect-ArubaSW 192.0.2.1 -SkipCertificateCheck -api_version 2

#to change the api version, you can use, the other API call will be use API v8

#You can also use -api_version with Invoke-ArubaSWWebRequest
