CLI Configured Switrches - Added to Aruba Central

  • 1.  CLI Configured Switrches - Added to Aruba Central

    Posted Jan 11, 2021 11:31 AM
    I have a quick question:

    I have about 20 Aruba 2930M Switches that were configured using CLI and are ] live in production.
    The customer wants to add them to Aruba Central, for Management etc.
    Is there and what is the procedure to add them to Central, and would I need to reconfigure the switch or is it a seamless process.

    Also, are the 6300M Switch Family supported on Central or net yet ?


    Kind Regards

    Hi,

    From my side, I prefer to start with a factory default configuration when adding switches to Central. However, it is possible to import the existing configuration as described here https://help.central.arubanetworks.com/2.5.2/documentation/online_help/content/switches/get-started/prov_tmplt_prcnf.htm

    For a list of supported devices check the latest Central documentation (2.5.2 as of today) - 6300m is supported in template mode
    https://help.central.arubanetworks.com/2.5.2/documentation/online_help/content/nms/overview/supported_devices.htm

    Thanx for the reply.

    I followed the steps in the document, however I get the below results on the switch
    I did configure NZTP, and DNS, and is able to ping the server address from the switch
    I did enter:  activate provision enable & activate provision force
    I also did add it on Central.

    (when this switch is Factory Defaulted - it does connect to Central, but not with a config already on)

    What is the code that you are currently running?

    Can you run the following command on the switch:

    show crypto pki ta-profile
