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)

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

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
