Hi Jiri
Why don't use API or SNMP to get device info ?
------------------------------
PowerArubaSW : Powershell Module to use Aruba Switch API for Vlan, VlanPorts, LACP, LLDP...
PowerArubaCP: Powershell Module to use ClearPass API (create NAD, Guest...)
PowerArubaCL: Powershell Module to use Aruba Central
PowerArubaCX: Powershell Module to use ArubaCX API (get interface/vlan/ports info)..
ACEP / ACMX #107 / ACDX #1281

Subject: How to distinguish between a device running ArubaOS 8 and Aruba Instant OS?
Hello,
I have several Arista devices in my network, and I'm looking for the best way to distinguish whether a device is running ArubaOS 8 or Aruba Instant-OS. I initially focused on using the show version
command, but the outputs are quite similar, making it difficult to differentiate between them.
One distinction I noticed is in the "up-time" line. For example, on an Instant-OS device, the output displays:
"AP uptime is 20 days 13 hours 33 minutes 5 seconds."
Meanwhile, on an ArubaOS 8 device, the line appears as:
"Switch uptime is 22 days 2 hours 33 minutes 4 seconds."
Does this mean that Instant-OS always labels the uptime information with "AP," while ArubaOS 8 uses "Switch"? Is this a consistent rule across all devices? Or are there some other commands I can rely on?
