  • 1.  How to distinguish between a device running ArubaOS 8 and Aruba Instant OS?

    Posted Oct 09, 2024 01:46 PM

    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?

    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

    Hi Alexis,

    I must confess I do not have much experiences with Aruba so I did not check these options. But I will definitely look at them.

    Thank you

    Jiří

    Hi @jiri_pesik ! We have our Developer Hub where you will find guides discussing the API capabilities of all of our products - for AOS8 we have the API Reference guide available here which provides some endpoints in which you could use to GET information from the devices - hope this helps!
