    You only need to set a ip address to switch

    by default the HTTP is enable !

    Greetings!

     

    As noted by alagoutte, plaintext HTTP Web UI access is enabled by default; an IP address must be configured on the switch and there must be basic IP reachability between the switch and the client.

     

    For secure Web access using TLS/SSL, a certificate must be installed on the switch before this capability can be enabled. To generate a self-signed certificate for testing purposes (not recommended for live production environments), follow the process documented in the Basic Operation Guide for ArubaOS-Switch. To generate a cryptographically-signed certificate using a trusted Certificate Authority (for production environments), use the procedure from the ArubaOS-Switch Hardening Guide.

    I was able to find a work around.  By default the http is enabled and if you have not configured any password before then it would automatically bring you to the admin level.

     

    But to be safe, first login to the CLI:

    conf t
     password operator user-name "operator" plaintext "password"
     password manager user-name "admin" plaintext "password"
    # http login will use admin or operator straight away no need for admin@system
    wr mem
    # OR
    save

     http://IP address of switch
     username: admin
     password: password
     click head icon and change to classic GUI
     Under Security > SSL > Certificate Requests
     Click Self-Signed Certificate
     Certificate Name: switch name or whatever you want to put
     Key Size: 2048
     Validity End Date: 2 years or whatever years you want to put > Click drop down arrow and choose 2021 then click date and ok
     Common Name CN: I just put the same name as Certificate Name
     Organizational Unit Name: Up to you
     Organization: up to you
     Locality: up to you
     State: up to you
     Country: up to you
     Click Install
     
     Security > SSL > Web Management > Change
     Tick enable
     SSL Port: 443
     Tick require SSL
     
     Click Save
     Test by logging in https://IP address of switch

    You can also generate certificate using CLi

     

    crypto pki enroll-self-signed certificate-name .....

    Yep, but there seems a lot of steps involved in the CLI and there is not a clear how to step by step commands on the internet... So I tried the workaround for now.

     

    Also, can the following commands be executed with a cut and paste in order to create a cli script or template for the self-signed Certificate?

     

    Ex:

    ArubaOS-Switch(config)# crypto pki enroll-self-signed certificate-name switch1 subject

    Enter Common Name(CN) : switch1
    Enter Org Unit(OU) : NetworkOperations
    Enter Org Name(O) : My Company
    Enter Locality(L) : CHI
    Enter State(ST) : IL
    Enter Country(C) :US

    How can I access the switch ip address if its in another subnet than what I am on? I have a network that is only used as mgmt of devices. Firewall rules on my end permit m,e to access but the Aruba switch will only let me access management if I am in the same network. For example, I am on 10.10./16 network, Mgmt network is 172.16.30.x/24. I can fully access anything on 172 networks based on my rules on the third-party firewall, but the Aruba switch will not allow me to manage the switch from 172.16 networks unless I am on that network. Any suggestions? I've setup Ip authorizations, they seem to not be of any help. What in the Aruba is preventing this?

    You need a routing to access IPs outside of your subnet.

     

    try "ip default-gateway X.X.X.X" on the switch.
