API programming for CX switches - POE

  • 1.  API programming for CX switches - POE

    Posted Dec 18, 2023 01:50 PM

    We have several devices that seem to need POE bounced to them occasionally.  Not our AP's, but more like IP-cameras and other Iot devices.

    Today, we are having our service desk putty or web into switches (cx 6300's) and manually bounce the power.  I have been reading about how to do this in python, but it still seems to be a manual process.  What I would like, is to be able to list the switches, and then the ports in that switch stack.  And have one program, that is manually ran, or scheduled at say 2am.  that would then fire off and send the API command to those switches, and bounce the ports (from a pre-determined list of ports)

    Has anyone done something like that already?

    Hi Mike,

    yes it is possible using python and pyaoscx module, there is a "Setter" for enable/disable PoE https://github.com/aruba/pyaoscx/blob/master/pyaoscx/poe_interface.py#L250 

    Can you also look for use Ansible => https://github.com/aruba/aoscx-ansible-collection/blob/master/docs/aoscx_poe.md
