I think PLINK is trying to run command execution, instead of typing commands and capturing the output. As the message tells, command execution over SSH is not supported for ArubaOS Switches.
For collecting the switch configuration, you may use the job command to schedule a configuration archive. See here for more info about that.

Subject: Used PLINK to auto logon SSH to Aruba Switch
Hello,
I need your help, I have a powershell script to backup the switch configuration. On Alcatel no problem, everything works fine, but I'm having a problem with Aruba switches 3810M .
Here's the script:
echo yes| plink IP_ADD -l user -pw pwd 'show running-config' > F:\data\04.Documentation\Networking\Switch\Backup\$(get-date -f yyyy-MM-dd)_SWI.conf
So the script simply connects to SSH with the given information, performs a show run and then copies and pastes the configuration into a file, naming it with the current date.
My problem with Aruba is that I get a .txt file with the right name in the right place, but when I open it I get the message
"SSH command execution is not supported."
I already looked at different discussion about this topic in this forum but nothing helps me.

Thanks in advance
