Overview
This node interacts with the Aruba Central Next Gen API to retrieve detailed information about access points (APs), specifically their ports list when using the "Access Points" resource and the "Get AP Ports List" operation. It is useful for network administrators who want to monitor or audit the physical and logical port configurations of their managed access points.
Typical use cases include:
- Fetching port details of a specific access point by its serial number.
- Integrating AP port data into broader network monitoring workflows.
- Automating inventory or compliance checks on AP hardware interfaces.
For example, a user can input an AP's serial number and receive a structured list of all ports on that device, which can then be used to verify connectivity or troubleshoot port-level issues.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Debug Mode | Whether to enable detailed debug logs for troubleshooting. |
| Domain | API domain to interact with. Options: - Monitoring: Monitor devices, clients, and sites - Configuration: Configure devices, groups, and profiles |
| Serial Number | Access point serial number (required). Used to specify which AP's ports list to retrieve. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the list of ports for the specified access point. Each item in the output typically contains detailed information about a single port, such as port identifiers, status, speed, errors, or other relevant metrics depending on the API response.
If binary data were involved (not indicated here), it would represent raw files or media related to the AP ports, but this node focuses on JSON metadata output.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to Aruba Central Next Gen API.
- Needs an API authentication token configured via n8n credentials (an OAuth2 or similar API key credential).
- The node uses internal helper modules for executing operations and logging, bundled within the node implementation.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Invalid or missing serial number will cause the API call to fail or return no data.
- Incorrect domain selection may lead to unsupported operations or empty responses.
- Network connectivity or authentication failures will prevent successful API calls.
Error Messages:
- Errors are caught and rethrown as node operation errors with descriptive messages.
- Typical error message: "Unknown error in node execution" if the underlying error is not properly propagated.
- To resolve, ensure correct serial number input, valid API credentials, and proper domain selection.
- Enable "Debug Mode" property to get detailed logs for troubleshooting.
