Overview
This node interacts with the Aruba Central Next Gen API to retrieve and manage information related to Gateway resources, specifically focusing on monitoring and configuration domains. The "Gateway Cluster VLAN Mismatch Summary" operation provides a summary report of VLAN mismatches within a specified gateway cluster. This is useful for network administrators who want to quickly identify and troubleshoot VLAN configuration inconsistencies across cluster members, which can affect network segmentation and security.
Practical examples include:
- Monitoring VLAN consistency in a gateway cluster to ensure proper network segmentation.
- Quickly identifying VLAN mismatch issues that could cause connectivity problems or security risks.
- Integrating VLAN mismatch summaries into automated network health dashboards or alerting systems.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Debug Mode | Whether to enable detailed debug logs for troubleshooting (true/false). |
| Domain | API domain to interact with. Options: "Monitoring" (monitor devices, clients, sites) or "Configuration" (configure devices, groups, profiles). |
| Cluster Name | Gateway cluster name to specify which cluster's VLAN mismatch summary to retrieve. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the VLAN mismatch summary for the specified gateway cluster. The structure typically includes details about VLAN mismatches detected among cluster members, such as which VLANs are inconsistent and on which devices or interfaces these mismatches occur.
If binary data were output, it would represent associated files or reports, but this node focuses on JSON structured data summarizing VLAN mismatches.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to Aruba Central Next Gen API using an API authentication token configured in n8n credentials.
- Proper permissions to access gateway cluster monitoring data in the Aruba Central environment.
- Network connectivity to Aruba Central services.
Troubleshooting
- Common Issues:
- Incorrect or missing cluster name may result in no data or errors.
- Insufficient API permissions can cause authorization failures.
- Network connectivity issues to Aruba Central API endpoints.
- Error Messages:
- "Unknown error in node execution": Generic catch-all error; check API credentials and network.
- Authorization errors: Verify API key/token validity and permissions.
- Validation errors: Ensure required properties like "Cluster Name" and "Domain" are correctly set.
- Enabling "Debug Mode" helps provide detailed logs to diagnose issues.
