PowerArubaCX

This is a Powershell module for configure an ArubaCX Switch.

With this module (version 0.6.0) you can manage:

There is some extra feature

More functionality will be added later.

Tested with ArubaCX 8400 and 832x, 6x00 (using >= 10.06.xx firmware) on Windows/Linux/macOS

Usage

All resource management functions are available with the Powershell verbs GET, ADD, SET, REMOVE.

For example, you can manage Vlans with the following commands:

  • Get-ArubaCXVlans
  • Add-ArubaCXVlans
  • Set-ArubaCXVlans
  • Remove-ArubaCXVlans

Requirements

  • Powershell 7 (Core) or 5 (If possible get the latest version)
  • An ArubaCX Switch (with firmware >= 10.06.xx) and REST API enable

Instructions

Install the module

# Automated installation (Powershell 5 and later):
    Install-Module PowerArubaCX

# Import the module
    Import-Module PowerArubaCX

# Get commands in the module
    Get-Command -Module PowerArubaCX

# Get help
    Get-Help Invoke-ArubaCXRestMethod -Full

Examples

Connecting to the Aruba Switch

The first thing to do is to connect to an ArubaCX Switch with the command Connect-ArubaCX:

# Connect to the Aruba CX Switch
    Connect-ArubaCX 192.0.2.1

#we get a prompt for credential

Vlans Management

You can create a new Vlan Add-ArubaCXVlans, retrieve its information Get-ArubaCXVlans, modify its properties Set-ArubaCXVlans, or delete it Remove-ArubaCXVlans.

# Create a vlan
    Add-ArubaCXVlans -id 85 -Name 'PowerArubaCX'

# Remove a vlan
    Get-ArubaCXVlans -name PowerArubaCX | Remove-ArubaCXVlans

For configure a vlan to an interface, need to use Set-ArubaCXInterfaces

Invoke API

for example to get ArubaCX System Configuration

# get Aruba CX System configuration using API
    Invoke-ArubaCXRestMethod -method "get" -uri "system" -selector configuration

    aaa                                : @{fail_through=False; login_lockout_time=300; radius_auth=pap; radius_retries=1;

to get API uri, go to ArubaCX Swagger (https://ArubaCX-IP/api/v10.04/)

And choice a service (for example System)

Interface

On ArubaCX, on interface, there is all type of interface physical/system and virtual (LAG, Loopback, Vlans)

You can create a new interface (LAG, Loopback, Vlans) Add-ArubaCXInterfaces, retrieve its information Get-ArubaCXInterfaces, modify its properties Set-ArubaCXInterfaces or delete it Remove-ArubaCXInterfaces. There is also extra cmdlets for Add Add-ArubaCXInterfacesVlansTrunks / Remove Remove-ArubaCXInterfacesVlansTrunks Vlans trunks on interface (physical or LAG) or for Add Add-ArubaCXInterfacesLagInterface or Remove Remove-ArubaCXInterfacesLagInterface member (physical) interface on LAG.

VM

You can use PowerArubaCX for help to deploy Aruba CX OVA on VMware ESXi (With a vCenter) You need to have VMware.PowerCLI and Set-VMKeystrokes from William Lam

You can use the following cmdlet (on this order)

  • Deploy-ArubaCXVm Deploy CPPM OVA with add hard disk
  • Set-ArubaCXVMFirstBootPassword Configure first boot (Password...)
  • Set-ArubaCXVMMgmtOobm Configure OOBM Interface (ip, default-gateway)

MultiConnection

From release 0.4.0, it is possible to connect on same times to multi Aruba CX You need to use -connection parameter to cmdlet

For example to get system of 2 ArubaCX

# Connect to first ArubaCX
    $cx1 = Connect-ArubaCX 192.0.2.1 -SkipCertificateCheck -DefaultConnection:$false

#DefaultConnection set to false is not mandatory but only don't set the connection info on global variable

# Connect to second ArubaCX
    $cx2 = Connect-ArubaCX 192.0.2.2 -SkipCertificateCheck -DefaultConnection:$false

    # Get System hostname and mgmt  interface for first ArubaCX Switch
    Get-ArubaCXSystem -attributes mgmt_intf, hostname -connection $cx1

    hostname             mgmt_intf
    --------             ---------
    PowerArubaCX-Switch1 @{admin_state=up; default_gateway=10.200.11.254; dns_server_1=10.200.11.254; dns_server_2=0.0.0.0; ip=10.200.11.1; mode=static;

# Get Interface for second ArubaCX Switch
    Get-ArubaCXSystem -attributes mgmt_intf, hostname -connection $cx2

    hostname             mgmt_intf
    --------             ---------
    PowerArubaCX-Switch2 @{admin_state=up; default_gateway=10.200.11.254; dns_server_1=10.200.11.254; dns_server_2=0.0.0.0; ip=10.200.11.2; mode=static;

#Each cmdlet can use -connection parameter

Disconnecting

# Disconnect from the Aruba CX Switch
    Disconnect-ArubaCX
