The wired client will show up in the Client Devices table only if the client is connected to an Aruba 2540 Switch Series, Aruba 2920 Switch Series, Aruba 2930F Switch Series, Aruba 2930M Switch Series, Aruba 3810 Switch Series, Aruba 5400R Switch Series, or any of the Aruba CX Switch Series.

Actions

The Actions tab displays the various options available for remote administration of the switch. The following options are available:

Reboot—Reboots the switch. See Monitoring Switches and Switch Stacks.

Tech Support—Allows the administrators to generate a tech support dump for troubleshooting the device. See Monitoring Switches and Switch Stacks.

Console—Opens the remote console for a CLI session through SSH. Ensure that you allow SSH over port 443. The default user ID is admin, but you can edit and customize the user ID. This custom user ID must be mapped to the device. See Monitoring Switches and Switch Stacks.

For Aruba CX 8320 and 8325 switch series, you must enable SSH server on the default VRF. Add the ssh server vrf default code to the template.
