Template only

Provisioning and configuring of Aruba 5400R switches and Aruba 5400R switch stacks is supported only through configuration templates. Aruba Central does not support moving Aruba 5400R switches from the template group to a UI group. If an Aruba 5400R switch is pre-assigned to a UI group, then the device is moved to an unprovisioned group after it joins.
