Configuring AOS-Switches in UI Groups

This section describes the configuration and viewing procedures for the switches in the UI groups.

Aruba Central (on-premises) does not support adding pre-configured switches to a UI group. Pre-configured switches that have pre-assigned UI switch groups are added to the Unassigned Devices group. To provision a pre-configured switch to a UI group or move a switch from a template group to a UI group, complete the following steps:

Clear the switch configuration.
Delete the device from Aruba Central (on-premises).
Provision the switch as a new device in a UI group.

To configure or view properties of the switches provisioned in UI groups, perform the following procedure:

In the Network Operations app, select one of the following options:
- To select a switch group in the filter:
  1. Set the filter to a group containing at least one switch.
    The dashboard context for the group is displayed.
  2. Under Manage, click Devices > Switches.
  3. Click the AOS-S or Config icon to view the switch configuration dashboard.
- To select a switch in the filter:
  1. Set the filter to Global or a group containing at least one switch.
  2. Under Manage, click Devices > Switches.
    A list of switches is displayed in the List view.
  3. Click a switch under Device Name.
    The dashboard context for the switch is displayed.
  4. Under Manage, click Device.
    The tabs to configure the switch is displayed.
Click the configuration icon to edit the switch properties. Tabs to access different configuration pages are displayed.
The following table describes the different configuration pages and their functions.

Table 1: Tabs for Configuring AOS-Switches Provisioned in a UI Group
Tab	Function
Switches	Configure or view general switch properties, such as, hostname, type of IP addressing, and so on. See Configuring or Viewing the Switch Properties.
Stacks	Create stacks, add members, or view stacking details such as stack type, stack id, topology and so on. See AOS-Switch Stack.
Ports	Assign or view port properties, such as, PoEPower over Ethernet. PoE is a technology for wired Ethernet LANs to carry electric power required for the device in the data cables. The IEEE 802.3af PoE standard provides up to 15.4 W of power on each port., access policies, and trunk groups. See Configuring Switch Ports on AOS-Switches
PoE	Configure or view PoE settings for each port. See Configuring PoE Settings on AOS-Switch Ports.
Trunk Groups	Configure or view trunk groups and their associated properties, such as, members of the trunk group, type of trunk group and so on. See Configuring Trunk Groups on AOS-Switches in UI Groups.
VLANsVirtual Local Area Network. In computer networking, a single Layer 2 network may be partitioned to create multiple distinct broadcast domains, which are mutually isolated so that packets can only pass between them through one or more routers; such a domain is referred to as a Virtual Local Area Network, Virtual LAN, or VLAN.	Configure or view VLANs and the associated ports and access policies. See Configuring VLANs on AOS-Switches.
Spanning Tree	Configure or view spanning tree protocol and its associated properties. See Enabling Spanning Tree Protocol on AOS-Switches in UI Groups.
Loop Protection	Configure or view loop protection and its associated properties. See Configuring Loop Protection on AOS-Switch Ports.
Access Policy	Add or view access policies. See Configuring Access Policies on AOS-Switches.
DHCPDynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A network protocol that enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to an IP-enabled device from a defined range of numbers configured for a given network. Snooping	Configure or view DHCP snoopingDHCP snooping enables the switch to monitor and control DHCP messages received from untrusted devices that are connected to the switch., authorized DHCP servers IP addresses, and their associated properties. See Configuring DHCP Snooping on AOS-Switches.
Port Rate Limit	View or specify bandwidth to be used for inbound or outbound traffic for each port. See Configuring Port Rate Limit on AOS-Switchesin UI Groups.
RADIUSRemote Authentication Dial-In User Service. An Industry-standard network access protocol for remote authentication. It allows authentication, authorization, and accounting of remote users who want to access network resources.	Configure or view RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server settings on switches. See Configuring RADIUS Server Settings on AOS-Switches.
Downloadable User Role	Enable Downloadable User Role option and configure ClearPassClearPass is an access management system for creating and enforcing policies across a network to all devices and applications. The ClearPass integrated platform includes applications such as Policy Manager, Guest, Onboard, OnGuard, Insight, Profile, QuickConnect, and so on. settings to download user-roles, policy, and class from the ClearPass Policy ManagerClearPass Policy Manager is a baseline platform for policy management, AAA, profiling, network access control, and reporting. With ClearPass Policy Manager, the network administrators can configure and manage secure network access that accommodates requirements across multiple locations and multivendor networks, regardless of device ownership and connection method. server. See Configuring Downloadable User Role on AOS-Switches.
Tunnel Node Server	Configure or view tunneled node on switches. See Configuring Tunnel Node Server on AOS-Switches.
Authentication	Configure or view 802.1X802.1X is an IEEE standard for port-based network access control designed to enhance 802.11 WLAN security. 802.1X provides an authentication framework that allows a user to be authenticated by a central authority. authentication and MACMedia Access Control. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network. authentication for switches. See Configuring Authentication for AOS-Switches.
Access/DNSDomain Name System. A DNS server functions as a phone book for the intranet and Internet users. It converts human-readable computer host names into IP addresses and IP addresses into host names. It stores several records for a domain name such as an address 'A' record, name server (NS), and mail exchanger (MX) records. The Address 'A' record is the most important record that is stored in a DNS server, because it provides the required IP address for a network peripheral or element.	Configure or view the administrator and operator logins. See Configuring System Parameters for AOS-Switches.
Time	Configure time synchronization in switches. See Configuring Time Synchronization on AOS-Switches.
SNMPSimple Network Management Protocol. SNMP is a TCP/IP standard protocol for managing devices on IP networks. Devices that typically support SNMP include routers, switches, servers, workstations, printers, modem racks, and more. It is used mostly in network management systems to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention.	Add or view SNMP community and its trap destination. See Configuring SNMP on AOS-Switches.
CDPCisco Discovery Protocol. CDP is a proprietary Data Link Layer protocol developed by Cisco Systems. CDP runs on Cisco devices and enables networking applications to learn about the neighboring devices directly connected to the network.	Configure CDP and its associated properties. See Configuring CDP on AOS-Switches.
Routing	Configure or view a specific routing path to a gateway. See Configuring Routing on AOS-Switches.
DHCP	Enable DHCP server and add DHCP pools on switches. See Configuring DHCP on AOS-Switches.
IGMPInternet Group Management Protocol. Communications protocol used by hosts and adjacent routers on IP networks to establish multicast group memberships.	Configure IGMP and its associated properties. See Configuring IGMP on AOS-Switches.
IP Client Tracker	Configure IP Client Tracker to access trusted and untrusted client networks. See Configuring IP Client Tracker on AOS-Switches.
QoSQuality of Service. It refers to the capability of a network to provide better service and performance to a specific network traffic over various technologies.	Create QoS traffic policies. define QoS classes and change the priorities of traffic on switches. See Configuring QoS Settings on AOS-Switches.
Device Profile	Configure or view device profile and device identifier settings on switches. See Configuring Device Profile and Device Identifier on AOS-Switches.
Configuration Audit	View configuration sync errors and overrides. See Verifying Device Configuration Status.
