Auto device detection and configuration
The auto device detection and configuration detects a directly connected Aruba AP dynamically and applies
predefined configurations to ports on which the Aruba AP is detected.
You can create port configuration profiles, associate them to a device type, and enable or disable a device type.
The only device type supported is aruba-ap and it is used to identify all the Aruba APs.
When a configured device type is connected on a port, the system automatically applies the corresponding port
profile. Connected devices are identified using LLDP. When the LLDP information on the port ages out, the device
profile is removed.
By default, the device profile feature is disabled. When you enable the device profile support for a device type, if
no other device profile is mapped to the device type, the default device profile default-ap-profile is
associated with the device type. You can modify the AP default device profile configuration but you cannot delete
it. The default-ap-profile command supports only the AP device type.
Requirements
Only APs directly connected to the switch will be detected.
Limitations
• Only one device type is supported, aruba-ap, and it is used to identify all the Aruba APs.
• You can modify the configuration parameters of the default profile, default-ap-profile, but you cannot
delete it or change its name.
• The maximum value for poe-max-power is 33 W.
• If the port was part of any protocol VLANs prior to the device profile application, those VLANs will not be
removed while applying the device profile.
• Egress rate limiting is not supported on the Aruba 2530 Switch Series.
• The egress-bandwidth is only supported for devices running on:
◦ Aruba 2920 Switch Series
◦ Aruba 2930F Switch Series
◦ Aruba 5400R zl2 Switch Series v2 & v3 modules
• The egress-bandwidth option is not supported and not displayed in the CLI running on:
Aruba 2530 Switch Series
